The TFLGR process helped me because my first 3 streams I had no clue my mic audio wasn’t picking up so basically I was talking to myself and nobody could hear me. Glad I learned from it

[@CpawsMusic]

haha happens to the best of us homie!

[@DONOP06]

Same happened to me. Was halfway through a horror game playthrough and I realized no one could hear me💀

[@rubianrubix]

Same. I am a Vtuber and I didn't realise my mic audio was off till one of my viewers told me in chat. Let's just say it was really embarrassing for me.

[@Homeannor]

I'm told a lot by my friends that I should start streaming since I'm apparently quite enjoyable to watch in a discord vc. I'm really considering it but I'm glad I found your videos. Plus talking to new and random people about whatever comes to mind is kinda my thing. Hopefully that won't be an issue for me 😂

[@CpawsMusic]

You should do it!

[@AriGatoVT]

Did you do it?

[@TheKoziShow]

[@vrockenn5431]

Ily. We need more people like you on earth. I am just starting to stream and i had 0 knowledge on it. But with ur help i was able to start my first stream and set up my donation panel and everything in just 2 days. Thank you very much

[@MidnightStalker1]

Regarding a previous video, I do not recommend setting hotkeys. You can't use those keys for anything else while OBS is open. I've accidentally started a live stream several times today while doing other things. It took me a minute to figure out every time I pressed those keys a stream would start.

[@CpawsMusic]

I'd recommend using the num pad keys or whatever keys you're not going to use - also might be worth scooping up a stream deck if that's the case haha

[@MidnightStalker1]

@@CpawsMusic Never heard of a Stream Deck before, so I looked it up. That looks like a good solution. I'll have to consider that. Thanks. The only hotkey I have set right now is to mute and unmute mic/aux 3. Probably the only thing I really need to control while I'm playing a game. I have a noisy house, so if I'm playing during the day, I unmute to say something. Speaking of which, I was confused by a previous video. We created another mic audio and set the audio settings for that. Then, we had 2 mic/aux. Wouldn't that cause an echo? I had to uncheck the track boxes for the first mic and mute it then just used the one we set up mic/aux 3.

[@CpawsMusic]

yeah you only need 1 mic/aux if you're only using 1 mic @@MidnightStalker1

[@MidnightStalker1]

@@CpawsMusic I'm using my built-in mic on my laptop. Not the best option. I do have another cheap mic somewhere. I hope to someday be able to invest in stuff. I'm also a game developer and much of my failures has to do with having money. I've listened to my streams. Not very good quality, especially on the mic. I think mainly because it's not close enough. Sound goes in and out as if sometimes the mic can hear me and sometimes it can't.

[@JVPlayz96]

Hey man thanks for these tips. I'm about to make my first stream sometime within the next couple days. I've been watching your videos on how to set everything up and it's been a tremendous help.

[@CpawsMusic]

Hell yeah! So happy I could help ya out 😁

[@shyryTsr2k]

A tip on how to TALK TO YOURSELF: Basically just “Shower thoughts”. Of course keep it appropriate but say anything relevant that pop into mind and have a conversation with yourself about what you’re doing. Don’t think about what anyone may think or if you’re doing something wrong because it’s your stream. You don’t have to be overly enthusiastic about everything despite what a lot of KZbinrs/streamers are like because if that’s not your personality, then you shouldn’t fake anything. Just my honest opinion

[@CpawsMusic]

heck yeah!

I've noticed a lot of people are playing music through spotify, but I want to make sure that I'm compliant with Kick's new DMCA policy and finding it difficult on what music I can actually play.

[@PollyAlways]

Good morning Cody, its GrandmaPolly here again. Well I did my first strream and it was so awkward. No worries I'll heed your tips and get better. At the moment I only have 1 monitor. I will get another very soon but what I wanted to ask is .....Can i have the webcam image and chat box over my actual game as I play? I found it was choppy as I alt tabbed to chat to my friend who was watching and helping me get it going. Appreciate your videos hugely. You are always so clear and precise. (and very funny).

[@CpawsMusic]

You can have the chatbox over your game, but not your webcam (as far as I know) - Here's a video showing how to do the chatbox :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6TYcmdnhqd-q9U

So I got a question right? So if you don't have a laptop but you have a PC still and you're streaming, is it okay once in awhile to check your phone for your comments because you can't look at a laptop or something. Trying to figure out how to do it professional

I find it hard to get people chatting even though I’m chatting loads of crap n about the game

[@CpawsMusic]

It can definitely be pretty hard to get people talking sometimes (I sometimes even find that it's harder when I'm talking about the game) I recommend trying to switch up the topic after a bit if no one is biting and asking simple questions like 'did anyone do anything fun today'? Also sometimes people just want to lurk and I can respect that, so really you just have to try your best. Also here's an older video I did that goes more into depth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKmg5tqgaqZrLs
