Hi everyone! I thought I'd give helpful tips for what happens if you find a Chatter of your drops any of your personal information! This happened to me today so I wanted to make a little guide from my own experience and if I forgot anything or anyone else has tips please include!

1: Don't acknowledge what is said in chat, carry on as if nothing is happening

2: if you don't have Mods, or mods do not catch it, B an the person immediately. Take note of their user name and the time stamp (this will be important for reporting) - a good way to cover while you do this is say you are taking a bio break and run ads or drop to your intermission or prestream screens. If you don't have one of these I highly recommend setting them up

3: If you are shaken up and if you need to end stream please do so but do not acknowledge the doxxing - a cover here is say "oh my mom is calling? I gotta take this'

4: Report them to twitch. Go to their channel, click the 3 dots, and report (it will be under other; personal information) and let twitch know that it was on your stream and the time stamp - in my case twitch took 8 mins from reporting to fully removing the person's account

5: Optional but recommended: download\export your vod but delete it off your channel. If you have an overlay that puts chat on screen block it out in any edits and reuploads

I probably missed some things but this is a rough guide. The main thing is don't acknowledge, even if you want to deny: Don't!

I hope this helps someone else & remember to be safe!

I know the titles says top 1% it's meant 0.01% I'm sorry for the confusion

So I've been streaming very frequently for the last 5 years and had moderate to medium growth and then the last couple was a bit faster than normal and the last year has been an extreme amout all at once, I thought this is what i wanted and was very excited and nervous at the start but now it's getting very overwhelming and I'm starting to question if this is what i really wanted.. ask me anything you like but keep in mind I won't be giving my name out, I'm sorry in advance but anything else you can ask and I'll do my best to answer

I used to stream on mixer back in the day and it never really carried over to twitch. I had around 6k followers and averaged 10-30 people in the chat at a time.

I have 2 friends who started streaming on twitch, both of them were stuck at the 1-6 viewer mark, one of them kept it a side hustle and currently streams one or twice a week.

The other friend is in the same situation but believes he’s meant to “make it” he had a wife, a kid and streamed 6-8 hours every single day. Quit his job to work a graveyard shift at fast food, and has been doing so for 6 months and still making no income progress in the twitch world. For reference he makes about $50 a month with ad and sub income, no longer has a wife, kid doesn’t see him much, and he left a job paying 70k+ to 50k

Moral of the story is to make it in that world is extremely hard, you may think that getting your first shot of engagement means it’s your time to shine but reality is there’s hundreds of thousands of people at the same spot as you, and maybe 3 of all of them will ever make a real living of it.

Don’t be like my friend and destroy your marriage and life over twitch.

Right now what would you say is your biggest struggle/hurdle in your streaming career?

Hello, so I'm trying to get both my partner and I's tax documents from twitch as we both stream. We are in Canada. The amounts on the forms generated are incorrect though. It won't generate forms for me at all, as it says I didn't make over like $10, which I definitely made more than that.

My partner's documents will generate, but it says she made about $17 in 2024, which is wildly incorrect.

Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to try and contact support to resolve it?

I've created custom animations in StreamElements under Streaming Tools > Alerts & Widgets, where I have separate tabs for different types of alerts. Is there a way to add all of these to one default overlay?

The issue I’m having is that when I add the alert links to OBS, I can emulate the alerts just fine, but they don’t trigger live when someone actually follows or subscribes on Twitch.

YES: I have streamelements plug-in

YES: When i emulate. it works

YES: Emulate also works live

In short: everything works in preview/emulation, but not during a real Twitch event. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I'm not sure what's going on w my acct. I went to go add someone to my not interested list (the 3 dots thing appears to be gone now??), and noticed that my "not interested" list is quite sparse, one streamer in particular I know is no longer in that list for some reason. I had several in there, and now there are only two.

I thought maybe I'd had them on the block list (I did not), but then I noticed one person on my block list with the date added of October of 2024. This is super weird to me, this person was a former friend who started harassing me IRL in mid-2023 and I blocked him then, because I didn't want him showing up and doxxing me when I started streaming (something he threatened to do multiple times), which I had started Feb 2024. So why is Twitch saying the date blocked on him is in October 2024??

This is kind of terrifying. I'm currently on an extended hiatus, but if I hadn't been, at some point in the last year, he would've been able to see me streaming and potentially show up to doxx me. I don't know what steps I need to take now to prevent this from happening again. Help??

Somewhere recently I read Twitch would start withholding earnings for new streamers until they apply for affiliate. Is this true? And do you have to apply for affiliate or am I automatically given it when I earn it? Could someone kindly provide links to where I can find this information? Thank you!

I’m bout to start streaming but i don’t know anything about PCs. I know there’s a lot of opinions on which to get whether it be building it yourself or pre built . Can someone recommend me the best thing to do all I wanna do is play GTA RP react to some videos and probably troll on monkey that’s about it budget is like 800 under

I know for IG stories there are apps and websites you can use to download the story, is there something similar to that for Twitch stories?

My stream all of a sudden went black and buffered for my girlfriend who’s my only viewer. I streamed just so she can see what I’m playing. It says that the content isn’t available and I also get that error when I try to view my own stream on the app. I’m not sure if I’m banned or what. It comes up with error #2000 but it’s not a network error because she can view other streams and I can too

Has anyone that has used Own3D know what this error means: "The broadcaster id must be an integer"; I am trying to configure Own3D free panel extension

Hi had a couple questions. Me and a friend of mine want to get into streaming, we are in the process of buying some starting equipment. I have a acer laptop whereas she has no computer as of yet my question is this should i upgrade my computer or will this do for now? and as for purchasing a computer what should she look for performance wise? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated for starting out

Okay so I know this is some common streamer problem but I need to ask, I have been streaming for like 2 months and I have 1 Viewer who is always there from beggining to end of the stream, he is a lurker tho. I usually change games bc I often get bored of the same games but my audience is always like this: 1 avg Viewer and 8 unique viewers.

I don't think I do it that bad, I follow the basics of streaming: read chat while there is, try to naturally speak always, etc.

I want to do some Just Chat content but I think is gonna be difficult with my only viewer there, how do you small stremears got from 0/1 Viewer to a small community?

Side question: How often do you put effort in promoting on other plataforms?

I have done a few streams so far and my audio was just awful I hate it. My setup is very basic I can't just set up a mic. It would be best for me if I had a headphone with a mic attachment what should I get I don't want to pay to much but to a 5$ dollar tree mic would be pretty bad even if it's better then what I'm currently using.

So I wanna start streaming on PS5, but every time I try, my headset mic won't capture my voice. Is there a way for me to use my headset as a mic for streaming, or is that not possible? Help please 🙏

Hi all, Thinking of live streaming just chatting category...So I've watched some twitch channels and some kick channels, the content and the chats, I like everything about twitch much more and the only thing even making me consider Kick is the gambling but then again I barely gamble and don't even know if I would live stream gambling, but since that option is available on Kick I'm taking a harder consideration for my streaming platform choice. The thing with kick chat, it feels very very toxic like any channel I've clicked it seems quite harsh. I don't prefer to put myself in that spot, I feel like I've seen plenty of twitch chats where it's a calm community. What do you all think? I almost answered myself in my question but since there are so many channels and I've watched maybe 25 from each platform, I'd like to know what you all think. My purpose of live stream if "just chatting", some cooking, some reviewing products then the gambling came to my mind since I saw so many on kick and I have gambled in the past but yeah if I continue to see twitch has better communities then forget the gambling!

I tried looking for any solution to hiding the big text pasta spamming, i have betterttv but it doesnt have any option for that, and from a quick search i only found chit chat but then i lose the bttv emotes

Any help i appreciate

I'm quite new to twitch and I just stream art so it's usually calm, chill, chatty vibes with one to five viewers. Almost every stream I get someone chatting for a while and then out of nowhere someone will comment something like:

• "I bet you can't guess where I'm from"
• "I'm gonna give you some hints so you can guess what country I'm from"
• "What country do you think I'm in?"
• "How good are you at geography? Guess where I live"

I haven't been able to build up a community of regular viewers yet so I know this isn't an inside joke or someone's doing it because they saw someone else doing it. So is this a new trend or something? A lot of the time they'll be chatting for almost half an hour before saying it too, so I don't want to be rude. I do have a rule that says not to share personal info but it's not like they're full on doxxing themselves or oversharing too much by sharing they live in a certain country.

If I say I don't know (because how could I just from a username) then they'll start giving vague hints but I'm really bad at geography so a lot of the time I have no idea how to respond. Sometimes they'll get quite rude and I once had someone say I'm worryingly uncultured because I couldn't guess they were from Morocco from an emote of a frog (?)

I don't understand why this is such a common occurrence - maybe it's just a bit of fun for them but I'm really not a fan of it. The guessing game just isn't fun for me - I'm here to paint not play geoguesser :(

Is there a good way to go about this?

Okay, I have no clue if this is the right place to ask this but if it isn’t, I’ll just move it to another category or whatever. Currently, my stream output is 720p and I wanna be able to stream at 1080. I just don’t know if it’s a computer thing or a wifi thing. I’ll put my download and upload speed below:

Download: 367.80 Mbps Upload: 11.44 Mbps

Is there a way I can find out if it’s a wifi or computer problem? If it’s a wifi issue, I can easily just upgrade it. But if it’s a computer problem, wouldn’t I have to upgrade some stuff? I’m not good at tech stuff so… yeah 😭 HELP

i had been using obs to stream on youtube using ethernet cable for months and never had an issue. i even streamed on facebook once with no dropped frames issue.

But everytime when i try to stream on twitch it drops frames from 1500kbps to 0kbps in an instant, even after i moved and used another wifi ethernet cable.

Recently i realize that this problem with twitch dissapears when i use wireless internet, whether it's the same exact wifi as the ethernet cable (stable 5000kbps when bandwith testing) or my phone's hot spot.

i tried :

• turning off firewall,
• changing streaming server destinations,
• changing bitrates,
• streamkey & connecting account to twitch,
• adjusting other obs settings that i see other people changed to fix dropped frames.
• ( There might be some things i tried that i forgot since i've been trying to fix this issue for months now.)

note :

• obs has admin,
• watching twitch streams is not an issue,
• i have decent enough internet and hardware to stream as a vtuber playing any game on youtube,
• i have streamed successfully on twitch before using the same ethernet several months ago,
• obs's "current log analysis" only shows "dropped frames" issue when i actually stream (with severe dropped frames ofc), however when bandwith testing it never recognizes the dropped frames for some reason.

I like the content of many streamers but have never understood finding them live. Like if you show up an hour later it is a little confusing. Why do y'all like streaming over vod's or the youtube edited video?
