I actually have to say thank you so much for this video. I've been streaming about 4 and a half years on Twitch with minimal channel growth nowadays, and it's nice to see a video that explains why these things could potentially be happening, sometimes it doesn't always come down to it being the lack of entertainment you're providing. So thank you for the tips :) Regained a bit of my confidence.

I’m thankful that you’re here with us and teaching. I appreciate everything you do for us (the viewers) and the effort you put in each video. Even since day one.

[@FerretBomb]

Good information! I'd probably rank 'set a schedule' higher on the list though. Also, I'd add "don't run too high a bitrate" as a tip. Even if Twitch's max recommended rate is now 6mbps, unless you have transcodes available, it can and will cripple your stream's growth to run anywhere near that. You have to bear your viewers' connections in mind too, after all. If someone comes into your 1080p@60fps 6mbps stream and just buffers like crazy, they aren't going to even say anything... they'll just leave, and go to the next stream. I have to disagree with a couple of these tips though. 4:50 - Absolutely incorrect. You only need to avoid clipping (hitting the very top of the mixer, so the colored dots turn white). The higher your microphone volume, including well into the red, the better. Ever get BLASTING LOUD ads? It isn't that the ads are over-loud, it's that streamers following this advice are running their audio mix *far* too quiet. 5:50 - Outdated info on capture. Game Capture is preferable, but Window Capture is almost as fast. Screen/Monitor Capture is only slow under Windows 7; 8 and above it's just as fast as Window Capture. It should still be avoided to exercise greater control over what you actually show on-stream; it's not uncommon for newbies to doxx themselves, flash porn on screen, or reveal other confidential information accidentally because they were lazy and used a screen capture.

[@hyperion2189]

This is one of the best videos you've ever done. Great job, man. This covers pretty much everything you need to know about streaming in one convenient video. Of all the tips, I'd say #41 is one of the most important. Restream can do wonders for helping new streamers finding the platform best for them. Twitch is not for everyone. I've seen plenty of streamers who struggle on Twitch go over to something like Mixer and grow much faster. #48 is my favorite. STOP STREAMING FORTNITE!!!

Thanks for all these tips! Even as a KZbin streamer, a lot of these are important! I was wondering if maybe one day you'll make one specifically for KZbin streamers? Oh and if you'll allow me I will give a tip too: In scenes such as at 7:48, mirroring your camera makes it look like you're looking at the game, instead of away from it :)

Holy **** Dude. I can not thank you enough. Your advice helped me so much. My channel in the last year grew +1k followers and +30 average. I come back now to thank you for these tips some being so small yet made a giant difference. Writing goals was my biggest help. Id set stream then spend 10-20 minutes swapping between games. Having the goals and achievments for the week allowed me to have much more consistency in my stream. This is not a promotion for my channel so I won't post it. I just wanted to thank you for what you've taught here. I am now part of a stream team and slowly growing my channel!

All amazing tips man. Thank you!

Honestly these are fantastic tips. Anyone starting out listen to these tips they will defiantly help!

[@Foyfluff]

Nice tips! I like the idea of doing 100, means even if you think you've heard it all before there's bound to be something new and different in there. I've never heard someone recommend exercising before a stream starts, I'd worry that I'd be too knackered to put on a good show, but I've definitely had those focus days and it sounds like something I should try.
