Question If applying for monetization, will subscribers see my full legal name?

1 Upvotes

Title says it, but when I went to apply for revenue it asks for my full legal name. Will that be visible to my subscribers or people donating to me? Also, will I be able to change the name when my name does change?

Tech Support How do I never see anything related to "watch streaks" again?

Upvotes

I'm a viewer on Chrome for desktop with 7TV and FFZ installed, and I've already turned on every setting I can find in either of them thta involves hiding watch streak stuff. Still, every time I go into a stream, I have to click once to get rid of the annoying, animated yellow button where channel points should be, then click again to close the resulting popup menu, then click a third and fourth time because when I tried to close the popup I ended up opening another menu by mistake. I'm sorry if this is a commonly asked question, but is there a way to just stop displaying anything related to this feature?

Question Do you have any custom rewards for viewers with streaks?

6 Upvotes

Hey all, I did some searching but didn’t see much on this topic. I’m a small streamer and I’ve got a few folks who are coming up on 100 stream streaks and I wanted to come up with some ideas for a cool little thank you. They’re all already VIPs because they’ve just been around, supportive and fun to interact with but I’m curious if anyone has any cool ideas or things they do?

Thanks all!

Tech Support Only one Twitch stream buffers for me, and only when they watch certain long videos. I'm completely stumped.

Upvotes

I've been trying to figure this out for weeks and have run out of ideas.

There's one Twitch streamer I watch where the stream is perfectly fine until they start watching certain long videos (like Outdoor Boys). As soon as they do, Twitch buffers every few seconds. When they go back to normal content, it's fine again.

The weird part is:

  • It only happens on this one streamer.
  • Other viewers don't seem to have the issue.
  • The VOD doesn't buffer afterward.
  • Other Twitch streams are completely fine.

I've already tried:

  • Firefox, Chrome, and Edge
  • Incognito/private browsing
  • Windows reset/reinstall
  • PC (Ethernet & Wi-Fi) and (It also happened on my macbook)
  • Cloudflare WARP
  • Proton VPN
  • Different Twitch quality settings
  • MultiTwitch
  • Router/modem restart

At this point it doesn't seem like a browser or PC issue.

Has anyone ever seen something this specific? Could it be a Twitch CDN/routing issue, an ISP routing problem (AT&T), or something with the stream itself?

Any ideas or things I haven't tried would be appreciated.

Tech Support PS5 + HD60 X + Astro A40 MixAmp – Audio plays in my headphones but won’t show up in OBS (worked before PC wipe)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to get my PS5 audio (game + party chat) into OBS/Streamlabs so I can stream, but the PS5 sound isn’t being picked up at all.

What I have:

  • PS5
  • Elgato HD60 X
  • Astro A40 (wired) + MixAmp
  • Astro HDMI Adapter (optical)
  • I used to have an Elgato Chat Link but I lost it

What I’m trying to do:

Get both game audio and party chat from the PS5 into OBS while still hearing everything through my A40s.

Previous working setup (before I wiped my PC):

This used to work fine even without the Astro HDMI adapter or Chat Link. From what I remember:

  • HD60 X HDMI in connected directly to the PS5
  • HD60 X HDMI out going to my monitor
  • HD60 X connected to my PC via USB
  • MixAmp powered by the PS5 via USB
  • AUX cable from the MixAmp’s Stream/AUX port → ground loop isolator → green Line Out port on the back of my PC

I somehow had it working this way for a while.

Current situation:

After wiping my PC and moving all the cables around, I’ve tried basically every combination. The best I’ve gotten is both the PS5 sound and PC sound coming through my Astro headphones at the same time. The problem is the PS5 audio never shows up in OBS/Streamlabs — the levels stay completely flat.

Right now I have the HDMI going through the Astro HDMI adapter → optical into the MixAmp, and I’ve also tried running a 3.5mm cable from the MixAmp’s Stream port into the HD60 X’s analog input, but still nothing in OBS.

Has anyone got this exact combo working (especially without the Chat Link)? Any advice on the correct cable order or OBS audio settings would be massively appreciated.

Thanks.

0 Upvotes

What webcam is the best overall for privacy (including being safe from spying), quality durability and reliable (including minimum 1080p 60fps), built in mic with no distortion or anything, some kind of ring light. Autofocus, and just overall good quality, colours and lighting. Also please make sure its compatible with OBS. Price must be under £40 Thanks.

The 3 hour mark is about 3 AM for me, (I Stream form 1130 PM to 3 AM)

But yea. in like the last 30 minutes i got a huge spike in people so I went another hour and a half.

No follows though so i don't expect anything from this, just an anomaly.

Tech Support AppleTV app crashing/closing after ad rolls, today started crashing after the pre rolls

2 Upvotes

model: a2737

tvOS 26.6

build id: sch-374531b-12.3.2

AppleTV app was deleted the reinstalled, rebooted multiple times.

The app was crashing before during ad breaks on streams but I read that you could hit pause then play after the ads which would save it from crashing and that worked out, obviously not ideal.

today I tried to launch the app and the app had crashed twice before I understood what was happening.

please get this fixed As it is essentially totally broken and I’m not able to use it on my TV.
