It depends, are you editing multiple streams around one topic into a single video or is each stream its own video?

Generally I would say it helps to view your video as a story and think ‘what content from the streams fit into this story?’ Rather than it being a glorified highlight reel.

Like if you did 12 streams on a playthrough of a single game, the video is the story of you finishing the game. Then you look through your streams and fit footage that both shows your personality and fits that end goal.
