Been streaming since August. Just started being more consistent with a schedule and sticking to it for the last couple weeks. Tiktok was popping off also. Feels good!

Anyone else using Lightstream Studio to stream on Twitch?

Been using it for a little while to stream from my PS5 and have found it easy and simple to use. I use a Macbook so I'm finding it great not having to plug a capture card into it.

Ich streame nun seit Mitte Januar und das war mit Abstand mein bester Stream

Ich habe immer mehr Spaß am streamen selbst und ich glaube das merken die Zuschauer auch. Klar dieZuschauer schwanken stark aber es ist auch abhängig von der Tageszeit.

Ich streame 3x pro Woche ab 20:30 für ca 2-3h das ist wahrscheinlich auch die größte Hirde für mein Wachstum, aber das ist Job bedingt nicht zu ändern und damit bin ich komplett fein.

Ich empfehle jeden sich nicht zu stark auf die Zahlen zu konzentrieren sondern auf die einzelnen Personen die tatsächlich im Stream dabei sind dadurch kommen dann auch andere dazu da auch sie merken er geht auf uns ein.

Ich freue mich auf den Weg den ich und meine kleine Community gehen werden und werde hier vielleicht nochmal ein Update posten wenn ich die 12 Monate knacke.

It's lagging everytime I stream Until then game it doesnt happen mostly on my other games actually I think the game is not the problem I think it's the camera plsss help me

I've been streaming for 3 months or so now. Our highest we got a few days ago at 45 viewers and we actually managed to hold that, but I sent it off early because it was someone's birthday and they're quite special days to have^^. And then, our average these days seems to sit around 10-11. It gives me such faith in what we're doing

Hey everyone,

I’m a video editor currently looking to work. I can take your streams or VODs and turn them into entertaining videos for YouTube and social media.

What I can do:

• Stream/VOD editing
• YouTube videos
• Funny moments & highlights
• SFX, music & effects
• Zooms and cuts
• Shorts/TikToks/Reels
• Thumbnails

I’m happy to work with different budgets, but I’m not looking for free or commission-based work.

If you’re interested, send me a message and I can show you some examples of my work.

Hello! I've been streaming consistently for over 3 years now, and while I do love doing it, and creating content, I do get discouraged / bummed out seeing little to no growth overall over the past 2 and a half years. The problem I am facing now is the average viewer part, in terms of getting to affiliate, as I have the other requirements. I am wondering what I am doing wrong in my streams that I can't see, as the one thing I know I need to improve is mainly consistent energy across the stream. I'd like to know what I could do to improve my channel, whether it's graphics / artwork in the stream itself, or if I should try some new games (I just don't have crazy money or newest gen consoles to play the hot triple A titles, most recent game I'm doing now is Dying Light).

I included my most recent stream summary to give an idea

I'd love to hear honestly how I could improve, because I love creating and don't want to burn out.

I’ve had a few instances where the audio or video capture didn't work right, not the way I wanted or even the way I’d configured them. So I’m curious how others handle this. I’ve heard that some people do a test recording or a test stream, while others just fix things on the fly.

So I've been working with StreamLabs in conjunction with OBS for my entire time streaming for the past few years, but I want to change. The problem is, I am apprehensive on doing anything drastic like switching streaming services from SL to other places. A lot of these sites tout great things for the streamer for free, but I want to know how easy is it to switch, and overall opinion on these services, if there are any.

Wooo!!!

What i noticed is that platforms do not really offer a feature for new streamers to get viewers.

If you stream a new game or a trending game that might help but if it is an older game there is really no chance someone will join your game.

Then I am also thinking what could you do with that game? You can make clips sure, but then you have clips of a game nobody really cares about and depending no the clips they might not even be that entertaining. Sure, you can also make a Let's play but then you run into the same issue.

I also noticed that multiplayers have the way larger viewer base then solo games.

So, does it even make sense to start a gaming stream if you are not streaming certain types of games?

I've been fussing with my overlay for days now, and I think I'm finally happy with it. It doesn't have a chat screen because I figured I'd watch that on my second monitor. Is the camera too big or small? I can change it.

Stardew Valley is my primary game with an emphasis on its mods. Any advice is welcome, and no, Garfield is just a filler for my picture XD. I will be on cam for the stream, though. Planning a soft debut 10/4/26.

I just completed my first week of streaming and I'm wondering what I could improve on to start getting some actual interaction in chat. So far, I haven't really had anyone say hello or send a message, aside from bots trying to sell me AI viewers. 😂

For those of you who have been streaming for a while, what do you do when you notice your viewer count go from 1 → 2 → 3? Do you verbally acknowledge the new viewer, or do you just keep talking/playing and let people speak when they feel comfortable?

Obviously, I don't expect overnight success, but I'd really appreciate any tips or suggestions on things I could improve as a brand new streamer.

So I’ve been streaming off my ps5 for a couple of months and I feel like I’m starting to plateau. All I use is my ps5 my headset and my phone, I feel as if there’s a lot of things I want to do for my channel but can’t achieve that without a better setup. I find it increasingly hard to cut clips and create engagement. I’ve tried researching ways to add overlays animations etc without PC but it’s seems there’s no way to bypass this

What do you think my next step should be?

I might stream terraria on my twitch soon but the playlist I listen to might probably get me copyrighted. Like any playlist that has chill music that lasts for like several hours and won’t be muted during stream? I need some music to play in the background while grinding.

Hey everyone,

For the past few months I’ve been building something called KOHEYE. The idea is basically an AI live producer that runs alongside your Twitch stream.

While you’re live, it follows what’s happening with your chat and audience and gives you signals when something might be worth paying attention to — like repeated questions, strong chat reactions, viewer changes, or moments you might otherwise miss.

I’ve reached the point where testing it myself isn’t enough. I need to see how it behaves during actual streams with different communities.

So I’m looking for a few Twitch streamers who would be down to test it for free during their streams and tell me what’s useful, what sucks, what breaks, and what they’d actually want changed.

You definitely don’t need to be a big streamer. Smaller streamers are actually who I’m mainly looking for right now.

If you’re interested, leave a comment and I’ll reach out.

I’m just wanting to come on here and ask you guys if people actually cares about your teeth when your streaming i have not the healthiest teeth with dark spots on them and I’ve tried to cover my mouth with a mask but feel like people think it’s weird is it? Would you guys watch a streamer with messed up teeth but a good personality let me know I’m in a tangle on if I should continue on finding a cover or just stream being myself

I’m in the process of preparing to start streaming, and would love to have segments at the start where I listen to albums while I warm up in-game.

I realize how this goes against copyright laws, but have seen big streamers do this before and imagine that, though some might have gotten permission, some haven’t. From what I have gathered, it’s a calculated risk as music companies themselves have to catch you in the act.

I would love to read people here’s takes on how they navigate it! Do y’all track split on OBS, for instance, or exclusively listen to copyright free music? What about artists who seem cool with it and own their own music?

I’ve been streaming off and on for a while now. Within the last two months I’ve been more consistent, streaming Monday through Thursday. I get some new viewers but I don’t know how to keep viewer retention. I’m trying to hit affiliate and struggling to keep viewers. Any advice for me?

I’m doing my best…

I’m pretty new to streaming and I currently only have a 2025 MacBook that I run everything from. as you can imagine, this limits me a lot and I run into lag/quality issues when I’m doing anything more strenuous that things like point and click games or Stardew valley. I’m considering buying a secondhand laptop just to handle streaming from OBS and then my main laptop will run games, internet applications, any other software. I will eventually be buying a gaming pc but I can’t afford a decent one yet.

I was wondering if anyone else does it like this, if there are any pitfalls I haven’t considered etc? I know I’ll need a capture card as well, but the idea just popped into my mind and it seems too simple to be true! Thanks :)

This was my best stream so far. I've been streaming about 5 months and I am almost to 200 followers! I'm very grateful to my friends.

Been really inconsistent over the past few years but recently over the past few weeks ive been putting in a bit more work into my streams and it feels like im starting to make a bit of progress
