Bro… I’ve been watching you all week getting my twitch streaming started. It definitely was a pain in the ass but at the end of it all you came in the clutch. Wanna say thanx! ✊🏽👍🏽💪🏽

[@GamersnGains]

The average attention span for adults is 8.25 seconds. When watching your KZbin channel, it's from start to finish of the the video! 🔥 👏

[@cheeef]

Hi, as someone who's looking to get into streaming after buying my first capture card, I just want to thank you. Every time I've had a question about how to set something up, be that the cards themselves, how to pipe the audio, how to use headsets with them, and even Stream Desk Mobile it's always your videos that have popped up after searching. I must have watched 10 over the last fews days and all have been invaluable - couldn't have done it without your clear and concise delivery, thanks so much.

I LOVE MIDNIGHT MANS VIDEOS ALL OF HIS VIDEOS HELP but the best thing about the videos is the explanation. Kenny has the BEST explanation. My favorite videos are "How to setup live streaming with your Nintendo Switch" and the mobile stuff because I'm a mobile youtuber and i use capcut and I'm progressing though my content creation. Thanks to midnight man with the love and appreciation and the inspiring moments of this channel. Keep up the amazing work and keep helping other new comers with content creation to help people succeed in the youtube career. Thank you... By Ash.

[@collygaming08]

Amazing videos you got.. How do you compress the size of your videos before uploading. Mine takes a lot of size and I don't know how to cut it down

[@spin3tv]

@@collygaming08 it actually depends on what bit rate you export your videos. Lower bit rate = lower size

[@collygaming08]

@@spin3tv Thank you. The difference is not that different on capcut

Can we get a video on what young KZbinr should use? Like mics, cameras, etc.

[@dreadheadgaming3076]

Thank you very much for the amazing vid as usual. But that spot on yur sleeve by the water drove me nuts.😂 Great job though. I see da skills.🖤🤔🤔 Mighty clever. And easy thumbnail A #TeamA

What should I use to record for my Mac because the Mac I have is too old for obs studio

[@AYEDON314]

Waiting on my laptop to get here to use photopea thanks bro 💪

[@Viking_gamer19]

Thank you so much!

[@IslamicVerseOfficial01]

the most easiest tutorial ever seen on the internet Please Make an Other Video With Showing Advance Level Tricks

[@Inkllax]

for some reason it says that the size file of the thumbnail is bigger than 2mb even though I did the size that you did on the start of the video

[@GamingandMore95]

That's because the size he used is not correct and should not be used for uploading youtube thumbnails. He's giving a ton of bad advice in this video

[@brandonjly]

for those of ya that don’t know you go to File > Open & Place and your images should pop up

[@JuanVargas-nx6by]

Dude how do you get such crisp and clean Mac screen recording with that circular talking head overlay?

[@SlimeK.O]

you help me a lot with these tutorials thanks

[@uhemi09]

When I use the magnetic lasso and I hit copy and paste like you do, it just copies the entire image and pastes it. Basically duplicating the same image instead of cutting out what I want cut out

[@ThatIsJDE]

appreciate it bro

[@KYondric]

I got to remember to take a photo while playing I always forget lol

[@Call_mekiwi]

Just saved my life as just starting out and this is amazing any idea where I can get a call of duty render packs

[@gamer_dad1990]

The OBSBOT Tiny 2 camera isn’t just perfect for streaming but also for taking photos.

[@DaLoneRunner]

W video 🔥

[@KeelenMac]

You should definitely teach people how to use photopea cuz people will be confused like us

[@AvilezFn]

Hey i love the videos of yours and i have been watching you for a while but I have a question when i clip and edit a fortnite video on ps5 it’s bad quality when uploaded can you help please?

[@fmfan_YT]

Midnight question? When it comes to creating thumbnails for games is it best to put the title of the video in the thumbnail to or just pictures of what it has to do with in the video with a little bit of text without the title?

[@sneaky662]

brilliant video. thanks very much

[@bezz6985]

Men u vid are helpful so I subscribed❤

Should I get a capture card for high quality Fortnite screenshots?

[@Fiery_wrld]

Yea it’s 26 dollars

[@Nick-ul8rm]

Hey I’m interested in knowing if you could do a video on how to correctly setup audio to stream via OBS when using the Astro a50x headset and the Elgato 4KX capture card to a PS5. I can’t get the audio to come through to OBS without it sounding bad either to me or the viewers with everything I’ve tried so far and would love for you to do a video on this

[@NFSBeast2365]

thank you so much for the video!

[@MidnightMan]

You're so welcome!

[@adeelmangoman]

Bro, your avg watch time of these videos must be at full length. I'm sure of it.

[@KeelenMac]

Finally bro didn’t forget about that thumbnail tutorials. Definitely do basic stuff and tools for anyone getting confused using Photopea.

[@The_Underworld_Prince]

I just watched 1 of your ps5 streaming setup videos & I gotta know, can you use a USB mic with the controller mic muted?

[@BlueRigs658]

[@dhiphop17]

[@111kizZy]

Quick question what do you use to take your screenshots? Or how 😅

[@111kizZy]

Nevermind 😂

[@MidnightMan]

Haha all good! I also take screenshots using the short cut commands on my computer

[@zekerodriguez13]

you can sort through all google images via all PNGs by following these steps images > tools (to the right of "shopping,more") > color (right above all images) > transparent this is how I find all transparent images with EASE!

i’m having problems it isn’t working properly

[@DarthTabscat]

For me, its kinda the design of them that i struggle with

[@MidnightMan]

That’s where getting inspiration from others can help formulate your own thoughts on what to create. It has to clearly depict quickly what your video is about without being too over complicated.

[@DarthTabscat]

ohh ok, thanks bro👍👍

[@SoRomeoo]

Photos from iPhone upload blurry and super pixelated on photo pea. What can I do to fix?
