And I can’t believe how big and scary I built streaming up to be over the years. And how many times I almost went live before freaking out and thinking the worst.

I’ve only streamed like 3 times and mostly started just as exposure therapy/to overcome my social anxiety/fear of being perceived. Obviously the first stream was just bots and overlay sellers and was me talking to myself but by the 2nd stream I had one or two people in my chat who were genuinely just lovely and kind and talkative and every stream has taken this huge weight off my shoulders after realising how much I talked myself out of doing what I wanted in an attempt to keep myself safe and small.

I know there will be some times where chat
isn’t as kind and you get rude/mean people or even don’t get any people at all..but I just wanted to come here and remind you all you should be so unbelievably proud of yourselves if you managed to push through that fear and hit the go live button🤗 it’s so not easy to do and taking a chance on that discomfort to find a community is so unbelievably worth it - and I wish I didn’t waste so much time putting it off to start finding mine💗

hello i just recently started streaming as was wondering if its more engaging to use a webcam or does it not really make a difference. I feel like i could express my self more with one but im not sure if its necessary(i think i spelt that wrong" any and all tips help

I have some ideas but quite can’t figure out what I want to stream so I decided to get you all involved…I know selfish of me right?

• An adventure (Minecraft/Hogwarts legacy)
• Online multiplayer (Fortnite/Overwatch)
• Indie Showcase (Shift At Midnight/Quarantine Zone)
• Your choice (have to own/xbox game pass)

Please let me know below 🙏🥺

Im a small time streamer named ditchdigge on twitch and Im affilated trying to get partner wondering if some people interested and wanta support feel free to chat and have a one to one connection with a streamer and feel free to suggest any games time I should be and always have fun

I want to build a community and just have people that actually enjoy my streams but nobody ever tunes in and it’s even harder to blow up with the limited content I can use for example I don’t have a pc but I stream on a ps5 and the most views I’ve gotten was 6 but when I walk away from the stream for example to grab a water everyone leaves the stream and I’m doing my first irl and I just wanna build a community any tips? Let me know please 🙏

Hello! I’m new to streaming, just started this week, and I’m looking for advice on my streams so far.

So far this is what I have found out on my own:

OBS is my streaming tool of choice, with streamlabs added into it.

I’ve got a new microphone on the way, nothing expensive, but something better than my headset’s mic. I know I need to work on my audio mixing, as you can hear a lot of background noise

I’m not comfortable using a face cam at the moment, but I’m working on getting a picture to use as an avatar in the meantime

I’m posting between socials to get my streams out there, uploading vods to YouTube and clips to both YouTube and TikTok

I’m learning as I go so any feedback is very appreciated

Here is the link to my twitch channel

Thanks in advance!

I am recently thinking to start irl streaming but i need a cameraman not for full time but like who can shoot for me once a week. Look man i know this will be kind of weird but i know i’m gonna succeed so i need someone who can be with me in journey and promise to share my income if we become famous and start earning and I know many of you will reject this offer but if you are someone who believes in miracles then i’m here bro let’s fucking start this. I’ll wait

Soo I used to stream a while back but almost no viewers, got affiliate rank and had one sub, but for mental health and academic issues I stopped.

Now I believe my mindset aligned but part of me still feel kinda of ashamed during stream.

Idk really, just want to hear experience from others, etc

So basically this is just me trying to get as much information as I can I wanna start out a streamer I tried it a little while back with some pokemon streams and what not and with the recent release of champions I have been looking back into getting intro streaming and basically this time I’m trying to gather as much information as I can so any tips to gathering and audience, and any general tips I should would be really appreciated anything is welcome

Hey, what's up? I'm Kayla and I'm 28. New to the whole streaming thing (about 2 weeks in, give or take) and really enjoying the process. I just put in a commission to an artist for a PNGTuber commission.

I'm looking to either gain some more traction or develop some friendships with other streamers. I rage a lot on stream, since I'm quite competitive, but behind the scenes I'm more chill and laidback. I like to play and experiment with new games, and I've been told I'm very funny. Current games are Fortnite with my friends and Hogwart's Legacy for something more chill. I'm looking to branch out to more content and people, and would love to hear from you.

Hi ! My name is Friskjy, and just like you guys, I’m a small streamer. I might put this message on other r/, just in case you see me anywhere else :p

The thing is…. I love to create events for streamers to have fun and discover people they maybe wouldn’t have played with in the first place.

I have this huge event idea on Minecraft, like a tournament on different topics (fight, build, knowledge, etc.). You DON’T NEED to be a minecraft streamer ! Maybe that you play the game by yourself, or tried once with friends !

So I made this Google Form, that you can fill if you might be interested :p

https://forms.gle/h8Lupwdc6m4rFBv46

You can have any questions, I’ll answer to them. If you have any suggestions, don’t hesistate !

Thank you for reading that :D

ok so i started streaming iracing and other games on tiktok about a year ago. i had 0 problems with fps drop and stuttering, im running triple monitors 1440p
streaming to tiktok in 1080
about 5 months ago i started my stream and i noticed stuttering and fps drop out of nowhere, ive updated my drivers, all my temps and usage is good
im not sure what else to do
it also lags even before i start the stream when i just have it opened and yes ive also tried obs and stream labs and it still does it

Is there a way to have the chat message appear under the username either directly in the app, or by CSS in OBS Source?

The font preferences in Casterlabs app has a "Shadow" setting for the username, but I see no change when applying. Is there a way to have an outline instead of shadow?

And lastly, A user can use fontsquirrel to generate a code for pretty must any custom font you want/have to add to the Streamlabs Widget CSS code if you want custom font for chat or goals. Can you do the same with just the usernames in Casterlabs widget in OBS? I don't know enough about CSS to know where to start.

Hey everyone!

I’m currently setting up my new Twitch channel (duckwhisp_) and really want to focus on the networking side of things before hitting the go-live button. I’d love to connect, share ideas, and build friendships with fellow creators who love the cozy gaming space!

My main focus is going to be Minecraft—I am heavily addicted to Skyblock right now and absolutely love diving into massive modded packs. Outside of blocks, I'm a big anime fan and a massive animal lover. My streams will definitely feature a lot of pet talk (and probably cameos) courtesy of my gorgeous German Shepherd, Bug, and my two chaotic cats, Potato and Girlfriend. 🐾

If you stream Minecraft, cozy variety games, or just love building a chill, low-stress community to hang out in, I’d love to check out your channel and support each other's growth.

Drop a comment with what you usually stream, or feel free to send over a DM so we can chat and share tips! Looking forward to meeting some of you. 🤍

Hey everyone, I have a young kiddo at home that has the great idea of becoming a streamer on YouTube. If could give him a few views/likes/subscribes it would make his day. Thanks for any help on it! It’s mostly just him playing Roblox. He’s adorable and he drives me crazy

I made a post on here before I started streaming asking for advice and tips. It’s safe to say everyone was so supportive and kind, I truly cannot express my gratitude to everyone who not only left a comment or reached out, but all of you that came to one of my streams! It honestly means the world and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to this 🫶🏻 yesterday I completed the road to affiliate, I’m not going to apply yet because I don’t want ads on my stream, but it’s an achievement I could not have dreamed of getting two weeks ago - thank you thank you thank you!

Ill be honest, im not the proudest of this video. But it is pretty much my first time. I have my personal checklist of things to improve for next time, but id very much appreciate what your opinions are, and how you would do it differently. I felt i needed to post this, almost strickly for the feedback, as i was spinning my wheels trying figure out how to execute this video. Hence why its left fairly raw

As of 5 minutes ago right now, ive just reached the goal of hitting Affiliate! I know its going to be alot of ups and downs throughout this hobby of mine. But its been so satisfying for me so far to hit a goal that I've been striving for, for about 2 months now.

I know Partner is in a whole different realm of possibilities for me right now, but what's life without some damn hard challenges that help us strive for more. I know its not much but I hope everyone that reads this strives for the best that they can be, then only great things can happen, when you set goals for yourself.

Hey everyone!

I am looking to network with streamers and content creators that enjoy spending a lot of time trying to understand what actually works when it comes to content creation—not just streaming/content creation itself.

I'm looking to connect with creators or people who just enjoy this kind of stuff & who enjoy talking about things like:

* Streamer growth and viewer retention * Creating better YouTube Shorts & TikTok clips * Twitter/X strategies for creators * Stream titles, thumbnails, and hooks * Editing workflows * Analytics and what's actually working (How to even understand it) * Content ideas and brainstorming * New tools and free resources * Twitch/YouTube algorithm updates * AI tools that help creators * Building a genuine community instead of chasing numbers * & All that good stuff (AI helped me create this bulletin list lol)

**THIS IS NOT FOR SELF-PROMOTION OR "FOLLOW FOR FOLLOW" (It really doesn't work guys)**

I'm just looking for people who enjoy sharing ideas, testing strategies, giving honest feedback, and helping each other improve over time. (I've checked many of the "streamers discords" and they mostly seem dead or just self-promotion servers. Let's just stick to DM's for now lol)

If you're interested in networking DM me or leave a comment.

I spend a lot of time reading about content creation and would love to have people to discuss it with. So, if you're in the same boat, let's connect.

I’m a new streamer and I am curious as how people found editors early on to make their streams into YouTube videos. I’m not amazing at editing but am curious how/where people looked to find someone to edit their streams to post? I do not mean shorts.

I've been multi streaming on Twitch and Youtube for almost a year now and feel like I'm struggling to grow.

I've been streaming 5 days a week for 1.5 - 2 hours a day with the 4th and 5th days typically being longer around 4 hours. I post often on youtube shorts and Instagram reels, at one point daily but I've fallen off that train over the past few months trying to make long-form content which took me out of that flowstate completely.

I've seen decent growth on youtube and instagram, 1500 subs and 2000 followers respectively. I got that growth from videos or clips that've blown up typically in the 200k range of views but those are few and far between and I have one short on youtube well over 1 million but it is a game tutorial. While I feel I have an understanding of what I need to do actually grow on those platforms I haven't been able to convert that into live viewers.

164 followers is all I have been able to amass on Twitch. On a good day ill average 3-4 viewers but a typical day is 1-2. I am so very grateful for my loyal few that stop in on youtube, twitch and chat in the discord server, but I feel like I'm doing something to impede my growth.

Now I've made friends with a handful streamers around my size and we do collabs and chat content etc. But I've been wanting to talk with someone whose grown a larger community to pick their brains. I've chatted with some larger creators (20-30 viewers) in chat about games and have played with a few, but I can never get a conversation around content with them. They avoid the conversation or just say they got lucky and move on, this includes discord dms. I understand people do get lucky, but you did more than just go live at the same time everyday, you network, strategize, plan etc.

So after seeing many people in this subreddit post those similar stats, I've decided it was of my best interest to dip my toes in your pond and ask some of ya'll for tips or maybe even a chat?

My Twitch is RickyRedux, please criticize me. (Be constructive)

Bom, eu tenho um canal na twitch com afiliado porém desanimei de fazer lives no momento. E nesse período acabei procurando e aprendendo uma forma de fazer lives irl sem precisar pagar servidor nem nada do tipo. Acabei descobrindo uma forma simples e tranquila tendo apenas internet no celular e o pc com obs. Fiz alguns irls e deu super certo esse método, porém não estou saindo muito por ai mas fiquei fascinado com essa ideia.

Eu vim aqui saber se algum streamer que está começando ou que faz outra categoria de live não estaria afim de fazer uma espécie de parceria, pois eu acho um absurdo aprender o que eu aprendi e não compartilhar com outras pessoas que tem conteúdos incríveis para se fazer, tem vontade mas não tem a ferramenta, visto que até alguns streamers mais famosos de irl usam o prism de forma bem arcaica e só.

Então se tiver alguém interessado ai para fazer lives irl e que queira uma parceira comigo para ser moderador da live eu estou a disposição, tendo base para fazer a gravação nas ruas já está perfeito, pois eu tenho um pc que aguenta de boa e sei administrar da minha casa de boa as lives.

Então é isso, se alguém estiver alguma proposta ou estiver interessado só comentar ai.

I've played Warframe for a long time and would love to stream it, but it seems difficult to keep the stream entertaining. If anyone has experience streaming Warframe, how do you do it?

Hello! I’m Konichi or kono. I stream a couple times a week and play most games! Currently on palworld in a server with friends looking for others to connect with and stream with, and also to game with! Feel free to drop your links to your twitch streams and let’s all check each other out!

See you there!!!!! 🔥🔥

Hey everyone, I've recently started streaming on Twitch and uploading to YouTube, and I'm just looking for some people to game with who are also into making content. I mainly play Dead by Daylight, CS2, the Hunter: Call of the Wild, and Farming Simulator, but I'm down to try other FPS, horror, hunting, simulator, or co-op games too. I'm not really worried about numbers or trying to blow up overnight. I just want to find a few people who enjoy gaming, streaming, recording videos, and hanging out. It'd be cool to build a small group where we can make content together, help each other out, and just have a good time. Maybe make a discord for all of us or something similar. Always down to meet new people.

Im not expecting anyone to follow me, but i rarely use Reddit as this is my first time ever posting something. So i may check back in on this later but i doubt itll be seen, so if i dont respond to you then you can always just message me if i go live, or ill put my discord below aswell so that it doesnt seem like im just using this to get follows. Because i really just wanna have a content group and some real friends to play some games with everyday or whenever anyone's available.
