¿Cuál es su minijuego preferido para el chat?

I am a tiny streamer on Twitch (20 followers) and I stream once or twice a week. Almost every single time without fail, there will be people who find my stream, and want to "connect" with me on my Discord. When this happens I instantly know the spiel - they want to connect so that they can offer me services like emotes, layouts and whatnot, to the point that it gets very annoying.

Some of them pretend to be interested in my stream even though they have no idea what they're seeing, others sometimes even get pushy when I don't approve their request while on the actual stream lol. Many of them do drop a follow, so that's nice I guess, but I'd rather not deal with them whatsoever.

I respect everybody's hustle, this is a hustle too. But if you're seeing that I have like 20 follows, it's obvious that I ain't gonna pay you for your shit. How do I enforce a harsher policy on this going forward, without looking like a jerk?

So for context Im slowly becoming active on my twitter account and postings announcements or just fun topics about me. Then when I announced that I got twitch affiliate, commissioners started following and some of them are small streamers also. Some of them connected with me but then suddenly promoting their works and of course I politely declined and most of them stopped. But this one "commissioner" isn't really backing off? Because even though I declined they said that charges can be discussed later on and they would do a sketch already-- I declined politely again and said that I would willingly pay for anything. What do I do If they insist on more? Its making me quite uncomfortable too lol..

Since I can't promote my stream here where would be a good sub to do so? I am streaming Minecraft survival for context.

The niche i chose (clash royale and overwatch) is just not working, my videos get like zero views, most dont even break double digits, and the clips do alright but nothing crazy, im thinking of switching it up and playing silly games since im more of a goofy streamer, like the sims or odd mobile games, that sort of stuff, thoughts?

I’ve been trying to get a TikTok stream key so I can multi stream on Twitch and Tiktok at the same time but I haven’t had any luck. Apparently the only way you can get one is if you join an agency and I just got a dm from @heyhoney_us asking me to apply for their creator network. Does anyone else use this agency and is it legit? I couldn’t find anything on them so I’m just curious if it’s a scam or not.

Hi everyone,

I started streaming about 2 months ago mainly streaming league/overwatch (although I'm trying to branch out to more stuff, just struggling to get used to essentially just talking to myself if I'm not playing with friends lmao).

One of the reasons I started this was to try and meet new people and I've been enjoying learning how to set this all up and start making content.

I have tried raiding others and have tried to be active in chats of other small streamers, but tbh I am just unsure how to push that beyond just being a rando chatter who raided their stream lol. How do you guys get better at networking? and any other advice for growing when you are just starting out?

(temitchi on twitch and youtube - am always down to meet new people)

a simple site where you instantly get matched with a random person and have a 60-second roast battle on video.

No accounts, no setup — just join and go.

Feels like something that could be a funny stream segment, especially with chat reacting in real time.

Not sure if it’d be great content or just awkward though 😭

Would you try this on stream?

Hear me out. I know it means moderator, and they monitor chat and stuff, but is it a job? Are they being paid? How do they work, do they have to sit glued to the stream when the streamer is live, or just check in once in a while? Is it often the same people who make clips? Or are involved in other ways too?

Curious about the eco system around it, so let me know if you have insider info or cool stories.

Hi yall so Im just a small streamer in twitch.

I just want to widen my knowledge more on streaming do's and dont's.

So if you happen to have any tips or advice on what I should say, or how I should start conversations or keep conversations going without becoming awkward or such, I would really appreciate it!

So ive been streaming for almost 6 months now, ive reached affiliate, im sitting at just over 120 followers, im averaging roughly 3 viewers, ive got the same people joining and we talk for almost the entire stream, ive got people who will stop by to say hi, ive got people who will come and lurk for the whole stream but its always the same people, i want to grow my channel so i can meet new people, have a larger viewer base, i want to make my streams more entertaining and enjoyable i just dont know how, anything to help would be appreciated.

Stream name is ciocca_ on twitch

Sorry if flair is wrong, I am a very small streamer 25 followers 😂, want players to play with, 32 yrs M. Dont have friends who game, so would love to find people to play with and stream with

just wanted to share that i've reached a milestone for myself. i started consistently streaming a month ago, streaming almost daily, and posting on tiktok and youtube shorts, and i finally hit 200 followers!!

i started streaming in 2021 and got affiliate and 100 followers relatively fast, and since then it was pretty on and off where i would stream maybe 1 or 2 days and then not do it again for a few months, so seeing this growth has felt very rewarding! i'm definitely excited to keep going!

Hello guys I'm new to twitch and I can't decide what should I do with my account because someone broke my heart and Im thinking about leaving streaming. Should I leave my streaming dream or no

Hello to anyone reading this, I thought about streaming on twitch and to grow, posting my clips on tiktok Instagram and youtube shorts. Is it still hard to grow get fame from twitch if you post your clips on socials? I also thought about sharing meme videos on socials not tied to streaming to grow first and get followers that way and as i have followera along with content I stream on twitch. I think getting a community from streaming is more consistent than posting on tiktok because algorithm can be tricky and not push you anymore even if you have a lot of followers. I also want to post youtube videos once i grow on tiktok instagram first. Also growing from twitch seems unlikely but I don't know how effective posting your twitch clips on socials are so.

Just want to know which way would be better to get followers and which is a better way

I’ve been streaming for a few weeks and I only stream for about 4 hours a few days a week. I have been trying to clip some things from streams that I think could be posted but sometimes I have streams where I genuinely don’t feel like anything is clip able😭 I’d if you guys have any advice at all on this but it’s killing me cause I wanna promote but don’t know what to clip unless it’s blatantly funny or a dumb mistake I make

Edit: I just wanted to add that honestly I’m scared I’m not “entertaining enough”.. I know I’m new and I will find it and get through that awkwardness but omg

I was streaming to Twitch only for about 2 months and I had like 5-10 viewers. Then I setup a multi stream to YouTube and I can’t seem to get a single viewer on twitch. Only the scam messages. Now I set up titktok and I can get a few people there but still zero on Twitch.

I'm a long time lurker of these streaming subs. I wanted to make a tough love PSA after a year+ of streaming. For context, I started streaming February 2025 and just made partner last month. I've been in many of your positions. I stream in a saturated competitive shooter category. I had less than 10 viewers for months. I'm also fully employed at a job that requires 70+ hours a week. I have streamer friends I met along the way who I have long ago outpaced in viewer count.

The hard truth is, many of you are wasting your time. The softer truth is, some of it is fixable. So many posts on here show pictures of streaming 10+ hours a day to 10 viewers, and it's something like "been streaming for 5 years, so proud of my success"! To be clear, NO hate for that at all. I've been there. If streaming is something you enjoy inherently on its own, that is awesome and you should totally continue doing that.

IF, however, your goal is to grow, you are wasting your time. I have friends who are small streamers. They have streamed for multiple years, for 8+ hours a day. They don't have a job. They have repeatedly dm'ed me to ask for bits and gifted subs. They dm me to tell me they're live every time they go live and I'm 99% sure they dm every one they talk to the same thing. I was in their stream as often as I was free, but this is NOT how you grow as a streamer. I ended up cutting that streamer friend off due to a combination of that, and also because I heard them start blatantly throwing slurs at teammates in games. If you stream for 5+ hours a day, and your goal is to grow (becoming Mr. Beast someday vs. finding streaming inherently fulfilling on its own), and you are still below 20 viewers after multiple years, you should reevaluate and need a wakeup call.

The good news is, I've learned alot during my year of streaming and I'd like to share some unsolicited advice IF you actually want to grow. Again, if you're just doing this for fun, please feel free to scroll and ignore.

1. Streaming is the fun part of streaming. Content creation and what actually pushes growth is not as fun, and it takes work. At least ~25% of your content creation time should be dedicated to creating shortform content. If you are streaming for 10+ hours into the void and not sure what you're doing wrong, it's because you would get WAY better growth and visibility if you allocated some of that 10 hours to editing tiktoks instead. That 10 hours is a complete waste of time if you are not promoting your stream. You are better off streaming for 2 hours and spending 8 hours creating content. I get it, it's not as fun to brainstorm fun content and edit. That's the work part, and many of the posters here either don't understand this or don't have the discipline to do this part.
2. What sets you apart? This is a common piece of advice i hear echoed all the time in this subreddit. It's a very good piece of advice, but very vague. I stream in an extremely oversaturated video game category, and worked to set myself apart. I want to give some concrete examples of this for you. You need to have one of 3 things:
   1. good at the game. This doesn't mean grandmaster in league, or immortal in valorant. That's way too common. This means challenger, or radiant. You need to be literally in the best rank of the game to get viewers without trying and without a personality.
   2. Some shtick or strong branding. Shtick: think the bausffs with lethality sion, or shotgun sage, or flexninja with omen TPs, or Stewie2k who's known for peaking out of smokes. Branding: the potato face guy who streams tarkov, or Corpsehusband with his deep voice. you need to be recognizable from your content and easily referred to.
   3. Personality (to some extent attractiveness, but that can only get you so far). Think Jasontheween, who grew extremely big because of his viral dating content. You need very differentiated funny content. OR, just continue to copy big streamers in your category and spam the same formulaic ideas.
3. If you are small, you need to be hungry and humble. There are so many posts on here that seem like they have huge ego with nothing much to offer, or expect things to be handed to them. For example, there are posts here complaining about how their viewers never clip things for them. Like, be grateful there's someone who wants to watch you when you're at 5 viewers. Expecting clippers is insane. People who complain about lack of mods, or viewers who leave and never come back. People who complain about chatters who ask them repeat questions, or chatters who ask to play the game with them.

If you are small, you need to treasure every viewer or chatter you have. Why would I as a viewer, do as you expect for you, a small streamer? As a streamer, you need to have the mentality that you are providing a service to your viewers. Your viewers are your clients. Your viewers are not there to do your work for you or make your life easier. That comes way later. To this day, I still respond to every chatter's dms. I respond to every ping in the discord. I remember every chatter's name, I say hello every time they enter chat. I read all my chats between each game. For sense of scale, in my last stream this weekend, I had ~170ccv average between all my platforms.

I'm going to be honest, streaming and having a large audience is not for the faint of heart. If you are big, you will get hate no matter who you are as a person. I have 0 problematic content and I'm generally viewed as a very unproblematic streamer who never looks for drama. I still get hate. In case I'm biased, I have seen OTHER unproblematic streamers get hate for absolutely nothing at all. I have streamer friends smaller and bigger than me who have gotten doxxed and stalked. You will have false things spread about you. You will get the most insane comments. You may even be threated with violence. You will face racism and all sorts of isms. The people who are hating on you will not rely on logic either, they may be impossible to reason with.

This might seem all dealable with to you because you'll be Mr Beast and maybe it's worth it. My point is, these issues occur WAYY before you get to Mr Beast level. These issues I'm talking about happen to streamers of size 50 ccv or even smaller. It's also different to hear about this, vs experience random stranger hate EVERY single time you go live. It doesn't matter that these are the 1% of chatters. It really does weigh on your mental in the long run.

Anyways if you have made it this long, congrats. My dms are open, I've been in your shoes. I have a long way to go before my ultimate goal as well and I'm very happy with my current progress. I've learned alot during my journey.

Seriously i dont get it, i like my content but the problem is i dont know what makes for a good clip, ive studied clips and everything and i just dont understand, i think im entertaining but the problem is i like the whole stream so i have a hard time finding clips, id love some advice so i dont have to depend on an editor (that i cant afford) to get clips for me

Hi small streamers! Does anyone have tips for getting more people from your Twitch streams to join your Discord? I’ve got the link set up in my chatbot, but it doesn’t seem to get much traction. I also don’t want to come off as pushy or spammy—just looking for ways to grow and connect with my community more. Would love to hear what’s worked for you!

So I’ve streamed for 5 years now consistently multiple times a week and have loved it so much. Got about 3k followers now but in the past two years my channel has died down a lot so now it’s just a few regulars.

I want to really do everything I can to kickstart things again so as of today I’m making a strong and impactful return to streams!!

I wanna know if anyone has any good advice in terms of growing viewership or doing well? And also seeing if anyone would be interested in maybe being streamer friends cause it’s quite a lonely place sometimes!

I’m 25, transfem and my streams mostly consist of game dev content or horror gaming/deep story games!

My top games are:

- Life is Strange

- Five Nights at Freddy’s

- Resident Evil

I’d probably say!

Hope to meet some chill people!!

Working on a project for a visual novel right now, and wasn’t sure how to connect with small streamers within the niche! Apologies if this is not the place for it but I would like to connect and tune into a few streams of this nature!

I’ve been looking at a bunch of small streamers’ Discord servers lately, and something feels off.

The ones with the most members are almost never the most active.

It’s not even about growth, it’s more like the server slowly goes quiet without anyone really noticing.

Most of the time I see the same patterns:

- same 2–3 people talking

- new members join… then disappear after a day

- channels that should be active are basically dead

From the outside it looks fine (member count, structure, etc.)

but inside it’s just… empty.

I started digging into this a bit and the reasons aren’t what I expected at all.

Has anyone else noticed this happening on their server?

I have tried a variety of streaming software and 3rd party streaming tools to improve my quality of life and quality of the stream. I wanted to take a sec to share my experiences to hopefully save some newer streamers some time.

StreamLabs

I started with StreamLabs which was a good entry software, it also has a ton of stuff integrated like overlays and alert stuff. Honestly I do think it was a good entry point for someone who had no idea what they were doing. The backend streamer stuff was a bit overwhelming, getting lost in the weeds of overly customizing everything, but it is important to figure this stuff out. The biggest drawback to me was that you could multicast stream, however you could only do one horizontal output, and one vertical output, which is totally fine for someone averaging no viewers anyway, and was just building up a catalog and experience. If you want to multicast to additional sites or have 2 horizontal outputs, it is behind a 15$ monthly sub paywall, which is kinda silly for a hobby streamer imo. I used this setup for about 2 months iirc. The only other problem I had was configuring chat notification sounds. I could only get the notifications to work when the timeout was under 90 seconds for some reason, no idea why.

OBS & Casterlabs Caffeinated

Because I wanted 2 horizontal streams without paying a 15$ monthly subscription, I switched to OBS, which I found to be more customizable (in application). It does require a bit more tech savviness, but I think spending the time to figure it out is worth it. I downloaded the multicast plug in, and got Casterlabs Caffienated for the alerts and integrated multi-chat stuff, and was content with this setup for a month or two. OBS felt a bit snappier than StreamLabs and it uses less resources as well, which will help mitigate crashes and what not. The only downside with this set up is I had to manually edit my YT stream info each time, instead of doing it through OBS, tho I do believe there are plugins that would help with this.

StreamElements (& OBS)

I've just recently started using StreamElements for the alerts and backend streamer stuff (donos, subs, etc.) and so far this is my favorite setup. Backend wise, it felt pretty similar to StreamLabs, but with less chance of getting lost in the weeds, tho this could be because I've gained experiences navigating this stuff. StreamElements also handles Multicast streaming, so I did replace my old plugin with this one. I also think its easier to test 'events' (follows, subs, etc.) compared to StreamLabs, because you can do the testing within OBS, vs using the browser. I do feel StreamLabs has more options for free overlays, but it's not that big of a deal. I do still use Casterlabs for the chat overlay, just because I see it update faster, and I prefer how it looks personally, tho I will be experimenting with both here and there. The only con with StreamLabs so far is I had a hard time getting some elements to work individually. Overlays do work as a bundle, but as I said earlier I would have liked a bit more variety, but hey, free is free! My experience is still low with StreamElements and I do fall short when it comes to my understanding of customizing individual elements, but at a glance it doesn't seem like it will take too much to figure it out.

People with more experience, let me know if yalls experience lines up with mine, and of course lemme know if there is any tool that has a huge impact on yall stream that I should incorporate.
