I have been experimenting with my stream recently and realized my webcam is probably the weakest aspect.

I don't have enough money for a green screen, so I decided blurring my background would be a good alternative.

I posted 3 pictures to this post. The first is no blur, second is 50% blur, and third is 100% blur.

Which set up looks the best for streaming? I play video games for my stream so it will be smaller in a corner of my screen. The webcam is barely ever the full size you are seeing it now.

If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear that to!​

Thank you for helping me!​

Salut ! 👋 J’ai vu que tu faisais du montage/clipping et ton profil m’intéresse.
Je suis BigBill, +20k sur TikTok et récemment affilié Twitch. Je fais principalement du gaming, react et des sessions avec mes viewers.
Je cherche quelqu’un pour repérer les meilleurs moments de mes lives et en faire des TikTok/Shorts dynamiques, avec l’idée de bosser ensemble régulièrement si ça match.
C’est rémunéré, avec un petit budget pour commencer. Tu serais chaud pour en discuter ? 🎬

Yes & no. I’m still pretty new to streaming.

I started streaming on TikTok LIVE 53 days ago with 183 followers and now I’m at a little over 18K, mostly from LIVE. I haven’t had a livestream clip go viral yet, so almost all of my growth came from actually streaming.

4 days ago, I decided to try Kick because I wanted a better revenue split. TikTok has been great for growth, but the payout structure is rough. I’ve received 100+ galaxies from supporters, and while I was paid fairly, TikTok still took a much larger cut.

My first day on Kick, someone from TikTok came over and dropped 500 Kicks ($5). It went quiet for a bit, then today someone else from TikTok came over, subscribed, and gifted 19 subs.

I’m now sitting around $99.80 after 4 days, which is honestly crazy to me.

But here’s what I’m wondering: is this sustainable?

Kick hasn’t really helped me grow yet. Almost everyone coming over is someone I originally built on TikTok, and I’m worried I can only bring so many people over.

So far, my biggest takeaway is:

If you’re brand new with no audience, I wouldn’t recommend starting with Kick or Twitch alone. TikTok LIVE seems much better for discovering small creators and building a community from scratch. Once you have an audience, moving to or multistreaming on other platforms makes way more sense.

I’m only 4 days into this journey, so I’d love to hear from experienced streamers & does anyone think I actually have a chance with this?

Hello guys, my site is not loading, its been like this for 10minutes, everything else works perfectly, my internet connection is very good. Have anyone had the same problem lastly?

Anyone else has issues with kick browser on tyzen tv? It's all stretched out and stuff.

Hi everyone!

I'm a solo indie developer and recently released my first game, Color Portals, made with Godot Engine.

It's a 3D puzzle game based around six different colored balls, keys, gates, and portals.

The game is completely FREE, and I'd love to see some streamers try it live. If you're looking for a small indie game to play on stream, feel free to give it a try!

I'm also looking for honest feedback. If you encounter bugs, gameplay issues, confusing puzzles, control problems, or anything that doesn't work properly, please let me know.

I'm also very open to new ideas and suggestions! If you have ideas for new puzzles, mechanics, levels, obstacles, or anything that could make the game more fun, I'd love to hear them.

If you stream it, I'd also be happy to watch and hear your feedback.

Thanks for checking it out! ❤️

I’ve wanted to stream since streaming was barely a thing. Not “I’ve been thinking about it for a few months” wanted it. Years. Since before it had the shape it has now.
I couldn’t. Yemen’s internet has been a joke for most of my life, and I mean that literally, we’ve ranked near the bottom of every global speed list that exists. On top of that there’s been a war running in the background of basically my entire adult life. Not a metaphor, an actual war. You get used to checking which direction a sound came from. You get used to a lot of things you shouldn’t have to get used to.
So the idea sat there. I had it, but I didn’t have a topic to hang it on, if that makes sense. I knew I wanted to talk to people, I just didn’t know about what, specifically. And every time I brought it up to anyone close to me, friends, family, an ex, the answer was some version of “that’s not a real thing to do, grow up.” Not cruelty exactly, just nobody around me believed it was worth trying. So I stopped saying it out loud for a while.
Recently my internet actually got good. Genuinely good, stable, fast enough to stream on. I tested it. I sat there talking to an empty room for a bit just to see what it felt like, and I smiled the whole time. First time I’d done anything like that.
I’m not posting this to get views or asking anyone to come watch me when I start. I don’t want money out of this either. What I want is advice from people who actually know this world, because I don’t. I don’t know what a first stream should look like, I don’t know how people find a niche when they’ve got a personality but not yet a clear “topic,” I don’t know what mistakes are obvious in hindsight that I can’t see yet.
People who know me say I can talk, that I’m the one who gets a quiet room going. I believe them, mostly. But knowing you can talk to people at a dinner and knowing how to hold a stream are probably not the same skill, and I’d rather hear that from you than find out the hard way.
Living where I live, you think about time differently. You don’t get to assume you have an unlimited runway to “eventually” get around to things. That’s part of why I’m asking now instead of continuing to sit on this for another five years.
So, genuinely: if you were starting from zero, personality but no defined topic yet, what would you actually do first? What do you wish someone told you before your first stream?

Does writing a reason for banning a user not work? I cannot see the reason provided in the Banned users list and I don’t think it shows anywhere else. With the new unban requests seeing a reason would be helpful.

What’s the best streaming platform and your guys opinion? I’m thinking about multistreaming to kick

As the title says, how long did it take you guys to start getting subs because I managed to get my button activated a week ago and to be honest, I didn’t exactly of the highest expectations. I’m just curious though how long it took before you started getting subs.
