I just got affiliate after making my account a month ago, I haven’t been streaming regularly except the past 4 days and I’m feeling the pressure to keep streaming everyday to keep the momentum.

How do you guys deal with balancing taking advantage of good streaming days vs balancing life? I’ve been doing 6-7 hour streams since that’s the amount of time I spent gaming lately but I usually game for 2-3 hours at most

Hi guys!

I’m a video editor looking to work with creators who are looking for an editor. Just thought I'd post on here to see if anyone is interested :)

I’m open to working with your budget! (No free work or “commission”)

**Services:**

• YouTube & Stream/VOD Editing

• Shorts, TikToks & Reels

• Thumbnails

Feel free to message me if you have any questions or would like more information. I also have references/examples of my work available.

Thanks!

Hi y'all, I've mostly kept my internet/ Twitch friends separate from my irl/ in-person friends. I never really had a reason to mix those two groups.

But I was always a viewer on Twitch. Now that I'm a streamer myself, and creating my own community and discord, it feels like I should invite and include as many friends as I can?

I'm mostly just hesitant that my irl friends might doxx my real name by accident/ by habit. I also worry that the two groups might not get along with each other

What do you all think? Keep separate or try to include everyone?

Now sure it isnt the insane numbers I see here from time to time, but for this being my first time being raided and bumping me closer to affiliate its pretty sick to me >.>

Heyhey, this feels akward but let's goo...

I'm a fairly new streamer (F/28), averaging around eight viewers. I’m grateful for my growing community, but I’ve struggled with male viewers who expect constant access to me outside of streams....

Some follow me on Instagram, DM constantly, call me on Discord, and guilt-trip me when I don’t respond quickly. I enjoy chatting with viewers (especially on my discord) but occasional attention often turns into expectations of constant contact. And even when I communicate that they should all write me in general on DC they keep writing me privately.

I have ADHD, work full-time, and have an active social life. Streaming is something I enjoy, not my entire life. Yet some viewers seem surprised that I have friends and plans outside of Twitch and League of Legends.

During my last stream, with 16 viewers, several guys confronted me about not replying to their messages. I felt pressured to justify myself on MY OWN stream. I’ve also had loyal viewers become so demanding/derranged that I eventually had to block them everywhere.

I worry some people watch because they enjoy my content orr because they think they might eventually date me. I want to stay friendly without giving the impression that viewers are entitled to my personal time....Before anyone asks, I tried multiple times to set healthy boundaries yet it never works.

Have other female streamers dealt with this? How do you set boundaries without making things awkward or pushing people away? Does it get better as your community grows, or is this something female streamers have to accept?

Lots of Love :)

Hey y'all, so like it says I want to start streaming and I'm on PS5 is it really as easy as making a twitch account linking and just pressing start streaming? Is it necessary to answer comments and interact with chat? I play a lot of games vanilla and blind, like I don't do any look ups or cheats just good ol explore and figure it out. What tips and tricks do you have you're willing to give away? Anything is helpful. Thanks all!

Having some good numbers i think. Started in August. What do you all think? Im atill new so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Now I just need to get my average viewer count up. My peaks usually sit around 12-15 concurrent so I'm VERY happy with it so far!

Good audio quality, including your microphone, eliminating background noise, balancing desktop audio and alerts.

Good video quality (stream, camera, and bitrate)

A nice clean background, whether it’s the room you’re in or setting up proper filters for a green screen.

Obviously how you play to being entertaining is the most important thing. It’s important to network and post to social media. But I think people starting out streaming overlook how important quality is for retention specifically.

Viewers will notice these things even if they’re not conscious of it. If I find two streamers who play the same thing and are both likable people I’m going to gravitate to the one with better stream quality. I generally tend to watch streams that look really good for more time.

I just recently upgraded my camera and stream to 1440p and spent a lot of time tweaking audio. I’ve noticed that people who used to pop in, send a couple messages and leave, are now staying for the whole stream.

Anyway this is probably pretty obvious to a lot of you but my main point is that even if you’re new, focus on getting your quality as good as possible.

The 1st screenshot was a Raid Stream from Streamers Paradise

The 2nd screenshot was a Normal Stream, but I have to unpublish my recent stream cuz I screw up the Twitch VOD audio on my OBS Studio.

I got affiliated about a year ago but then stopped streaming. Just started fresh a month or two ago and it’s going quite well. Made some friends and hammering Helldivers 2 🥹
