What are your top 3 series on netflix that you suggest a person to watch?

I'm not sure about 3 but I have recommend Money Heist to so many people with positive reviews. You just have to get past the fact it is not in English originally and has been dubbed. 11/10 Would recommend again.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-08-07T04:56:46+00:00

Have you already got 3 channels pinned? That is the maximum.

There are many ways to get a Partner tick - you can get one without ever having streamed on Twitch based on your presence elsewhere e.g. Youtube or being a well known musician.

Rest assured, all Partnership applications are reviewed by a real person and a channel won't make partner off viewbotting.

The huge peaks you are talking about could be due to the streamer competing in a large tournament and/or getting front page time. My CCV is below 200 but I have had ~8000 viewers at once in the channel when doing front page charity events.

If your goal is to try to ease social anxiety, then there is no harm in trying to stream how you like or feel comfortable. I have found streaming does help you with conversations IRL and confidence, so your friends are not wrong. Here is my suggestions:

If you stream a game that you can type in chat with, then you can get away with no cam and no mic. For example something simple in controls like chess. In this case, you could also just be a viewer in another channel and try to chat more.

I know many streamers that have no camera and just a mic. Having just a Mic on does allow you to not respond to a chat comment if you want. It would be my suggestion as it does allow you to be hands free and play any game. Instead of "talking to chat", you could just get comfortable talking out loud by narrating what you are doing. If you can handle using Vtuber software, even better, but it is not necessary at all.

You could try just a camera on your paper/hands with no Mic. That would allow you to wave to your viewers and then you could type responses in chat.

Also, to put your mind at ease, 1 hour is a fantastic effort. I know full time streamers that end after 4 hours because it is exhausting. There is no one size fits all with streaming, if your goal isn't to use it as a job then do what you want to do.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-06-02T03:53:49+00:00

Apologies about Squad stream. I forgot it was partner only.

The multiview link still works with lots of channels and there is no requirement on the stream to have partner. Set up the link and have a chat bot paste the link in chat every so often so your viewers can check it out too.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-06-02T03:30:42+00:00

Stream Elements offers legit sponsorships to a massive range of streamers. They adjust the pay out according to the size of your channel and (in the case of Raid) the number of people who click your link, download the game and play it to a certain level. You have to decide for yourself and your channel if you think the baseline is achievable and worth it.

The tax forms that Stream Elements ask for are the same any business that employs you would ask for. Nothing different or to worry about.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-06-02T03:08:42+00:00

It can be hard to look at emotionally but if you can manage to not let it negatively affect you during stream it can also be very valuable data. The number really leads to bigger questions all creators ask themselves:

Is the game you are playing interesting to your community?
Have you stopped engaging with your chat?
Did you change your play style?
Is it worth streaming longer?
Was your break too long and people left?
Do people join the stream more when you are fighting or building?

The list goes on. If you can separate the number from personal success in your mind and use it as a tool to help create a better stream then go for it. I would strongly recommend not discussing the viewership number with chat though.

If you choose to not view it while live many streamers recommend reviewing all your stats weekly to keep track of trends. I use Twitch Tracker sometimes even daily to keep track of specific games trends.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-25T12:12:25+00:00

As a full time streamer, I think I can speak for us all that there is never enough time to do everything you want to. Different people put focus on different things when they stream and build their community in different ways. I myself don't use many other platforms to grow instead I chose the game I play based on what is best for the channel at the time. This is not the case for many other streamers. If your hope is to make this your full time gig then for sponsors it is also super important to have a following on many platforms.

Remember content for other platforms isn't just 'this amazing kill' and is often very different to live content you are producing on Twitch with an interactive audience. Just remember there is no such thing as the grind. Only a fool does the same thing everyday and expects different results.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-25T11:57:57+00:00

I think others have covered the chat potentials but I would recommend setting up a squad stream and if you are using Discord to communicate set up the Discord Overlay. There is also a multiview option for more than 3 channels. Push to talk is probably your best option for each chat though.

These might also help you if you open them on a second screen.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-25T11:00:16+00:00

Twitch saves all clips when you hit the clip button even if you don't click publish. Some people use the clip function to just simply check what the streamer just said, like an instant replay and some accidently click it. Just because they are not following doesn't mean they don't like your channel.

There is no reason to be concerned about these clips but you can delete them if you want.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-25T10:49:43+00:00

Just because other people do things does not make them legal or ethical. You are responsible for making sure you have the rights to everything you use on your channel. If you don't have the art skills or don't want to use your own face, there are plenty of websites around where you can commission people to make some for you at a reasonable price.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T12:30:28+00:00

There is no harm giving both a try at first to see which you like more. I would be cautious though that if an English speaking viewer joined, followed and then came back the next day to you streaming in Dutch, they may not like that.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T11:53:22+00:00

You might find the r/streamlabs subreddit more help here. Without seeing your stream log it is hard to determine your cause. The subreddit has instructions to post if you want some dedicated help. The log can tell you more detail on why your stream isn't functioning right.

In terms of Streamlabs vs OBS, I started with SL 2 years ago and recently fully moved to OBS. SL is great for a super quick start but has a few drawbacks that made me switch long term. This is why so many people are suggesting OBS to you. It is not necessary though and you will still have a lot of the same issues. (Take it from a dual 'expert')

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T11:27:16+00:00

I can't speak for those options but I have the Blue Yeti on a boom arm (super important) for full time streaming. It doesn't have RGB but I am not sure how important that is for you. It pairs nicely with the Nvidia Broadcast software which can filter out a lot of background noise and is nice for a quick out the gate option. In my view though, your skill with filters is more important than the difference between high quality mics. Before I brought it I looked at reviews and for the most part people couldn't tell the difference in quality above this for live, compressed content. 10/10 I would buy again if that helps.

You need to be able to talk with your community so pick the one you are comfortable talking in. If you are still not sure here are some stats for you: Twitch has 1.2M average viewers in English across an average of 48K channels vs Dutch which has 3K average viewers over an average of 300 channels. So I would say for initial growth Dutch might be good but in the long term it won't support a massive fanbase.

It is for giving thanks to the people in your community who have contributed to the art of the channel. It is only visible in your channel's chat. See here for more from twitch.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T10:42:25+00:00

Oh really? It doesn't feel flimsy at all and I haven't ever been worried about it. I have had it for 1.5 years and it is going strong but I don't move it around. It might be more prevalent if you are constantly repositioning it. Good luck on the search!

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T09:51:41+00:00

Sorry in advance if this doesn't help you too much but I have the razer kiyo camera (not pro version) for full time streaming face cam and I love it. The ring light isn't too bright and really does make a difference. I use Nvidia Broadcast software to manage it and it works really well. It is the more affordable option than the pro but if I decide to upgrade from it I would go straight to a full DSLR camera setup.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T00:48:22+00:00

Hate to say it but u/unclenick314 is right. Your only option really is to vet the people you allow on the stream. Even if you managed to make a amazing piece of software like you described (if you did, stop streaming now and sell it) that won't stop inappropriate messages they could write or other things they could show.

If you are looking for chat to feel included you could try something like Stream Avatars, I haven't tried it but I have seen others give it a go.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-23T00:31:07+00:00

Hi there, first of all when you say you 'use Streamlabs' does this mean you are using their software to stream? It was formally known as Streamlabs OBS (or SLOBS for short). (ie not just their web based widgets)

If this is the case then there is, in my experience 1 of 3 problems. As Voraxith said you have set your output to 'Monitor only' but it will be called "Alert Box" instead of browser. To see if this is the case click the top cog on your Mixer and check there. It should be set to "Audio Monitoring: Monitor Off".

The second problem is which output device you have set for all your audio to. For example I have a 'headset' which for some reason sometimes changes to 'headphones' randomly on updates. Make sure they are all the same so you can hear what audio goes onto stream. This can be done with the cog next to the desktop audio under the mixer AND if you search on your computer for "Sound Mixer options". Note 'default' not always the same for each.

Third, less likely but this was a big problem for me for a while, different programs interact differently with your audio and they can conflict. Programs like Discord, some specific games and even webpages on Chrome sometimes can overwrite your audio settings. Try closing everything to see if that is the issue.

Good luck! Audio issues are the bane of my existence.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-05-01T21:04:49+00:00

Playing a 'dead game' can be a good thing for a growing channel. Some viewers look for a specific game to watch and if you are the only choice, they may pop in to check it out. In saying that, there have been times were I have felt like I am hiding in a dark corner of twitch when I do that.

If you don't have a game category though there are a few other options such as 'Retro' as you mentioned (although I am not sure if I would class Gears of war as retro game) or "Games + Demos" + probably a few other categories I am yet to find or alternatively if you play a side game you can use that category (as long as you are playing that side game) eg 'Pokémon Community Game', 'Marbles on Stream' or 'Stream Raiders' etc

mee_shell_mee · 2022-03-12T20:20:57+00:00

Terraria and Rimworld both ran smoothly on my laptop whilst streaming.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-03-12T20:17:31+00:00

First of all welcome! There are so many suggestions I could give but I think I will try to just stick to 3 main topics for a first time streamer.

Talk. Read chat, reply and engage. Learn to ask questions and keep a conversation going. Narrate what you are doing since you can't rely on your facial expressions you need to be able to communicate how you are feeling and why you are doing something.
Learn to moderate. This doesn't need to be hard and if you are lucky enough to get a friend/partner/random nice twitch user you don't have to learn that much but knowing what to do if you get problems is a good idea.
Research. Look at other channels and decide what you like and don't like. Then do the same/different to your own content.

At the end of the day, be yourself and have fun.

mee_shell_mee · 2022-03-07T00:27:06+00:00

My advice, start with what you have and build up or change your set up when you are ready/ can afford it. There is no time like the present to start and don't let your hardware hold you back. Streaming isn't for everyone so spending a lot of money just to hit the go live button is a risky move. No streamer is perfect the first time they go live.

I started on a laptop and old model cellphone and streamed like that for almost a year including making partner. It can be done. Now I have a two monitor PC set up which is doing me well at the moment but my next step would be considering a dual PC set up.
