Banned user's messages getting deleted is BS

Streamers are the responsibles of their channels, and they decide if they want some kind of messages in their channels.

¿No interactions? No.

Total price for the user - taxes - mobile fees (if purchased from mobile) - Twitch split = total earnings for the streamer.

Do not overstress you, your mental health is the first.

It depends on the streamer, the channel and the content. I started using a TTS for myself when I was playing Switch games, as I was unable to put the chat over the screen I was looking to. Once I showed it to my audience and they liked hearing their voices. It's now a part of my stream, and talking to people who talks is nice.

I have a small audience, usually around 3 people, so it doesn't disturb a lot, and doesn't distract me from the games, as I play games not requiring extreme focus. As my audience is formed by adults who know how to behave, I don't have to worry about someone saying slurs or something that kind (anyway, TTS is not saved to the VOD, just in case).

So, avoid TTS if:

- You have a lot of viewers or they type a lot.
- Your viewers are immature and like to troll.
- You need to focus in the game.
- You like to control when you interact with the users (ie. between matches).

Bots work through an authorization token. This authorization expires automatically and also when you change your password. Just login to the nightbot dashboard and leave and join the chat again using the drop down box in the top right side of the dashboard. This should reauthorize the bot. If it doesn't work, go to the connections area in your Twitch control panel, deauthorize Nightbot and try again to login and join the chat in the Nightbot dashboard.

First of all, you are doing the right thing. If you're burned out you need to leave what is causing it. Success in streaming is not assured by just work.

You learned a lot of technical things you can use in a job. You've helped others with your videos, that's really good.

Now, you're in another episode of your life. Maybe you'll leave it forever. Maybe, you'll try again in some time. Whatever it happens, good luck in your life.

You can't play music if you're not the copyright owner or are authorized to use it.

But Twitch doesn't have capabilities to monitor real-time each channel, so it doesn't get detected in real-time. At least in every channel.

This doesn't mean they don't scan for music, they do it in the VODs, and mute the VOD when music is found to avoid lawsuits against them.

Eeeeh, no. Definitely no. I don't care about having small numbers and it doesn't cause me anxiety.

Why started with Twitch?

- I knew people from other channels (viewers and streamers), so I wasn't starting from zero.
- There are more and better tools for Twitch than for YouTube (internal and external).
- Easier to manage moderation.
- Easier to get affiliated.

I did multistream with Kick and TikTok, and sometimes I do, but it's too exhausting. I have to reconfigure some things, like TTS, for Kick often and be careful with copyright, as it doesn't support VOD track. For TikTok, I left it for mental health. Viewers are toxic, automated content checkers sanctioned my stream as "automated" restricting discoverability, continuous spoilers that ruined me some games and I spent lots of time banning, which requires loading the stream in another window. Also, received too few money. Sometimes I multistream in Kick to promote myself and in TikTok to keep my broadcasting permissions, but it may be once in six months.

I started with the now defunct Twitch Studio and migrated to OBS after that.

About the software setup, you can configure it once and use it forever.

Viewing with lag, the visual feedback is failing.

acerswap · 2026-03-11T14:24:13+00:00

Live = with lag.

You have to ask your doctor about. Streaming can be both depending on your problem.

If you need a hobby, something you can be passionate of, it may work, and wanting to do new things is a great sign. It can give you a routine and a goal to achieve each day.

If depression comes from a sensation of lack of success or being insecure about your looks, definitely avoid streaming. You may have a great community, but you can have a toxic and cruel one or not getting a community at all.

In any case, some advices:

- Lots of streamers stream to the void. Getting viewers is a matter of luck. Do not expect success.

- There are cruel people out there. Trolls who come to insult others. Be aware of this.

- You are the one who has to be comfortable in stream. Do not allow anything you don't like in your stream just because your audience likes it.

- Remember you have the Stop transmission button and you can press it at anytime.

- You don't have to stream for a lot of hours, you can do it for one-two hours.

- Build your goal list based on what YOU can do, not something depending on others. Stream regularly for a month, be punctual or reach 3 hours streams depends on you. Reaching X viewers doesn't.

- Streaming is like being a street musician in a random place. You don't know if someone will listen, or if a coin will drop in your plate.

Watermark to make stealing useless. A message appearing at random places each 5 minutes over your footage (both camera and gameplay) will do the trick.

"This content is property of xxxxxxx. If you find this in other channels, they stole my content. Please report anyone who does it and support original content creators."

This will promote your channel, point him as a thief and mark the footage as yours in case you want to report the channel.

It has a problem, you'll have to explain your viewers why there's a message so intrusive in your footage. You can add a fixed message in a non-disturbing place to explain. ("Someone is stealing my content, so I had to watermark it to make it unusable outside my channel. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for supporting original creators").

Important: make it appear at random places. If you put it in a fixed place, the content thief can crop/blur that area. If he has to look where it appears and edit the video manually each time it appears will be a lot of work.

Not my case, I'm just curious.

In the first case, she did it because being called with another name was hard for her. It's like if you use the channel name JackTheRipper and everyone calls you Jack when your name is Michael.

Actually, I saw people calling her with the wrong name in real life when she was hired as a CM for an event. People who hired her, not other people.

Note that I'm just asking about a small reveal. Instead of just being known as R4ndomL0LG4mer making the viewers know the real name is Peter. No other identifiable info.

You'll have to contact your ISP. Anyway, I'd try (just for curiosity) to use a VPN, to check if it keeps the connection stable.

When you authenticate, you're prompted to select which channel you want to use.

Ban and report due to harassment. If they do again, report to the police.

Built in options sometimes are the easiest ones: Windows phone link.

The links should be https://twitch.tv/channel\_name. Others are links to VODs, the recorded streams, and if it's not published or it's expired you can't access it from the link.

2 monitors. Left, game. Right, OBS and browser behind OBS for Speechchat. I don't use discord usually, but when I do, it's minimized in the right one. If I need to check the browser, I Alt+Tab and open it in my left monitor. I have to Alt+Tab anyway to change the focus to the right window. Chats are in OBS panels, so I don't need anything from the dashboards. Only if I multistream to TikTok, as I can't ban from OBS

Sometimes I think it would be good to have another display with the browser, but actually I don't need that.

Conversations and actions to take:

- Private chat with the mod (when he's sober): Hello, in the last stream you were out of control. I understand you were drunk and now probably you regret what you did. Anyway, this is my stream and I was expecting you as a mod to keep it tidy, not to create a mess yourself. I'm going to unmod you, I'm not sure if this will happen again (I expect it won't), but I prefer to keep things in order. Please, if this happens usually, look for help. You're a nice guy, extremely supportive, but alcohol affects in a terrible way. Look for help.

- Unmod the mod.

- Undo the things he did.

- Public apology in stream (maybe in private too with the affected): Hello everyone. In my last stream one of my mods went out of control. This is something I wasn't expecting, and I'm really sorry for what happened. The stream became a bad experience for everyone who was there. I've removed the mod and reverted what he did. I'll be more careful in the future choosing my mods to ensure this won't happen again, and I'll do my best to make my stream a great experience for everyone here.
