do you really believe people from here will watch your stream?

I mean, I'd like to stream and have some people watch me, but I'm not delusional and I don't really expect anyone from here to want to do that.

what game do you stream? are you a female?

99% of streamers are awful and just "react" to meme videos

Only Aris/Forsen are watchable

nonexistent. I don't approve of people who stream or watch streams for a "living." It is extremely degenerate to zoomer culture (which barely has any as it is). It is setting bad examples for kids to become brain-dead retards who start to acquire these false relationships with streams when they donate mom and dad's money to ninja.

i have 3 subs and 2 watch every fuckin vid

good enuff bro fo sho

I wish I could get into streaming but I suck at games and editing is the only way I seem remotely average

both are equally as cancerous
actually, you retards that encourage it are even worse.

well, good for you

is it possible to actually get viewers on twitch whilst having no mic/no cam/no follow sub alerts or is it pointless?

i want to play a bunch of niche SNES/GBA/Wii RPGs like swordcraft story/last story/rune factory games but being pure gameplay i don't know how well it would work. would it be better just going YT for that?

you need a mic or nobody will watch. the longplay audience is niche and largely isolated to a few YT channels

I'm trying to start a consistent weekly schedule but my schedule extension seems to have disappeared so now I'm using some stupid count down clock instead

Really pissed, that schedule extension was perfect. You could have custom images and schedule multiple events in a row so that people saw the outlook of your stream for the coming days. Don't even remember the name of it since I only started using it last week.

Doin aight, doin aight.

Streaming around once a week and making enough money from subs and whatnot to justify doing it, so that's cool. Pretty close to hitting partner as well, just need to stream more often, so that'll be an improvement there on top of it.

All in all its a pretty fun time. Trying to treat it like a business though and make sure I'm getting a return on the investment. Already over that threshold so I guess it's all good for me, chief.

Streamed for the first 2 times the last two times and got 16 viewers today
I hate my life so fucking bad but having some people to talk to while playing vidya today made me happy, I'm going to try to stream daily to see where it goes

How long have you been streaming for?

I guess around a year now or so. It's been a slow build to get the numbers up, but they're progressing steadily as I've been trying out new stuff.

FYI I've got a decent YouTube following that feeds into it, was around 50k when I started iirc, so I'm not sure if that's responsible for the relative success as opposed to being a pure streamer, but it probably is. No idea how you build a following on Twitch alone other than just playing the biggest games, Fortnite and the like.

I'm the first reply ITT. It's actually wicked having just a few loyal viewers. Shit's alright.

Twitch/Reddit community is not where it's at, though. You should do YT and only shill here when the thread calls for it. Twitch zoomers are cancerous as fuck.

well you need to link your channel user, i want to see you

>enter stream
>streamer is a "girl"
>no mic though
>no facecam either
>white knight moderators and beta orbiters in the chat
>profile picture is a generic insta thot with filters

How the fuck do people fall for this? I figured out "she" was a guy in 5 minutes.

what were you streaming? it seems impossible to stream anything popular due to saturation

That's pretty impressive, good shit on your progress so far. What kind of YouTube videos do you make?

I'm doing the reverse strategy and streaming less popular games. I started streaming Gwent recently (had been doing MTGA before that) and my viewership went from 1 to 5 and people were actually engaged in the comments and asking when I would be streaming again.

user take note of this
if your not using a mic or cam as a streamer then nobody knows who you are so just pretend to be a girl
come up with some cute name like "Marisa-Chan" anime girl avatar and in your info put "19 year old girl streamer! first time streaming i'm so nervous >//_//

kawaiiii

*is ironic homosexual for money*

that was probably me OwO
.tv/trappychan

Can't stream in Croatia. The internet speeds are abysmal. Perhaps they'd be slightly better in the capital, but anywhere else they suck.

i mean user said he wanted to stream without mic or cam, apart from 1 streamer i know it seems pretty much impossible to succeed that way
at least pretending to be a girl can net you some viewers (though they probably want to fuck you more than watch your gameplay)

I streamed The Old Hunters DLC for /bbg/ when I got it before everyone else. It was top comfy.

That's really what I want, just play some obscure vidya with few watchers. Just a slow, comfy stream where we can talk about shit and exprience the game together, but as some user here said, you have to be absolutely out of your mind to openly ask people on Yea Forums. You'll just get called a redditor and told to gtfo at best.

the problem is, twitch is an interactive platform
people watch streamers because they want to interact with them and don't feel lonely so why would they watch someones stream which is essentially a youtube video?

it MIGHT be possible if you are the only person streaming a game and someone watches it but you'll never get above 10 viewers that way and won't be making money
best advice would be to make a youtube gameplay channel, if your not speaking or swearing it won't get demonotized and people usually look up youtube videos if they want to see pure gameplay or are stuck on a section of a game which you could help with

Streaming for /vg/ is top tier comfy. I used to stream destiny 1 pvp stuff for /dg/ and occassionally raid stuff.

How do I protect myself while streaming?

don't use a webcam or your real name
if you want to get paid only accept donations to a secondary paypal account with a fake buisness name

you look like a man, not even passable

How do people so easily get DDOS'd or Swatted?

Honestly, I've done about 30 hours and yesterday I had my first good one with an interactive viewer. I was finishing the last worlds of Kirby's Adventure so it was a comfy time.

I was streaming monster hunter gen ult with a buddy, I don't think the popular games are really where I would want to be streaming. I'm not really the best at shooters or anything, I don't think anybody wants to watch 20 minutes of apex just for me to die at the first fight
Try streaming games you love and enjoy playing, viewers will be more interested

>kirby

pffffttt HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAJAHAHA

It's just a past-time hobby but I've got a few mega subs and a few regular ones. Streaming whatever game I feel like without sticking to one might be hurting me a bit though.

DDOS'd is usually because their IP Address gets revealed in a game (for example the new call of duty showed your IP in the settings) which meant a bunch of streamers IPs got revealed, this can be fixed by using a VPN

people getting swatted is due to people knowing what area you live in and knowing your name, for example if someone knew you lived in LA and your name was "Alex Jones" they could look it up quite easy through the resources avaliable. not only that but a lot of people use shit like facebook or other social media which has pictures of areas they frequent, again cross referencing this stuff with things you know about them already and it's not hard to find out where certain people live.

best way to avoid getting swatted is to give as little information about yourself as possible. don't use social media like FB or use your real name, preferably don't use a camera and don't tell people whereabouts you live just basic knowledge really.
also as said before, if you allow donations, try to use a secondary account with a business name, that way your real name isn't revealed.

How do I avoid unintentional information on a single monitor setup to avoid revealing personal information?

>someone other than me liked LotF
Woah

>stream on twitch
>11 viewers but they're all bots
>say fuck twitch and move to Mixer
>comfy streams of about 7 or 8 viewers but they're all real
Can't complain, I'm glad my streams aren't full of shitters in the chat.

OBS has capture options like "game capture" so if the game closes or crashes it just displays a black screen without showing your desktop which would avoid revealing anything

if you want to be extra careful then whilst streaming only have the game & OBS open and have your twitch chat open in a browser (or use your phone as a twitch chat)

if you are intrested in how to avoid unintended information in general then check out privacytools.io/

Been too busy to stream recently excited to continue streaming shadow hearts from the new world tonight

Would like to stream eventually, but it seems like building a youtube base is a better way to start out. Only been at it for a few weeks.

How shit is it anons?

I've got like 11 average viewers watching me play through a modded DD run. Maybe the new game will give me views idk and I don't care I'm just having fun.

It took me a while to get used to how heavy and clunky it felt but when you get used to it, its a solid game overall.

his chat is literally filled with underage kids trying to be "edgy" spouting twitch "memes" if you watch forsen, sodapoppin, greekgodx etc you should honestly rethink your life.

That's the way to do it. Chill out with your chat and treat it as a side-project you do on your days off. Also Darkest Dungeon is a top tier game so I applaud you for that.

Need 9 more followers and .5 more average viewers for affiliate. Not really trying hard to get it. I mostly just stream cause my friend enjoys watching me play whatever game I feel like playing and its a nice excuse to chat with him while I play.

Yeah, I stream occasionally but only stuff I actually want to play. Usually just to a couple friends, rarely I'll get a small number of viewers. I think I got 12 when I was streaming the DMC5 demo but I normally get 2-3.

>inb4 all of lefty/pol/ tries to whitewash your comment as being cringe, yikes, and oof
Unironically based, user. Keep just playing video games.

Ok.
I do what i want, fuck everyone else
People give me monies via donations, i dont shill at all. Its pretty damn chill.

Ya it's hard to stream consistently once I got married and once we got a dog so I just play whatever I feel like whenever I can, and that's good enough for me. Any extra viewers is a bonus.

I like streaming for friends when it's a weird game or something they haven't played before. Had a blast showing them God Hand and doing dumb things in MGS5.

Every single one of these threads you're always the first one to post your shitty channel. Always. At least try to hide it you fucking faggot

What qualities does XQC, T1, Soda posses? Autism of course, but what else? If I ever streamed I think I would wanna just have fun and be autistic like them so let me know.

I don’t get why people like forsen, is it just his chat? He’s not particularly funny or entertaining himself

Average about 10 viewers, don't really care otherwise, my focus is youtube content.

>being a faggy streamer
No thanks. I'd rather be a scumbag youtube reuploader than be those faggots.

yeah, most of the dd streams I see are just lgbt for some reason, with huge overlays.
I'm still trying to find a good time, thanks to work and most of my viewers being aussies.
Thanks btw

Twitch died when it became a career choice.

yesterday i had TWO people watching me play apex legends!!

Streamers are the new childrens entertainers (including man-children)

Bruh I didn't make this thread and this morning is the first I've shilled in fucking ages and ages

Who hurt you pussy boy? Fuck off.

just kiss already retards

I just turn it on every so often. I don't get anyone watching but it's fun to talk. I'm going throuhg arcade games at the moment.

I can only stream 3 days a week which sucks. I have a few followers now and I honestly like streaming. It's more fun to stream and just narrate with bots than it is sitting alone talking to no one.

its alright i guess. i stream mostly old dead games but at least i get sometimes get a few viewers. if i stream apex i will probably get 0 viewers

>Yea Forums streamer

I streamed for an hour with literally 0 viewers 0 comments last night. It's tough sustaining that. Especially since I was playing Soulcalibur 6 and was sacrificing a little bit of my connection/latency to run the stream [it's fine, I have a high speed high quality internet plan, I still mostly got 4 bar connections]

I enjoy streaming and want to do it more, but I'm LUCKY to even get 5 people and that was years ago when I was streaming STALKER and DaS2 PvP and shilled myself on Yea Forums as hard as I could

I just kind of chill and chat with my few viewers. It's just kind of fun for that alone. Played Metro Exodus and refunded that dogshit on stream then played an actual video game instead

game is probably over saturated. only way to get anywhere with a game like that is to get a shoutout

>had 20 viewers when For Honor first came out because it released an hour early in my country
:)

>SC6
>Oversaturated
I mean I guess it's possible, but a lot of major streamers have abandoned the game and I was playing before the time of day when local tournies and events get streamed. And no, it's not over-saturated at ALL. In fact at this exact moment, there's exactly 10 SCVI streams up and some aren't even in English. Some are Korean.

I mean I know right now is basically the opposite of "peak hours" or whatever, but still. It's not an overcrowded pool.

imagine giving $5 to a millionaire so he/she says your name

>Be the top donator of that month for this particular streamer
>She's playing Red Dead 2 Online
>Occasionally ask her on Discord and donations during the lead up to the Online launch if I can join her posse

>Feel like I've just been punched in the balls with the power of 13 suns

Needless to say I dropped the bitch after she thought she could walk all over me like I'm some cashcow, I've not looked at her stream since, removed it from my bookmarks and I've moved on to another girl who is a smaller streamer and who I make feel cherished as I'm one of her only regular donators and we chat on Discord every other day. I think I've made it, guys.

Only stream some flight sim gameplay to friends when my group does a mission

I wrote a bot that joined all 32,000+ channels chats with a girl name, got 10,000+ followers, 200+ gift subs, and 100+ viewers in a week and then got bored.
I also got about 200 whispers a day. I'd say 10% were asking the bot for nudes or trying to start ERP.

I also run a legit org stream that's affiliate and the only thing stopping it from being partner is number of streaming days.

poor incel
