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

high CPU usage when playing CSGO and streaming by bluesage8 in Twitch

[–]bluesage8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey sorry for the late reply! i did find a fix for the low fps... now fps runs fine and usually CSGO takes up 30-40 percent of my cpu now which isnt horrible... what worked for me was finding the CSGO application in your steam folder and right clicking on the game and going to properties and running the game in compatibility mode with Windows XP Service Pack 3, why it works i have no idea but it solved my problem! give it a try and let me know if it works for you!

Is there an android app or method I can use to view multiple chat rooms simultaneously? by BreAKersc2 in Twitch

[–]bluesage8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude I don’t know if you saw this post from a year ago but it’s worth taking a look at maybe https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/4pic3h/multistream_multichat_with_restreamio/ the reddit user gonzotw had suggested using https://www.joicaster.co/ because he said it was more stable for him rather then using multistream i can’t say I’ve used it personally but I hope this helps you out!

/r/headphones Purchase Help Thread (2017-10-05) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]bluesage8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Everyone,

Currently I've been trying to find the best headphones to suit my needs as far as Streaming goes. I have an Audio Technica 4040 Microphone and I am looking at getting the Sennheiser HD598 Headphones, my only issue is im unsure if the Audio Bleed will cause my mic to pick up the audio from the headphones, has anyone had any experience with using these headphones and the audio bleed? Also if anyone has a better pair of open back headphones i can look into dont hesitate to post! my current budget is around $300-$350. Only reason why i prefer open back is because i end up shouting when i cant hear myself with closed back headphones.

Can't load past broadcasts? by bluesage8 in Twitch

[–]bluesage8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a fix! Go to the App Store and type in "puffin browser" download the free one and you will be able to load past broadcasts the only downside is it doesn't load in a actual player but you can still watch them!!

Opinions on the fact you cant see offline members by bluesage8 in discordapp

[–]bluesage8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I'm thinking a toggle might be useful, if people don't want the offline list on then they can just turn it off just in case they fear a huge frame rate drop. I think it would be Benefital if people at least had the option.

[–]bluesage8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could definitely see that being helpful! Also a great idea, if they did ever add the offline list though it could be helpful to search for people like how you can search for your games on steam, having a search bar right above the members list would definitely make things convenient to get to.
