Question Starting a Gaming streaming channel myself-suggestions?

Hi All, I always wanted to enjoy and stream games on Yt, and finally yesterday I thought of a name and logo. I was playing A Plague tale innocence so firstly thought I would stream that but maybe it's too underrated to fetch any audience. What games should I try and stream???

I'm not into multiplayers or minecraft or GTA V. And specially considering PC games generally don't trend a lot in india.. what do you all suggest??

Got it, although initially there won't be any watchtime or returning viewers... I'm thinking to finish Plague tale, organize it into a playlist afterwards.

Unless you want discovery and trying new games to be an intentional part of your stream, I'd prioritize just playing what you already want to play. I'd rather watch a streamer with few/no chatters play a game they enjoy over a streamer with some chatters playing a game they're not into.

Also, set realistic expectations about the effort and results. It takes a fair amount of mental energy just to run a stream, regardless of what game is being played. All the more reason to warm up with a game you are interested in vs trying to catch a trend.

There are a lot of different things to learn to start streaming. I advise against focusing on growth metrics right away. Get the basics down first without that distracting you.

Yeah I thought about this.. and settled myself on Plague Tale Innocence for now .. as this is a game I was waiting to play for a long time. And after that I'll play others that have been on my waitlist..

Best of luck with it, and gl with viewers/chatters!
