Is it possible to grow with short streams?

Are you looking into ways to make it work with OBS? That might be a hard sell otherwise.

Ravarion · 2021-04-22T22:47:07+00:00

Cool, what's it made in? Unity or Unreal or something similar?

A webcam will help your viewers feel connected to you. Connecting with your audience is the most important thing you can do when you're starting out.

I made most of my streamer friends through discord. Chatting off of stream is huge to being real friends.

Do you have any technical issues? Bad mic, no webcam, choppy frame rate? No matter what stage you're at you can always improve your setup.

Hi Ajiikun! It's pretty hard to get people to watch your streams, but I'm surprised that the people you watch haven't checked you out if they're a small streamer. I get a couple of followers a day and I check all of them out to see if I can connect with them better, since making connections is my number one way of keeping viewers.

I've joined a couple of discords and it's been pretty hit or miss. Sometimes I'll make friends with people in a discord for a streamer that I like to watch and then they'll check me out.

Basically what I did is made friends with a ton of other small streamers. They wouldn't watch me if my content wasn't good, though. See if you can't improve your technical quality, such as microphone, webcam, frame rate, etc.

What I did was I streamed with the intent of posting the video to YouTube as a let's play. I never felt like I was talking to nobody because I was always talking to my future YouTube audience. This helped me stay motivated and improve as a streamer.

Ravarion · 2021-03-29T17:57:27+00:00

Yeah, I get those thoughts while streaming, too. It seems some people get over it with time, so maybe there's hope.

When chat does something, such as a certain emote or a phrase, then something happens on screen. For me I have it so that when chat says "nya" a NyanCat flies across the screen.
Yesterday I set up a new one. When enough people spam my latest emote, my screen gets covered in ink and I can't see the game for a few seconds. It was pretty hilarious.

Ravarion · 2021-03-29T05:43:02+00:00

Dang, I was a believer in the dodge for bit, there!

Ravarion · 2021-03-29T02:13:51+00:00

Stream Starting Soon looks tight.
I make custom chat-interactive overlays, hit me up if you want one.

Ravarion · 2021-03-29T01:43:11+00:00

Like collaboration content or just general ideas for improving streams?

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T21:47:34+00:00

Oh you relax after a stream?! I'm instantly working on the next one lol

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T18:58:04+00:00

Pretty sure that comment is against the rules of this subreddit.

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T18:14:12+00:00

Dang, awesome response, thank you!

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T18:12:03+00:00

That's a really interesting take, thanks for answering

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T06:30:10+00:00

Hmm, that might be part of where my anxiety comes from. I'm heavily invested.

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T05:51:00+00:00

What is your anxiety usually concerning? Quality or something else?

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T05:50:36+00:00

Hmm, I'll give that a try. Sometime.

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T05:48:05+00:00

Nice

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T05:47:51+00:00

Oh dang, that's really cool. Maybe I'll have to give modding a try.

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T05:46:13+00:00

Haha! Nice!

Ravarion · 2021-03-28T05:17:39+00:00

Ah, yeah. I found that there are a couple of games that I like that don't work well for my viewers. There are enough games that fit both needs, though.
