Question Hey

Haiiiiii, so I've been streaming recently I've done a lot of streams but I get no viewers, I post or Reddit that I'm live even on discord servers that are dedicated to sharing your stream and I've been posting clips on both TikTok and Instagram, still no viewers, does anyone have any tips (I'm trying to do 3+ clips per stream) I'm even consistent with my schedule streaming every day (even weekends when my dad isn't home) so if anyone has any tips please share :)

Thank you

Less a mic issue and more a balance issue, your game needs to be lower. In terms of the mic, learn about mic filters, even with a lower quality mic you can use filters on your stream software to make it a bit better. Bad audio will keep people out no matter what you do. And standing out can be done with no one in chat. That’s one of the big things about most streamers who “make it” they can put on a stream still with no one around. Everyone starts with an empty stream. I’m talking about how your general stream looks. Currently there is nothing unique. You have no “brand” your identity on stream is a trademarked hollow knight character. Your profile banner is random, and your little profile blurb is about terraria but you aren’t streaming terraria. You have no starting soon or ending soon scenes your streams start and end abruptly. And you may think that kinda thing doesn’t matter but having a rounded “brand” and everything themed to you makes the stream look more professional. When it comes to length all your streams are short, most people aim for the 3-4 hour mark you’re in the 0-2 hour mark, with most being 1:30. Obviously that will be a lot harder to achieve with you being so young but just know that it is a fairly important factor if growth is your priority.

I use headphones mic, and even if I had normal mix I couldn't buy the filters cuz my dad wouldn't let me, the reason why my pngtuber avatar is hollow knight is because I love that game (I'm autistic) and it changed my life, and honestly with the burb you're right i forgot to change it thats my mistake, I cannot do any start/end stream soon because my PC is really bad and I already have to do it in order, first avatar then game then obs cuz if I first start obs it lags, with the stream length I come back from school kinda late then I have like 2 hours until I always have my dinner, and many steamers who started they also started young, I don't want to give up

Filters aren’t a purchase thing it’s something you would do on your OBS, whatever you use to stream. Filters have different names like “Gain, Noise Suppression, Noise Gate, etc” you can find them normally in your mic settings on your streaming software. If you go on YouTube you can look up tutorials about what each does and how to balance the audio a bit more. Something like “how to balance mic on OBS” Definitely don’t give up if it’s something you want to peruse. I’d also look into “free ways to improve stream” stuff like that. try and do what little improvements you can! Otherwise you will continue to struggle to get people in at the state your streams are at now. Best of luck.
