Hello what is your widget resolution ? Chatbox ?

[@ninerliner79]

i have done everything HUMANLY possible for 7 years straight and i STILL get no viewers and no chats... Should i just quit streaming or what? i have quit talking to my streams due to the 7 years of failing to get peeps to engage

[@StreamScheme]

@@ninerliner79 I looked at your channel, and while I don't want to be harsh, the content you're creating and your streams need a lot of work. If you watch my 32 tips video and score yourself out of 32, you'll get a list of actionable tips you can work on, because right now I wouldn't consider what you're doing actually that much. Good luck! Hope the video and score helps!

[@DezorakStudio]

heys decided nows the time i wanna hit streaming more then just having fun with friends and dedicate more effort into it. gotta ask as it looked amazing what was your chat box on stream that animation was clean and looked so much better then just text popping up?

[@michaelkajer6713]

Hey AJ, do people who are watching my stream, but haven't chatted, count as viewers? Or are there bots in my streams?

[@underreign]

One night, the chat was going great for me, and my few viewers were chatting with me the whole time. Next stream, averaged 5 viewers the whole time but no chat. Made me think about why but it seems like they enjoyed watching me and just wanted to chill. Great info

[@Suavetip]

I absolutely love your content. Being a small streamer has to be one of the hardest realities when trying to break through. We all appreciate these videos!

[@TheMurphination]

The "a quiet chat doesn't mean a streamer is boring..." comment resonates TOO well with me, I deal with it all the time! I need to start reminding myself of that because when my chat is dead, my anxiety kicks in and I subconsciously tell myself I'm doing a bad job, whereas my viewers literally tell me "we're just enjoying the vibe and the experience"!

[@hazefuly]

These are actually some great tips for a small content creator. The main focus of Twitch is just that! Chatting with viewers, and playing the game at the same time. Not just ignoring your chat members, because they joined YOUR stream so they'd find someone to talk to about that genre.

[@CozyGamerKat]

Such an interesting video! I really appreciate your last bit about lurkers and focusing on the game so you can make other content for different platforms. I really value my chatting aspects of my streams, but you're right - if you want to grow, at some point you need to focus more on the content than the relationship between streamer and chat. Probably more relevant for mid-sized streamers than small streamers like myself, but such an interesting point. I'm incredibly curious to see how you navigate this in your stream! As a semi-lurker in your chat it's interesting to see you shift things in small ways, I think you're on the right track, can't wait to see how you'll adapt to more a content-oriented streamer!

[@Squidumsxo]

I'm really glad I stumbled on this video because lately I had started to become discouraged when chat goes quiet. Thanks for explaining how lurkers are on twitch. As a small streamer your content makes a lot of things easier. Thanks so much.

[@flynnyfae]

This is so relatable! I had a raid of 20+ viewers and only a couple said hi, I felt like I failed somehow.. I have to say I feel much better now 😊

[@kjgibsonmusic]

Chat bots and commands are a really great idea! I feel like some of them would work a lot better for smaller streamers than others, but definitely getting some kind of activity in chat is so important since it's impossible to engage with viewers if you don't know they're there

[@OberstFeldwebel43]

I stream with a group, usually we are in Discord. Who ever is running stream that day has chat open on their second screen, and those of us not running the stream do the same. That way all of us can and do respond to chat. When we run our strategy games chat gets hyper active with suggestions or just stuff messing with us for the way we are playing. Next step is getting some emotes and stuff set up for channel points.

[@726ellie]

Love that

[@LunarBlossomYueHua-Vods]

The best advice anyone's given me in regards to streaming is to treat your stream like a recorded video. Basically learning how to talk to yourself/get comfortable with commentating/laughing at YOURSELF bc that's the content. sometimes you are just performing in front of a camera/mic to a silent audience. and that's ok. I'm only now realising that my habit of doing this off camera really helps now that I'm streaming haha you gotta be just a little wacky to be a streamer after all. I will say I definitely needed to hear that a quiet chat doesn't mean an uninterested chat, especially if people are hanging around just not talking... it means they do enjoy the stream enough to stay. Not everyone wants to put the spotlight on themselves in a chat, and I can understand that. thanks for the pointers man! Great contextual answers with some further insight for common small streamer problems. Much appreciated.

[@DezzNytes]

I've noticed the final point myself. Sometimes when I'm editing and an important bit comes up that needs to be in a KZbin video it gets cut off by me talking to chat about something completely different or in the past was blown out by some sound alert that I had installed. It's hard to find a good balance between keeping the streams engaging and the KZbin video good quality. I really I hope I'll be able to grow as a creator and as a person in 2022, but sometimes life gets in the way too. It's a tough journey, but I'm positive about it. Thanks for all the help you've given me so far Eljay!

[@clandorangaming]

Not gonna lie, as I'm still getting used to even having folks in my chat, I often get too stuck in the game and forget to interact with my chat. I've been working on that and have noticed a difference in how many chatters/followers choose to stay or leave my streams. Really enjoy the advice you give, can't thank you enough.

[@Eeowna]

I feel like this is why the chant feature IS SO GOOD! I managed to get it and try it out, and a lot of people use the chant as their first message, and after that feel comfortable to talk!

[@StreamScheme]

Just rub in that they won’t give me chants then okay

[@CaptainRumface]

What are chants?

[@MagicalGirlVtuber]

I truly appreciate your videos man, I seriously need help with engagement in my chat and I need help with my streaming in general. Your videos are super duper helpful and literally anyone who wants to become a streamer should definitely check you out. I truly take your advice into consideration.

[@StreamScheme]

Thanks for the kind words! #earlygang

[@xxargonautxx9790]

Thank you so much for this. Finally got affiliate and actually have core members that chat that aren’t my real life friends. These are things i’ll focus on to improve my channel and grow a community for my channel to join and have fun. I do have goals to why i wanted to stream and will stick to them. Not gonna take the easy road.

[@craziegirlievods6241]

Honestly so glad I found this. I’ve been streaming for a bit and this is helping to build a minuscule community. Thank you so much! I’m slowly increasing my viewer count

[@angrybunny3878]

im an incredibaly small streamer, its been very hard to grow but this has motivated me to try and be more engaging. i always flick to my chat and talk to anyone knew whilst i play my games. i will be honest, it does disharten me sometimes when im playing games and someone comes into my chat telling me to k**l myself. i kaugh it off but i think thats also a very hard thing to deal with as someone whose trying to grow on the platform, but other than that its such a nice community to be apart of and im so proud to be here and to be able to stream. this was ana amazing video and keep it up man

[@sweetlylorelei]

When it comes to a quiet chat with lots of viewers, it may seem discouraging, but in fact that's not truly the case. I know, right? I think it's a very cool thing. I'd love to know where they come from but chances are they'll be back for more. When chat goes by too fast and you don't acknowledge them enough (if you are genuinely a person who actually cares about others) it becomes pretty difficult because you don't want people to feel left out, but they're there to support you for a reason, and you'd be thankful that they stuck around. It's amazing how sooner or later somebody will come up to you and tell you what they think and what keeps them interested in your streams. Never forget about them. It helps you grow, one tiny step at a time.

[@DraluckA]

Ever since watching your vids, I've been going around to a ton of different streamers, big and small to see how others handle their chats & content. They dont always do everything said, as different people handle it differently, but ive still seen everything you have said been implemented one way or another. Tldr: You and your vids are amazing, and i cant wait to see what vid you make next.

[@StreamScheme]

Who’s been your favourite so far that you’ve looked at?

[@DraluckA]

@@StreamScheme Thats a tough question, but a good question. Ive highly enjoyed most of the ones ive seen but if i had to drop some names, id probably go with the ones i get to watch the most. Big streamers: Ryukhar & Nuxtaku Medium streamers: kitsunespirit & Keinanate Small streamers: Dollvt & Horiseiza Theres been tons of others but these are the ones I get to watch and enjoy watching.

[@Banana_39]

Wow! This couldn't have come out at a better time. This has been bothering me for a couple weeks now!! I've noticed chat always died down once I started playing games and it's worried me so much, but I'm happy to hear it's natural!! I always seem to get new viewers during gaming, who then become regulars and talk a lot during my chatting segments, so it's been a bit confusing what works! Thanks so much as always

[@StreamScheme]

Lots of creators go through the same worries!

[@woodchuckgaming426]

Hi!! I have watch more then half of your videos in the last week, preparing myself for my future streaming plans. I’ve only gone live once on twitch and a few times on KZbin. That being said, I took the time and spent more then a few hours getting my twitch page ready and looking professional. I just want to say that the content you are dropping here has help me learn and grow as a creator more then you know!! Thank you!! Keep it up!! I look forward to the next video!!

[@_decoded_]

Thanks you so much for the wonderful tips! I was finally able to hit affiliate today after only streaming for less than two weeks! I couldn’t have done it without your videos!

[@CodyHollis21]

I knew you would, but glad the video ended with the reminder of lurkers. I try to randomly just sneak a thank you in to the lurkers on occasion. Because it really is the home base of viewership! If anybody reading this has trouble with topics, there are books and sites out there with plenty of thought provoking questions! I'm a motor mouth that can talk any topic, but wanted some channel point ideas. I have a Dad Joke book. A Would You Rather book. And a What If book. Usually somebody redeems one and then it creates a waterfall. We actually ended up in a pretty heated debate a couple weeks back about if you'd rather a pet dragon or pet unicorn. All while I was doing a Stone Cold Steve Austin impression for a more expensive redemption. Sometimes the questions flop but we get into some ridiculous topics and it's always really fun to see a first time chatter (thank you twitch for that update) getting involved in one of those topics!

[@thumbtacos4307]

I have always been blown away by your ability to catch everybody’s first hello. I find myself in a similar boat though on Facebook. Chat is blowing up but my concurrent viewers has been flat.

[@DiotheDrummer]

So much of your content has helped me blaze a path with Twitch. Before I started streaming, I had never been on twitch, so I’m learning how twitch works as a creator and a consumer to be part of the culture. Thanks Eljay, I really appreciate all your wisdoms :)

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

I started Twitch 2 weeks ago. Took 13 days to make affiliate, I build experimental guitars. So much to learn, coming from yt. Emotes, never expected to need them this soon. Thanks for the tips. They work.

Eljay! You glorious man! Ty so much for all the content and hard work you put into these videos! I fell victim to putting individual chatters over what I was trying to do on stream. It effects the play and fellow streamers so much. It's a fine balance and I feel I'm getting better at it. Definitely a balancing act that takes time to master.

[@ramen_xl]

As always, some things im already applying and some things I need to start doing! Thank you! I'm coming up on 1 month streaming on Twitch.

I love your tips for streamers I've been using them to help get more viewers like earlier today when I was streaming someone chatted and got a conversation till the end of the stream so you should be talking about the game or what you are doing whilst streaming. But I haven't explored my twitch page that is something I have to expand on. I really do thank you for your tips.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

I always engage every chatter that says something in the chat. It really does make them want to come back.

I stream since the 28th December 2021 and notived that i had regular lurkers which kinda made me happy. Which made me even happier was that at my first stream I had 1 person who stayed the whole 4 hours and chatted wsith me. Even now i still remember him and am super happy and point him out when I see him in chat. smth that made me happy as well was, in my stream last sunday, one of the long time lurkers wrote something in the chat and I feld somewhat proud of making them feel comfortable enough to finally chat, that made my day, really

[@kaydengoodrich6443]

Hey, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the type of content you're providing. I've wanted to start streaming for a couple years now but I've just never known when or how to start. It's Intimidating!! And when I asked other content creators a lot of them sort of got offended and acted as if they needed to gatekeep the information. So finding your channel has really helped me a lot with the learning process, and helped me gain some self confidence along the way. My goal is never to be some big famous streamer I really just wanted a way to interact with the community and have fun playing games and also build myself up a little bit too cause I've always been introverted and a little camera shy... anyways I just wanted to say I really appreciate you and the content. 😊

I get not streaming in discord calls but honestly it's helped me a lot. I'm good at talking to others, but not so much myself and when I'm sitting at 3 lurkers and no one is talking it's either I discord call or my lurkers try to find out if I have a voice. haha I do have a defen/mute for discord i hit EVERY single time someone says something to me in chat it's just.. extremely rare anyone does.

A big thing that used to make me nervous was starting a stream and not having anyone join initially. I set up a channel point reward for 1 point that is only redeemable once per stream that just says “first”, it’s really funny to watch my community try and fight over it!

Discord calls can bolster chat if you do it right. It helps if the other people in call also see/respond to chat and sometimes requires a bit of extra work from moderators, but it's definitely worth it when done right. I've especially seen collaborations with the right people really work it's magic in this regard.

Nice video as always! Yeah true, the offline network and content seems like the meta as a content creator.

[@Serilia]

On the discord call with friends advice: it's quite the opposite in my experience, but that's due to the specifics of how we do them. My streamer friends and I are all in a niche game mode and will often jump into a call with each other with the idea of helping out with the stream. The co-host talks with the streamer but also interacts with chat. It's particularly helpful since our game mode is not friendly with reading chat, while playing so the cohost can act as a human talk to speech. But then again, I guess it is specific to our circumstances as not everyone enjoy sitting in a stream as a glorified assistant so cohosting could be a drag for them. (The game is Hardspace Shipbreaker and we play the RACE mode, basically a speedrun of the game in case you were wondering) OH! And bonus; cohosting has earned me several follows because people will often follow my friend streaming and then myself in the same beat

The open ended questions I LOVE to use them, but to me they work best with foods, like "Do you like ketchup on pizza or you are a normal person"? Ketchup lovers and haters HAVE TO comment, it helps a lot in boring parts, like grinding or just lost where to go. Oh and the naming of pokemon i did it with monster hunter stories, I made a giveaway to every egg batch to viewers name the monsters. These tips are VERY helpful, you should listen this guy
