r/TwitchStreamers

I’m still a pretty small streamer with low viewership, and I’m curious how other small streamers actually found people they trusted to mod their chats.

Right now I technically have two mods. One is a good friend of mine, but he isn’t able to be in every stream and doesn’t really know much about streaming/Twitch. My boyfriend is also a mod, but most of the time he just has my stream open on mute to support me as a viewer. He’ll occasionally catch and take care of one of those bots promoting AI/botted viewers, but he’s not really actively watching chat.

I also don’t have a big circle of friends IRL, so “just ask another friend you trust” isn’t really an option for me. The few people I am close with either aren’t into streaming/Twitch or aren’t people I’d want to ask to regularly sit in my streams and moderate.

I do have one viewer who is pretty consistently in my streams and active in chat, but I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable making him a mod. There have been multiple times where I’ve had to tell him that something he said wasn’t appropriate for chat, so giving him moderation privileges definitely doesn’t feel like the right move just because he’s a regular.

Obviously with my viewership being small, I don’t need a whole mod team or someone watching chat like a hawk every second lol. But I’d like to eventually have at least one person who understands my stream/community, is around somewhat consistently, and who I trust to step in if someone is being weird while I’m focused on the game.

I feel like my best option is probably eventually finding someone through my community, but I also don’t want to hand out mod to someone just because they show up a lot.

So for other small streamers, especially those who didn’t already have a bunch of friends willing to mod for them, how did you find your mods? Were they regular viewers who eventually earned your trust, other streamers, or someone else? How long did you know them before you felt comfortable giving them mod?

I’m an experienced content creator + streamer, and I want to ask other content creators (streamers, video bloggers, etc.):

If someone offered to help you for free, what would you realistically wish they could do for you?

I’m looking for realistic things—not big, ongoing commitments or consistent daily work for free.

What kind of small tasks or occasional help would actually be valuable to you?

Hey y’all!

My boyfriend has recently restarted his dream streaming! I’m hoping i can promote him enough to give him the boost he needs to get going!

His twitch is: ACookedClutch
Yt: ACookedClutch
Tiktok:CookedClutch

Any and all love and support would be gratefully appreciated!! Don’t tell him I sent you!!

I’ve played many games and almost everyone I play with doesn’t want to be on a stream. And I don’t trust random match making for reasons of possibly getting banned from what they say. So how do you find other streamers or just gamers who want to play and stream together?

Im new streamer and I need some followers bad lol anyone willing to come say hi on twitch. My channel is called straybudz for now. Just trying out a new username to see how i feel about. Please jump in chat and let me know what you think

Hey all you internet people, I'm a pretty new streamer

I've been lurking here for a couple weeks trying to gather what info i can to assist in my streaming endeavors, but I'm having trouble finding any Australian groups. Specifically AEST

Most of the posts i have found seem to be old and the information is limited

Can anyone recommend small Aussie stream communities? or give any advise on where to look?

I'm just looking for a bunch of people i can befriend and collab with as a group

I'm looking for people in the age range of 18-30 (I'm 21)

TLDR; I don't really care how much of a following anyone has, just want some friends i can mess around with and have a real fun time whilst streaming together

Thanks in advance

Hey guys im just starting out on twitch, Ive been at it for about a month now and have about 100 followers and I was just wondering if it was a good idea to add a starting soon and ending soon screen to my streams? Or if its too soon for that?

Currently starting my streaming journey and I find that high energy, viewer engagement, and funny moments are key for content creation for twitch, YouTube, shorts and TikTok videos.
I don't have many friends who play pc games like I do except one who is also doing casual streaming. I figure if I can find some people who are open minded to making new friends, and having a fun time gaming, it could be beneficial for every party involved as far as making content is concerned and just genuinely making good friends. And for those wondering, no I am not a kid or teenager. I'm a 25 y/o guy just trying to have fun gaming and make new friends in the process.
For anyone interested, shoot me a dm. I stream every day sometimes twice a day at my desk, playing random games. (must have good energy)

If you stream on Twitch, Amazon is currently scraping your broadcasts, VODs, clips, channel text, and even your chat log to train their Generative AI models.

They opted every single creator in by default. You were not asked for permission.

How to opt out immediately:

1. Go to Twitch Settings
2. Open the Security and Privacy tab
3. Scroll down to "Training for Generative AI"
4. TOGGLE IT OFF

Stop letting megacorporations use your voice, face, and creative labor for free to train their AI models.

Pass this on to every streamer you know.

i want to keep growing my channel, and i would love as much advice and thoughts possible from others! i see my channel from the perspective of the streamer herself, but input from viewers is way more impactful to my growth.

any recommendations on things i can change? improve? tips and tricks?

Looking for 2–3 funny streamers/creators to build a recurring gaming group

I’m looking for a couple of genuinely funny people to play multiplayer games with on stream and turn the best sessions into edited longform YouTube videos.

Think friends playing increasingly stupid games together, with a focus on personality, banter, shit-talking and funny moments rather than being cracked at the game.

I’m NOT looking for follow-for-follow, networking for the sake of networking, or people trying to sell me their streamer Discord.

I’m looking for people who:

• Are naturally funny / good at riffing
• Can carry a conversation without forcing it
• Are comfortable joking around with new people
• Play a variety of games
• Have some streaming/content experience (audience size doesn't matter much)
• Have a decent mic
• Are reliable and actually want to make content
• Are roughly 21–31
• EST/time zones close to EST are preferred

The goal is to find 2–3 people who genuinely click, play together regularly, and eventually become a recurring group/cast.

If you're interested, drop your Twitch/YouTube and a clip/video that you think represents your personality best.

I care way more about whether you're funny than how many followers you have.

Bonjour à tous, je débute sur Twitch et pendant mon live, des gens me proposent d’être leur modo pour trier les spammer mais il se trouve que ce sont peut-être eu les spammers. Comment reconnaître une vraie personne . Je vous avoue que ça ruine un peu mon expérience sur twitch pendant mes sessions . Si vous avez une solution, je suis preneur

im not going to link my twitch unless someone asks too but i had my first stream today and these we're the analytics

I just wanted to share them with some people, I didnt get raided/bot/friends join in

Has your payout for the current cycle been processed?

I didn't get my payout for the last 2 months, now I am kinda anxious.

Hello! I stream fps and horror games. My goal is to create a community where people can chill and play and connect with other gamers and content creator!

I learned about ghost chatters the other day and it finally put a name to something that always bothered me while streaming.
It’s when someone comes into your stream, starts a conversation, apparently they start a conversation by asking things like “How are you?”, so you reply and try to talk with them… and then they just leave without answering back. They never return either.
Apparently it’s also called hit-and-run conversation. Even if it only happens once, it can feel pretty disrespectful because you put in the effort to engage and then get left hanging.
Just sharing in case it helps anyone else who deals with the same thing. Though I think I’ll just ignore those types of people or block them. But are there better ways to handle them?
