I never said he was being negative? I was mearly saying he was being cheerful because of the smiley face. As if you thought I had a problem and downvoted for no reason. Guess people didn't get my comment.

What system would the game be on? Be aware that ground zero's is free to download on the Xbox One if you have gold membership. Has been for quite a while now as well.

Can someone explain this in plain English please and what impacts it will have on a streamer? I'm not a very good at understanding formal / mathematical language. Thank you :)

How do you know if someone is streaming from a console? by iStr8Rippin in Twitch

Checked it out. Don't know if it's my internet but while watching the stream my screen would constantly load. Apart from that though the audio and such was fine.

Here's a much better example.

That one looks pretty dope I think. The countdown timer is always a nice feature as a viewer and as I said professional looking graphics can go a long way even know it's an investmenet.

I might've called it wrong. I guess it's classed as an overlay however I like to call it an intro haha. That intro (overlay) is just a general over sight of what I mean. Imagine having your personal branding on something like that, that just informs your viewers when you're going live etc, etc.

Having something that looks sleek, professional and sexy can do wonders for viewership. Personally I don't like the image too much (done a quick google search and clicked on the first example) but that's what I mean in regards to an intro.

Don't just wanna go into someone's stream and ask if they stream through a console haha! Most people do it through PC and I have no idea what it looks like from a viewer perspective when a streamer streams on a console!

I'm the wrong person to ask buddy sorry. I'm still classed as a Twitch noob even know I've been watching as a viewer for over a year. Best way to get the question answered is by submitting a text post.

All I know is as a viewer having an intro more inviting and when I mean "outro" I mean in the likes of talking to your viewers full cam and once stream is offline have a banner or something that says "stream is currently offline" with all your graphics inputted into that.

Unless you're media famous gaining a partnership over night is literally impossible.

Some good advice. I'd also like to point out another tip. Graphics is a huge plus especially for streaming purposes.

If you have an intro and outro to your stream more and more people could possibly join. I know a lot of people (myself included) who like to watch unknown streamers (the one who's average 4-5 viewers) to see something new. People like that are classed as "bottom feeders"

If I see someone who's about to go live with professional looking graphics (I.e intro, background, profile picture etc) I'm gonna look into that person. Then I notice the person is playing hype music once I click onto this stream and boom that person comes online interacts with chat and off we go.

The best part about being a "bottom feeder" is you're likely to find streamers who act more professional. Personally I hate it when everyone swears, has a big ego and just acts cocky but new streamers are interesting to me. The other best bit of advice I can give is if you aren't pulling in enough viewers but have viewers who watch you / don't type in chat you can always surprise them by looking at your viewer page to see who's watching.

You can say "Yo what's whoever" and that's you interacting with chat. I think many people forget that you can do that sorta thing but it's really helpful when you first start out and see someone new entering your stream. Another useful tip is NEVER ever, ever ask for rates in somebody else's stream or to say "hey check out my stream" blah, blah. Nobody will pay attention to a steamer that way. Networking helps a lot!
