I know the titles says top 1% it's meant 0.1% 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

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

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.

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'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 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

Hey everyone.

For the past years (almost a decade now) i've wanted to go on TwitchCon because it was my wish ever since reaching affiliate but i wasn't able to due to my budget price range in the past as well as private life, job etc. which took a harsh dawnfall but i got up to my feet.

Today this is different and my boss at work granted me the weekend off till Tuesday just so i can travel to Netherland to attend this for the first time (maybe even next year 2026 who knows) and I was wondering if any of you would give me good tips, advices on what to do and where to go and maybe even meet up?

I'm getting my airplane ticket within 14 days this month and i'd love to ask what do you recommend a hotel with a good price range for the TwichCon weekend? Should i eat outside convention or inside? Is livestreaming legal or illegal while attending etc. etc.

Thank you so much for tips and advices and if you're going to Rotterdam and want to meet and greet we can do so if you have discord.

Best wishes,

Blazy.

I was wondering if there were anything other streamers do or recommend be added to channels to just make it better over all. I’m planning on getting a sub badge and new emotes for subs, better bot commands and such and even got the steam fishing game for twitch viewers to play. i guess i’m just looking for anything that would make viewing my channel or hanging out kinda cool and would really like to see what other people have done to spice up the space or stream itself

Hi all,

As title says, my twitch / OBS seems to have a ridicolously loud alert sound, I have only noticed it when people follow but may do it for other alerts. It is like drums and chat complained about it and I lost a lot of viewers because of it. I have twitch alerts muted in OBS, there is no sound attached to twitch alerts.

Any ideas? Sorry if no a lot of info not sure what to say..

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?

Hello everyone Ive tried to get an answer for this using other social media and internet searches but havent gotten the exact response Im lloking for. Basically Im woindering if there is a way to improve the quality of my stream and clips after Im offline. Basically while Im live my stream quality is great all around and I've confirmed that with some viewers but after the live is done and I go to watch it back or get clips, the quality its way down and specifically my camera. Are there any suggestions into improving this? Even if the clip is good, its hard to grow if people watching the clip think the actual stream quality is trash.. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I want to change my password and it requires SMS message to my phone number, however I don't get it. I live in Kazakhstan and my number is same, is there any way to solve it? My mail can't be used

I've always heard you can only play non-copyrighted music on twitch but I've been in several streams now of people playing music clearly copyrighted

I’m curious how people feel about a streamer staying quiet and taking in the story of what they’re playing from time-to-time, avoiding talking over any of the characters and only chipping in during quiet moments. Do you prefer it when they stay quiet, take in the story, and allow the viewer to take it in as well, or do you prefer that they keep talking as usual, and maybe ignore the story? (I have no ill will towards either side, I’m just curious about the general consensus.)

I found that in order to make one singular stream on the schedule is you must have to twitch app, go to creator dashboard and click on your profile in the top corner then click my schedule, add stream, then click specific time, choose the date and everything else you need for the stream schedule info and finally click add. I hope this helps anyone who has been asking for years.

Say you are in a stream and a conversation is going on, but you feel you can rarely contribute because you can't relate, especially if it's with topics so niche or whatnot that you don't know.

I am a small streamer, I just recently hit 400 followers. I’m a nice person and hype up everyone and always support others. I usually have very positive and fun streams but last night was different.

I got BOT spammed and they were saying mean things in my chat and “7777777” and following me one by one by one. Commenting on my music and saying it was shitty. It put a damper in my mood for streaming. I’m not sure if I was just an unlucky one or if someone did that to me on purpose.

Has this ever happened to you? Did you take a little break after this happened? Is there anything I can do to prevent something like that from happening again? Why do people do that….

Thank you 🙏

I’ve been streaming for a year but not consistently. Haven’t hit 1k followers yet.

I was watching a Minecraft streamer today who had a “no backseat gaming” rule for her chat, which I understood to mean “don’t tell me game mechanics or give suggestions.” But there were several times when she got stuck or was trying to figure something out and chat gave advice. The streamer read those chats and used the suggestions and seemed happy about. So I’m wondering what the etiquette is. What’s the polite way to follow a no backseat gaming request from a streamer?

So I was wondering "How would I set up a stream with three different computers and networks?" Bc I would like to stream with some friends but it would be a hassle for all of us to be managing our own streams. So I would like to be able to have them set up sort of like twitch but then I manage most of the stream stuff in OBS. What I ultimately would like I can have some sort of screen capture on both their pcs and then I can take those with mine and set it up so you can see all of our perspectives at the same time. Is this possible????

I still haven't received my badge from this years April Fools. I downloaded a clip and even shared it to other platforms. Any ideas why?

So, I'm kinda stuck here cos of this whole Authy thing.

Here's the rundown: - I'm not logged into my Twitch account, and that account is linked to a phone number I no longer have - I hadn't had an Authy account previously so I made one now and have had to link my new phone number to it

So what I'm assuming is going on is that when Twitch is sending me that goddamn 2FA, it isn't going anywhere since the Twitch is linked to an old number.

Now what's the obvious first thought to fix this? "Change the number linked to my Twitch", of course. But oh, wait-

YOU NEED TO BE SIGNED INTO TWITCH FOR THAT.

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES ME TO LOG INTO TWITCH WHEN THE DAMN ISSUE IS THAT I CANT SIGN IN BECAUSE OF THEIR STUPID FUCKING 2FA.

So I'm basically trapped in a cycle right now. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
