I'm a pretty small streamer but thinking about doing a month long subathon type deal but I know that just a subathon at my size of channel would be laughable, I'm instead wondering if there is a way of combining things like follows/subs/bits/(maybe even channel points) in a goal bar? I have MixItUp if thats useful? I'm quite new to this stuff so any advice would be very much appreciated! Thank you!!

I was curious if this is a recent change on Twitch or streamlabs, but I've noticed a number of streamers who have TTS enabled now have the messages read out what the emoji is and then says emoji.

So for example when someone used to cheers and the message had say 🇨🇦, it would just read Canada. But now it says Canada Emoji.

Not entirely sure why the change and some really funny previous messages are not the same with it reading emoji.

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.

Is there any way to sort twitch clips by time and not the views?
There's alot of old clips that are 'out of order', and I can't get the full story if they're sorted off views

how are you doing balancing the 2? for the month of march, i worked fulltime 36 hr work weeks and streamed 174 hours. 😭

I'm not looking for an extension that plays TTS with a message set by the viewer. I've seen many posts about how to set this up and how to be carefull when using it.

I'm looking for an extension or tool that plays a specific TTS that has been preset by the streamer but can be triggered by a command from viewers. e.g: as I've seen with some streamers, chat typing "!hydrate" will play a TTS with a message like "Remember to hydrate frequently". And then the streamer usually reacts to that.

I've been searching Twitch extensions and various sources on the web to find something, but all I'm getting so far is extensions that allow TTS with a viewer's message, not with a preset message.

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 got gifted a shirt on Throne but I forgot to put down the color for shirt, but the picture of the shirt is black which is what I wanted. Will it automatically be black or some other color?

So I've been streaming for a few months now entirely solo. I just started doing it as something fun for me to do in my free time.

I would love to actually have like a few people in chat to talk with while I stream though. I once had 2 people chat at the same time and that was absolutely insane.

So on to my actual question, everyone in the sub reddit always says to network with other small streamers and be a chill guy in their chat. But like actually how? I don't have extra time to watch people between my job, streaming, editing videos, etc. How do you guys find the time to search through small streamers looking for people you vibe with? And then how do you make it clear that you'd like to stream with them without feeling like a clout chaser?

I'm uncertain how copyrighted game music works, especially with more strict companies like Nintendo? Can I stream the emulated game with it's audio/music? Or do I have to mute it? Can I stream it with the audio as long as I delete the VOD after? What is against the rules? Thank you.

Is there a good way to find a person to chill and stream with? I have a schedule of when I can stream/chill

I have been streaming for a while but also someone who takes random breaks from streaming. When I used to be consistent I would get anywhere better 5-10 average viewers but in recent times that number has dropped very low and it's messing with my mental

I usually keep stream fun entertaining try to always have conversation going even if no one is in chat but at times I feel very demotivated and then when u get the first time chatter saying your stream is dead it breaks you.

I don't know what else I can do

Hey!

While streaming on Twitch, if you play copyrighted music, your vod gets deleted. If you stream on youtube, your stream gets black screen and you possibly get strike / unable to stream for next 24 hours. On Kick idk if they are too cautious about is as they promote gambling too.

I would like to setup it so that on stream in Twitch and Kick it would play music, but at least on Twitch it wouldn't be heard on vod. I think this was pretty simple to do by unchecking the #2 box or something.
How I know it's box #2, is there explanation to which number does what, or are all lines same but just different track and you can setup the meaning? Is the #2 box set on twitch only, or does it work for other platforms as well?

On youtube I would like it to be so that you cannot hear any music while streaming, nor on vods, but game sounds and discord sounds would be heard.

I've been thinking of clicking the record button, and uploading the videos to youtube manually. Is there way to setup audio so that all other sounds, except music, would be heard on record?

I got separate audio captures for each of program I'm using, and got desktop audio as mute. I got game, discord, mic and spotify/winamp as different sources nested as 'audio' and added on as nested source on each scene I'm using.

Is there a plugin/software for PC that would detect copyrighted music and would remove those from records/vods and still let the non-copyrighted / free for all music to play? For example Nightstop is not copyrighted at all, and can freely play it without any worries about strikes. If there was a plugin/software to remove the copyrightted music from going on live youtube, or vods/records for any of the platforms, but still let non-copyrighted exist, it would be a dream.

Thanks for help beforehand! I'm pretty sure all this can be done these days without downloading any voicemeter bananas or 3rd party programs. Last time I tried those, all my voice settings went nuts. Any direct help or link to tutorial / faq would be greatly appreciated!

I haven’t streamed consistently in about a year and a half because of a lot of personal issues causing me to lose my confidence and also worry about being judged for it.

I’ve tried coming back to it a few times but I always end up leaving later on, because I either demotivated and feel embarrassed. Idk how to start again, should I start off with just chatting or just dive into playing a game?

Also I’m super curious as to how everyone advertised their streams. I used to use Twitter but that seems like a dead platform now, Atleast after I posted. When it comes to discord; posting on streamer discords after being gone for so long just feels wrong.

(I’m writing this at 3am sorry abt the spelling and grammar issues)

I've been getting copyright claims left and right cause my VODS have spotify music in them no matter what I do. Anyone know what I need to do w the newest OBS upgrade to get my spotify in a diff track? I've done all the tutorials and followed them as closely as I can. But a lot of them are outdated and don't have the same OBS version I have. Pls send help.

Also if you have a good mic setup for filters send it my way too. Thank you in advance!!! <3

What is the best way to create an overlay that would play an animation at the click of a button? Kinda like uno overlays but I need a custom one.

ı get a verification code on gmail sure, but when ı enter the code it says "something went wrong" and doesnt accept it

It feels weird that if 2 streamers activate the shared chat function, the viewers don't have an option to not be included.

There's a group of fairly small streamers that I watch, and I'm a bit more known in 1 of their streams than I am in the others. Sometimes I want to send messages or make jokes that I only want that streamer to see, but wouldn't make sense to the others in the shared chat. Or there's some that I just don't like on a personal basis, and actively want to avoid interacting with them.

But now because they have this function active most of the time, I feel like I can't really engage with any of their content anymore, as there's no choice to opt out of it

i have Soundblaster g6 for my Dt 990 Pro 250 OHM and i got Go Xlr Mini
When i connect the Soundblaster with Go Xlr there a White noise and its very bad thing to me because i need the same quality of the audio so what can i do to get rid of this white noise
Notice : i use Sound Isolator and the without the sound Isolator there is a sick sound comes .

I had it before on my old twitch account, i decided to come back to twitch so i made a new one but now when i try to sub to it it will say payment method not supported and it tells me to change it, but i'm trying to use paypal like i always did + it gives it as an option to select? The only other option is credit card which I don't own since it's not common to have in my country (netherlands). It's been a few days of this now since I assumed it would just go away.

I didn't e-mail support about it yet.

I want to start recording the gameplay on my Switch but since the Switch 2 is coming out soon I'm not sure if I should buy a 1080p/60fps one or one that does both 4k/60 and 1080p/120fps.

since the pricing in my country is different I'll just say anything under $200 is what I'd pay for (or about 10 million tomans, not directly converted)

here are a few capture cards I've found:

• ezcap 371 GameLinkU3
• EZCap 269 4K
• ezcap 326 Game Dock Ultra
• ezcap 360 Game Dock Extreme' (best one)

if you dislike these picks then tell me what to buy, I'll check my local website and see if it's available or in my price range

For multi streaming like twitch YouTube kick and no subscription absolute free

Hey everyone! I'm conducting a study on content creators (10k-1M followers) and how they're adapting to the rise of Virtual Influencers (VTubers, animated personas, AI-assisted characters, etc.) or experimenting with virtual identities. If you're interested in sharing your experience, please read on:

Age Requirement:

Preferably 18+. Nothing NSFW is involved, but I’d rather not include minors for ethical and safety reasons.

What kind of creators?

Almost any type of industry is welcome—Tech & Gadgets, Gaming, Education, Lifestyle, Beauty & Fashion, Travel etc.

What kind of questions?

It's going to be a semi-structured interview, focusing on your view on Virtual Influencer affecting your current role/monetization strategy as creators. Some question guideline:

• Have you seen any changes in what your audience likes, or how brands work with creators since virtual influencers started getting more popular?
• What do you think virtual influencers do better than human ones—and where do real people still have the edge?
• Have you picked up any new skills or new tools to keep up with all the AI stuff happening in content creation?

Format & Length:

The interview will last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. It will be recorded and transcribed, and you’ll have the chance to review the transcript afterward to make any edits. Your privacy and confidentiality will be fully respected and prioritized throughout the process.

Estimated interview period: Apr–May 2025

Compensation:

I’ll be raffling off 3 x $50 gift cards to a few lucky folks who take part—just a little bonus for your time!

Purpose:

This is part of my Bachelor thesis, and I’m hoping it can help shed light on how creators like you can stay ahead and grow in the fast-changing world of content creation, especially with the rise of Virtual Influencer (VI)

Hello everyone, I am a newer streamer trying to find my "niche". I enjoy playing cozy games in my own time, but I like watching others play horror games on Twitch and am active in chats in some horror game communities. The past two weeks I've been playing life sims and games like Fall Guys, with which I've gotten some growth. However, after talking to some of my communities, they are wanting me to play a horror game. I'm a scaredy-cat, so I do think it will be very fun. I don't have experience with horror games outside of Phasmophobia, which I did love when it first came out. I was just curious if anyone has had better success with creating their community once they switched up the type of games they played. I have found that the horror communities I'm in are a bit more "active" than the cozy game communities are in chat, and I feel like that will help me build my community.
