Beginner Twitch Livestream Tips/Tricks!

[@HeyyItsDalee]

Definitely think the worst thing I do is doubt myself. It's disheartening when you're not growing or gaining viewers, but there's always the enjoyment of whatever you're doing now and the hope of tomorrow. :p

[@TheNaway18]

DaleDystopiq This is exactly what I'm doing on my new Twitch channel. I'm doing it for the entertainment. I figured, hey, I'm going to be playing this game anyways, might as well stream to *possibly* get a viewer or two!

[@HeyyItsDalee]

TheNaway18 Absolutely. That's was the entire point to me first wanting to stream. I've slowly been raising a community and it's great that we're just all having laughs over what I'm doing. One of the most rewarding and greatest feelings in the world. What types of games are you going through? Wouldn't mind hopping on someday.

[@TheNaway18]

I've been playing a lot of Ark: Survival Evolved. It's fairly new but you've probably heard of it. It's been pretty fun to do. Also, my Twitch is under the name Synocity which is my new self on the internet. What's yours, and what do you play? I can probably pop on over as well!

[@HeyyItsDalee]

TheNaway18 I..actually haven't heard of it. I'll check it out ahah. My Twitch is under HeyyItsDale, and I've been doing a lot of Dark Souls recently, though I just started a bllind Fallout: New Vegas playthrough. No idea what I'm doing or where I'm going lol. Used to do some Legend of Mana speedruns too, which I try to fit in on the weekends when I have time!

[@TheNaway18]

Sweet! Sounds good!

[@The13thSword]

Thank god, someone who FINALLY talks straight about this subject & stays on topic. I'm an older guy (50+) who's been looking into doing streaming & it's been VERY difficult to get straight & complete answers on what you need to know. Well done sir. Kudos to you & your folks, who I am sure had a bunch to do with your good attitude & non-bs approach. Impressive. My thanks.

David Bauer but ugly people can get it

[@mod_123_]

What I like about you is that you actually explain and are mature unlike most cancerous KZbinrs

[@seansmith3222]

jim i think you should make a vlogging channel you already have a following and i think youd be great your quite interesting and you can confidently talk in front of the camera

[@JimSauceonRS]

Just like IRL vlogs?

[@seansmith3222]

yeah man show your day to day when you get up what you eat i think it would be great you got an act for it :) been on youtube for a while i would suggest making another video if you watch like christianguzman a bodybuilder but his day in the life vlogs hes taken us with him and weve seen him grow and you really get a personal connection without actually connecting and he shows us his house his mum what hes eating his girlfreind his new gym the gym hes moving into hes prepared to meet people and train irl etc it just bring fan closer and i think youd be good for it

[@JimSauceonRS]

sean smith Haha I love him man. Maybe ill test a few out on this channel and see how it goes.

[@seansmith3222]

[@gariantsaucey1046]

Does jim read all the gay comments?

[@Sweetzerlandia]

Everytime I want to get back into streaming I come to this video for help. Such a life saver. Thank you!

[@xDextrazex]

Thanks for the guide man, also thats for the encouragement you gave throughout the video, it really gave me confidence to start streaming and video making in the future

[@BryanLeeDavidson]

This helps me allot. I am just starting out streaming and this really encouraged by this. Thank you Jim Sauce.

[@VertexEspada]

thanks for this Jim. I just started streaming myself. it was you that inspired me to start stream. See you when you're next live and I look forward to more help guides and tutorials :)

[@LittleNii]

"It's like women... *scrunches eyes* nah, not even going to get into that" Already like this channel!

[@David-ob1so]

Let me tell you the story of Da7acoMAN. He was a younglad with a dream. To become a full time streamer. This young lad was also a college student. He also decided to leave his console brothers during the cripto mining wars. Due to his horrible timing he overpaid for a computer. He decided to not drop out of college because he got financial aid that could be used to support his streaming career. He did this and now is about to become a nutritionist without even knowing because all his focus was on his stream. So what we learned was be like Da7acoMAN, follow your dreams and you can become a nutritionist. Or go watch him on twitch, he doesn't want to become a nutritionist.

[@zacktedder4484]

Excellent video. I'm hoping to have a stream up and running in the next few months and this helped a lot. You keep doing what you do man.

[@krow3940]

This was very helpful. You made me think to check my up speed (4.12 damnit, so close) and it made me realize that all of my weird pagany stuff in my room wouldn't even need to be moved because it would spark questions, as would my long ass hair. Thank you for the advice.

[@xJawsQuickScoper]

Thank you! I plan on starting soon I really appreciate this. You earned a sub. I like the motivation. You're a wonderful youtuber and streamer!

[@biemanskiller]

You just motivated me to stream and make videos again. You sir, are awesome :-D

[@ethanwasme4307]

Thank you so much for this jim, was so happy when you said you would do these vids, much appreciated

[@oldnerdreviews]

Good stuff! You covered a lot and it's appreciated. I'm a long time KZbinr and a fairly new Twitch streamer. With everything going on with KZbin right now, it's time to spread the old wings and branch out into new territory. ;)

[@SchviftyFive]

This was the most helpful video I've watched about twitch!! Thanks for posting! :)

[@maryen1559]

This helped me so much, I've been researching what type of set up I should have for twitch and all I see is "you need this much money to get all of this, or your stream won't be good" type of thing... But thanks for this video!

[@deckmageccg3561]

Dude, awesome & informative video!! Thank you for wealth of info!! Keep them coming!!

[@238luney]

hey man very good advice thanks for that....the way you put things in a clear and helpful manner really helps!!

[@JsMethod]

Thank you for the video man! I got really discouraged after I built up about 20 consistent viewers and 100 followers who all enjoyed watching me play Rocket League, when I switched to WoW everyone left. I haven't gotten a new follower in over month (I stream everyday). This video made me want to get back at it at 110%, I also decided to try to upload twitch highlights and use my twitter :D

[@JsMethod]

Also, I really liked the part about you being under 18, I am 13 xD

[@vidyagames8684]

[@THEBR0CEPH]

[@Gormsy]

Where did you get that T-shirt?

[@alexbacarella]

Dude you're awesome! Thanks for the vid and best of luck 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@GhostPhriek]

Thanks for the video! I had no idea you were a RuneScape streamer. I'm looking into starting my own stream, but I don't think I have the face/voice for it. Do you think it's worth trying anyway?

[@KidBalo]

great video man really helped me out! subbed

[@jblask2]

Glad I was never in streaming for the money. I just love talking about games with people. Thank you for your insight. I thought you brought up some good points.

[@CherryQuenchGears]

I can see the logic behind what you say with "don't go into it for money." However, I disagree with this concept, but perhaps it is just my case or my mentality. I'm looking more to make a career out of this. Making bank isn't my mindset, but rather using videos and streaming to have fun and to live a happy life, and then to continually give back to others to help them reach that happiness as well. The money aspect is going to be the means just to survive so I can continue to help others and continue to be happy. Other than that, money is of no value to me. The content ideas I have and wish to start are for the sake of entertaining others and doing things I feel are original and would be fun to make on a daily basis. Sure, making stuff that people want to see is undoubtedly going to go into that, because for the last 7 years I've made stuff purely for me and a middle finger to the public, and they didn't do much. There's no impact, no feedback, nothing. I think it's a matter of sitting down, digging deep in your thoughts, and finding out ideas that you would want to do that you also think others would want to see. And perhaps that's the silver line I want to ride as far as going into it "for the money." Sorry for a winded response, but this constantly comes up as something foolish to do, and I feel that it is incorrect if given the right mindset. I suppose I'll have to try it and see if my thoughts orient more towards money or towards what I see that my audience and myself want to do.

[@blaqtitan3368]

I agree with this comment WHOLE HEARTEDLY. What you're saying here are the exact feelings I have going into this. (Streaming)

[@GmoneyStylez]

i like your attitude man got a sub here thanks for the tips bro!!!!

[@Ruwalk]

Thanks for the supportive words sir. I will keep at it until I am successful and beyond

[@BitAngel91]

Thanks for the tips, I honestly trying to work hard to become a youtuber/streamer. I really love making new friends and being silly but most importantly me.

[@projectmangler3736]

New to twitch, great advise. Thank you for taking the time.

[@antalliew4857]

Great video! I realise it's old but I'm entirely late to the party haha. Very informative!

[@Timmitucker]

thanks for a good guide for streaming, i was thinking about doing streams and this helps out

[@OllieGoesLive]

I assume you have a schedule. But was just wondering how you came up with your schedule. Did you pick specific days because they suited you and worked around you. Or did you pick specific days because of how many people where watching / streaming a certain game. Thank you for you advice so far!

[@abliteration5982]

Hey Will thanks for the tips very helpful! Just a quick question. What software do you use to edit you videos on KZbin and that sort of stuff!?

[@kingchip2177]

very educational and straight to the point thanks.

[@andyyu7351]

This is the most information video that I saw in the past :D I am trying right now and hope I can be a successful streamer :D like 100-200 people when I stream and it will be a dream for me :)

[@verastoic]

Hey dude, ty for your explanations, i'm really up to a twitch career, fact is, idk what to do with my future, or actually i don't really like things that much but i feel like i am capable and ready for making a living out of streaming on a daily basis and i feel like i'd love doing this more than anything so ty for your vid, rly helpful, i'm almost 19, hoping i'll make it work, keep it up :d

[@DCrampton7]

Thanks for this, I actually had a friend call my stream a joke and it broke me but now I'm just going to do it and anyone who doubts me can screw off

[@thehaffytaffy]

Great advice regarding mindset. So true 💯

[@TechManAustinGaming-Twitchtv]

You Were Right About OBS... I Use It All The Time.... It was Hard to Set Up @ First... But Then I Realzed Something... I Didnt Need All Those fancy Settings The Tutorals said I Needed... i Just needed 2 put in my twitch stream key, set up my mic 4 obs... set up the screen captures & i was done!

[@NemesisRE399]

This was pretty helpful dude. Thank you.

[@jordanclement8333]

I liked this video, thanks man! Im going to subscribe now!

[@petrvnucko406]

Best tip is don't do it for the money! (y)

[@staaanoziy-8060]

Petr Vnučko what if people do it to make money? And it IS their job?

[@MrVulcanator]

StaaanOziy - I think he's saying, don't go into it hoping to make money.

[@Kiwinnit]

Although you say you don't NEED all of this fancy equipment I'd certainly recommend getting a good mic. Always helps. And making sure your stream doesn't lag.

[@nielevans2947]

How to do you get your stream seen? That's my biggest problem right now.

[@gabenye3251]

social media, and retweet twitter accounts,

[@lunarcat3283]

Also twitch friends

[@staaanoziy-8060]

Niel Evans Stream everyday and be good at the game you're streaming? Isn't it obvious

[@TheNaway18]

Anyone think at the end he sounded like Shia? "Just do it, don't let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough, just do it!"

[@Kobi]

Really positive! But, i have a question on my computer, i have been in the call of duty community and have switched to fully produce runescape videos. I have about 1,500 subscribers and 100 twitch followers (just started twitch sunday) but sadly my download speed is 12.5 and up is .92 should i get a new provider becuase when i stream the video glitches and skips and lags, but the audio is fine. Is this a computer problem or internet problem, i have a 2tb, 8gb ram hp pavillion from best buy aswell and i just really need your opinion or help because you have seriously influenced me and i feel like you can help me out. Please Respond! :) THANK YOU

[@Matthigast]

.92 is too low you'd have to stream in like 360p to have a stable stream with that internetspeed. the info of 2tb memory and 8gb ram is kinda useless, it's the graphics card and processor that's important (to find that press windowskey + R and type "dxdiag") to stream RuneScape I'd recommend at least an intel i3 / amd A8 processor and a GTX 650 / radeon R7 graphics card. Hope this helps :)

[@Matthigast]

***** you stream runescape with that, because that seems impossible to maintain at over 360p 15 fps max...

[@Kobi]

well i got new internet now and i stream fine at 720p at 59.94 FPS but i have been getting hit off for the past 3 days and its frustrating

[@Kobi]

i just need a new proccessor because im maxing out my CPU within seconds of turning on xsplit

[@Hypervynilate]

Yo Kobi inbox or me or skype me bro

[@vasilzhiliev6057]

I love you, you inspire me.

[@markangel2919]

[@evildarc0]

I like you keeping things real keep it up

[@XIsleTheWanderer]

My wife and I decided we want to start streaming. We use our PS4s and don't have cameras. I'm pretty weird and softspoken, and she is a bit more outspoken. I want to make good livestreams, but I feel like I'm too weird/awkward. Do you have any tips or advice?

[@MisterFeltz]

Great tips! I'm starting out on both Twitch and KZbin. However, I am putting Twitch as my priority because I've been uncomfortable with myself on camera and my voice on microphone, but now my confidence has shot up in the last couple of years I plan to get used to Twitch, I'd like 20+ dedicated followers who talk to me on chat, money doesn't matter for me.. One day I'll get into making videos on youtube for gaming.

[@bakum4tsu]

Nice video and tips man, thanks I will try to apply them in the future ;)

[@lordfoxx2994]

Jim, this video was awesome and super helpful! I'm a stay-at-home dad of sorts and enjoy my games but just got ready to take it to the next level with Twitch and KZbin. This was really uplifting and informational. It seems so easy but it discouraging at first to try to get views and followers when you have no base. This helped me out. After implementing these for just a couple of days I already have almost 100 views and a handful of followers. You're the man.

[@mathclasshummingbird4934]

2 questions. When will the KZbin tips and tricks go on? And what did you use to create the animation in the beginning of the video?

[@Firmbie]

Thank you.its what I needed to hear right now.For a very small channel we can get very discouraged..So thank you

[@terasage6539]

I just started streaming and I set it up to where twitch saves my broadcasts temporarily. Then I go back and highlight them for a permanent save. I also did I test stream to see whether or not I should turn my mic or or down and to test the autosave. I stream on my ps4 and I have a 8-32 mb upload. Thanks for the tips really gonna help

[@joshcurtis7524]

This was such a helpful video :D thanks a million, dropped a sub and a follow :)

[@mrshenanigan8367]

I like the intro. I didn’t know anybody our age (assuming you’re somewhat around my age) still liked Eminem. I grew up listening to him. Great video too. I’m trying to start a Clone Hero stream. It’s not going so well. I’ve maxed at 5 viewers on my first stream and maxed at 3 viewers on my last one. (I’ve only done 2). I don’t know how to get the mic on my SteelSeries Arctis 3 to work with the stream and I have no webcam and my internet speeds are pretty bad. I also live away from the city so I can’t really get better internet speeds until I move out. I guess the best thing to do is to keep trying? I don’t really know what to do at this point. Oh, and my PC isn’t the greatest but it somewhat gets the job done. I spent $800 on it used and it has an AMD FX 8350 processor and I believe a Radeon r9 380 gpu and 32 gb of ram which is stupid but I didn’t know at the time.

[@FreyaMaluk]

thank you for this video... I needed this...

[@fantasyprincess92]

Hey Jim Ive been trying to get the courage to start streaming but I just feel like I wont be good at it I guess. How did you get into the mind set to start streaming and making videos? :)

[@banditoverlord5231]

Thanks it help allot, Keep up the great work

[@TheRSGuy]

Will, KZbin changed the terms of service, and they don't allow tagging in the description anymore (just letting you know, wouldn't want you to get into shit for it) Keep up the vids :D

[@nothinbutnet3307]

Just watched this video. Very helpful! Had to Sub to you!

[@iGh0stlyGh0st]

Great video. Helped a lot.

[@Bimmee6829]

[@joshmark111]

... what kind of blinds do you have covering your windows? those are sick!

[@cristag1568]

Yeahhh, your voice is super nice XD Really tho, very helpful video, thank you! Those logitech cams are great.

[@Glitchfaction]

how do you get people to initially check out your stream? I can stream for an hour and never get anyone to stop by so I have no one to interact with lol

[@entova]

Glitchfaction share it

[@_______2541]

Glitchfaction if your streaming in twitch and use steam make your name like twitch.tv/yourtwitch name it pulls viewers.

[@Indicaprince]

Very informative. Thanks for making this video I'm gonna try alot of your suggestions. My problem is the initial getting followers. What about giveaways and whatnot? good idea?

[@yaguking]

i'm starting to stream on twitch, and this video i found helpful. i'm mainly going to be streaming horror games and League of Legends videos. thank you for the helpful tips

[@Rythumz]

Thoughts on streaming with an Xbox one ?

[@kenn-fucius]

[@momcraft785]

Thanks for this. Super helpful.

[@CoachSoti]

Great video, full of info!

[@AmitAshar72]

Hey! Great video. I have a question, the other day i was trying to stream using xsplit gamecaster. I initially had 1080p set in the settings but when i hit the stream button, my stream settings automatically changed to 720p. Can you help me figure it out why it happened?

[@NerdyGamingDad]

When you aren't partnered on twitch you can only stream 720p at 30fps

[@hdelectrix738]

Hey, quick question... At what follower milestone do you decide to actaully take twitch streaming to a new level, such as perchising new and imporved equipment and such?
