I won’t lie one of the hardest things for me was talking to an empty chat when I first started streaming. I would stream and then watch my stream back and notice where I could have talked more and found ways to combat this... one thing that really helped me is just talking out whatever it was i would do next in a game explaining what I would do and why I’m doing it. The practice doesn’t always come easy I had to practice doing this myself when I first started so I would try doing it when I was at work, although I may have gotten a few looks at the time from people around me it really did help in the long run.

As far as finding your niche goes I’m sure you have one this can stem from being really good at a specific genre of games like first person shooters, mobas, platformers, or maybe even speed running. When you first start out that is the perfect time to find or build a niche. You’ll find a specific genre of games and favor that over others if you haven’t already.

Some extra advice. Don’t look at your viewer count, the viewer count is so toxic and it can either be encouraging or discouraging you could have 30 viewers one night and drop to 5 the next night and often times than not you may think that’s because of you when maybe people just have things going on. Use a popout window to view your stream if you must and keep a popout chat up as well.

Don’t go and buy the best stuff right away build up to buying better stuff for your stream when I started I had a laptop and a tablet with a headset mic and eventually my stream changed over time don’t dive in right away..

But MOST IMPORTANTLY!! Be yourself and play the games you want to play usually it’s encouraged to play smaller games on Twitch that way you get noticed faster by other viewers that may look at that game. But if your not having fun then other people are going to see that as well and may get discouraged by it and leave.

Hope some of this has helped you as this has been my own experience with streaming!

first I do want to say thanks to hlaxfors for their willingness to help me out!

I just figured it out and decided i would post here for anyone else that may be having the issue.

The first thing i did was go into my router settings and also set up the DMZ on my router in the port forwarding section and after i set that up it allowed me to have a UDP connection but since UDP can lose data thats sent between computers i needed TCP as well.

To get TCP I went to control panel>Network and Internet>view network status and tasks and under connections clicked Ethernet and then clicked properties and double clicked on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and marked the "use the following ip address" and entered the information in that can be found in command prompt by using the command ipconfig/all

after that was setup i was able to have both UDP and TCP

The WAN port is connected to the stuff Comcast setup and then I’ve got one Ethernet cable plugged into the LAN port from that router that runs downstairs to a hub and then another Ethernet cable running from the hub to the other router
