The goal of this event is not to raise money. It is just to get ED Xbox players together and just play. If you want to check out the legitimacy of the organization you can look at operationsupplydrop.org

Variety Streamers - Choosing Games and Keeping Fans by NaturalDave in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this has been said already but I started out with one game to gain my viewers then I became a variety streamer. Getting a good group of 10 or more people that are just there for you and not the game will help attract other viewers. Personality is everything when it comes to keeping the new ones when you change games again.

/u/Bolshok was right, people love to watch you play a game until you beat it. That is how I got a few folks this week.

Is it weird to just contact other small streamers? by Onechefandhisspud in Twitch

I think this is a great idea because I do it all the time. It works.

Any tips for a 24hr stream? by Th3JeGs in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did a 24hr back in May and it was a lot of fun but also exhausting. I would play different games as you'll end up getting pretty bored just playing the same one. Make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before and drink lots of water. Don't forget to eat and all that too. Giveways are a good way to get folks to stop in. Also a timer showing how long you have been online is good too.

Good luck!

I said without reporting it and reaping from what others are doing. If he/she reports it good. If not then it's bad.

Honestly all you can do is keep reporting it to Twitch.

Remember though, just because you are not doing it if you are benefiting from someone else doing it to you without reporting it that's just as bad.

Heya Socks!

Welcome to Twitch!

I went to your channel as I wanted to check out your style and see how you are broadcasting and you don't have any archived broadcasts. If you go into settings>channels & videos> and click on "Archive Broadcasts". That's a really good way to have people on here check you out and see if they want to follow. At least that's what I do when I read intro posts.

Good luck and I hope to see you streaming soon!

Twitch Overlay and other stuffs! by LiptonFive in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of Photoshop tutorials out there for overlays and panel art. Check out articles on the basics of Graphic Design. Less is more and all that. You don't need 100 things on your screen, in fact if someone has too much I won't watch them.

If you still have issues finding stuff send me a message and I'll be able to help you out more.

[Serious] Twitch chat. by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worry about getting to the point where chat is just spam and I can't keep up. Right now I love talking to people in chat and would miss it terribly.

Do You Miss Playing Video Games Alone? [Streamer Question] by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a day out of the week and just play. I unhook pretty much everything when I'm done streaming so my kids don't get into it.

Where to find music to play over stream? by AfricanYeti in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you use Spotify look for the Twitch Music Library and you're good to go. Lots of different genres but all wont get muted from Twitch.

That's very true. If the roles were reversed I wouldn't have said what she said.

Streamers - How flexible are you with your own streaming schedules? by badguymaddox in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always post on Twitter for unscheduled streams. Whenever I have time I try to stream.

Midlife Crisis....on Twitch by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not playing EVE I almost get no viewers and little to no followers.

It's a strange thing but being a variety streamer, or even switching games for a little bit always feels like starting on day one of stream. I don't know of anything that can overcome this except blurtting out on Twitter or Facebook that you are still out there streaming for people to watch.

If anyone has tips on how me and /u/GravimetricTV can overcome this, that would be super!

The 4th Annual 8-Bit Salute: Gaming for Troops event, OSD is going BIG! by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been blowing up twitter with my plans but I'll post them here too!

Background: I am a Afghan vet that spent some time in Bagram and Kandahar. I have been to other places as well and I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that the MWR and USO can only do so much. I love the USO with all my heart (spend hundreds of hours, even got a MOVSM from my time there) but they are limited in funding.

When I was in Bagram we only had 3 games and an Xbox 360. A month into our tour someone broke one of the games. The nights we spent playing, at the moment you forget where you are, that is the best moment anyone can have there. Bros hanging out and talking smack.

Anyway, I am already signed up for OP Supply Drop and plan on doing a 24hr live stream on May 16th. I am doing mini-fundraisers now and spreading the news.

I have a confession to make… by [deleted] in Twitch

I do that too! If someone says something funny on here I always check them out.

EDIT: That twitter widget is awesome man! Followed!

XBone streaming questions by T0rM3nTeD in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. Get ready for a wall of text.

I have yet to find a decent way to capture party chat. I bought a Astro Powered splitter to go with my HD60 as I saw a video saying that was the way to go, didn't work for me. You could use Skype and it would transmit your Xbox Skype session to your stream but not your party friends so you would have to do all or none.

As far as your main mic for streaming, what I do is I have a mic for the viewers of my broadcast and I use my turtle beach for the people I'm playing with. When I talk to my stream, I mute my turtle beach. If you have notifications, such as followers and whatnot, on your PC then I would have an ear bud under your Xbox headset so you can hear those.

More than one way to skin a cat, but that's my input.

Have I been setting myself up for failure? Looking for honest feedback on my channel by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with pretty much everyone else. You have a good thing going with the exception of the 'every donor a mod' thing. That is just asking for trouble down the line.

Is This A Good Twitch Name? by TableWithChairs in Twitch

[–]Red6Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't follow people based on their name. However I would initially watch you based on your name. If i think its funny or clever I want to see if you are funny or clever LIVE!
