How do you set OBS to record your videos for tutorials ? Do you have a routine o some setups we could use or try ?

[@konquezt]

Would be cool if your site touched on other streaming platforms like Trovo.live. Been out for almost a year with steady growth. I like to refer to it as "Baby Twitch" as it has the look and feel down but hasn't been corrupted yet.

Thanks for this, I think it'll help me push to stream some more because it's something I've really got some passion for

[@xsnube5676]

you know, things are going slow but using some of the things you say in your videos ive managed to achieve a pretty big goal (for me anyway), in a stream today someone stopped by and they stayed for 3 hours whilst being active in chat. Despite not really getting many viewers, just having that one guy be so active and involved felt amazing and has already improved my confidence in what i stream. Thank you Eljay for all your tips i can't wait to see where this journey leads me

[@StreamScheme]

Sounds like a big first step, Snube! Keep it up! :)

[@xsnube5676]

@@StreamScheme i looked in the VOD to see how long it was and what i was doing to 'keep' them staying, and it was 3 hours and 4 minutes and just keeping them involved almost as if they were in discord with me, if thats not proof of how helpful you and your videos are then idk what is. Thank you for all the work you do in helping us smaller streamers, please carry on helping people grow

[@dantess2693]

It's the interaction with your community through chat that really lights a fire under you, isn't it ? It's just a lovely thing to have someone hang out and chill while watching you enjoy what you do !

[@CatMuto]

You know, I love my lurkers. I love people lurking on my stream. But I have learned that if you *mute the stream* it DOESN'T count you as a viewer anymore! So, while I technically have someone talking in chat and 3 people lurking, it only says I have 1 Viewer because the lurkers ended up muting my stream. Nothing wrong with lurking to help someone out, hey, I do it a lot! I'm doing it right now! I have a stream open: I am not watching, but I have the stream *with volume* just at a minimum. To keep 'my view' there. Just had to rant about that a bit. DON'T MUTE STREAMS, people! Mute the tab, sure, but not the stream. You are hurting streamers with that...

[@xavierking6639]

So true

[@unknownlegion5996]

Just turn the volume to 0 on your phone or pc then it'll still count you as a viewer

[@AlwayzGeekedUp]

Cheers mate

[@skwerleyz]

My man, yours is the first "how to stream" content I've actually found meaningful, realistic, and useful. Every other creator I've found that makes these types of videos seem to skip a lot of things. After watching hours and hours of other people giving tips that assume every streamer gets 50 random in and out viewers every time they go live, I became exhausted. I get disheartened after trying for a year straight and making very little progress, but your tips are focused on the actual personal aspects of streaming and it's incredibly meaningful. You say motivation is "shit" but I gotta say, the information I've found in your videos has been INCREDIBLY meaningful and helpful to me. I'm just another streamer and I don't hold any expectations of greatness for my content. I've just always wanted to do it because I love gaming, I love talking to people, and I love being part of a community. And your content has helped remind me of that, and keep me grounded. Thank you for that!

[@Senpatriarch]

Getting into a habit of streaming has helped me so much it’s not even funny! Motivation is great for the short term, but making streaming a recurring habit has made me enjoy it so much more. Having a mindset of positivity helps a lot as well, that would be my one tip!

[@StreamScheme]

You got this! Routine destroys motivation every time!

[@gumgasm3561]

Thank you so much for this video, it's a really important topic. I realized that it's been hard for me to be motivated with streaming recently, saw your video, cleaned my room and got back into the swing of things! I forgot about cleaning my room because I was focused so much on my streaming. Thank you again for this video.

[@virtuofficial1977]

Literally the reason why I started streaming, and what keeps me going: A friend streamed before me, he encouraged me to do what I've always wanted to do.. As I enjoy gaming. I wanted to share my gameplay, my experiences and general chit chat to those who pop in. I just lacked the self confidence and was worried I wouldn't be able to do it due to me having a young family. Yet, I started it. Now, Thanks to it, 95 followers, 5 subscribers, average viewers of between 5 and 9, and I've met a group of other streamers and we enjoy streaming as a group! It gives us such variety and social talks during our streams. I love doing it now! I'm still the quietest one out of the group but still growing and having fun! Still working on more solo content, but I've started certain series that I personally enjoy to help me Branch out in content specially towards those who are new to the series.

Many successful people I listen to say the same thing. Motivation is a temporary thing. Discipline and creating habits is what builds your day. Everything is a habit, it's up to you on whether or not they are good or bad habits. Of course, your final tip is amazing. It's hard for me to not think about streaming at all. Being new to it all, my interest is high in it and my mental investment. Definitely something else I need to work on.

[@The_Keh27]

For me the motivation is an on/off kinda thing. I tend to suffer from depression and some days its worse than others. Sometimes I'll be all stoked to stream, but then near the scheduled time I'll be like "Do I really want to spend the energy and time re-arranging everything to set up, hang up the divider curtain, etc if no one's there anyway?" That's why I'm thinking of just streaming whenever for the time being instead of a schedule. If viewers arrive, then schedule around the day/time that worked.

[@CatMuto]

As someone also suffering from depression, I understand that feeling of "do I really have to stream...?" on some days.

[@MrPython1996]

Honestly fellow Aussie brother. Your videos have given me a lot of insight in to streaming and while I still have a shit tonne to learn, watching your videos is constantly progressing my knowledge and helping me move forward. It took me 3yrs of on off streaming to reach 50 followers. After 3 weeks of a schedule and regular streaming I hit 80. I wouldn't have set a schedule or looked for unsaturated games if it wasn't for you so thanks for these videos. I won't let you down when I stream haha

[@mooscue]

I've been researching to become better with streams using some of the guides from yourself and others. Some of these things I've found I'm already doing but it never hurts to continue betterment of myself. I think at the moment I have 7 or so pages on the notes I've compiled from your videos alone. (This is excluding the other videos I've been watching.) I struggled for a long long time with liking my voice in general so watching my VODS at first was a bit tough, I found it was the only thing I wasn't doing, but was necessary for my continued growth. At least from my perspective I've found that I even find myself entertaining and even enjoy listening to myself on stream since I can go from chill to hype at the drop of a hat. While I still have a plethora of insecurities, I wanted to take the moment to thank you personally for your knowledge on streaming and trying to give others the tools to help themselves better their content. I'm still trying everyday to critically analyze my content to make my audio or my jokes or bits etc better and I'll continue to support you and your endeavors. I've yet to catch a stream of yours yet, but hopefully I will soon! Keep doing what you're doing and make sure to take breaks and stuff since from what I see you seem to also be a workaholic. Cheers and have a good day!

I started this after your last video, the question but. But I also found/ made up like 50 would you rather questions and I ask chat the questions during the stream to keep them engaged with the stream. It also seems to work really well with new views. It is breaking down that first barrier and giving them something to say, instead of them trying to find something to say to me.

[@StreamScheme]

Exactly the concept behind my QOTD commands! Love it!

[@mokasips]

Hi! Really good video as always, but I do have a question; you've mentioned beforehand that it's better to stream fewer times a week and prepare better content for those few days, but you mentioned in this video that part of your success was the fact that you streamed nearly every single day for a year. Obviously, I understand that the more you stream the more you get pushed up by twitch, but there is an obvious issue of "my content needs to be good". I realize this is a really hard question to answer properly, but how would you recommend finding a good balance between streaming constantly, and having your content actually be good?

[@Wilhelm9218]

I feel this so much... streaming to 3-5 people gets taxing. I love doing it, but it's hard to sometimes find the time to do everything that goes along with wanting to be a professional streamer when I need another (or more than one..) full-time job to pay the bills, manage a house, and balance time with my family/husband/pets/etc...

"Hey Mate, I don't really want to keep talking about that, I want the stream to be a fun place for people to come hang out! Sorry!" just be straight forward, polite, but firm with people like that. They'll always be people like it but its easier to push past it!

Hello, great video, very helpful.

Which is the most recommended ? Because Im afraid if I stream every weeks the same game that my audience get bored.

[@StreamScheme]

This is a tough one because I don't know your audience! BUT Are you seeing much Growth by doing something different each night of the week? How many of your followers from night 1 come back night 2 for something different and stick around/chat? Answering these questions is how you tell if what you are doing is working or not, if you are then you can continue but if most people aren't coming back you might want to consider being more consistent in the way you choose games. BUT, hey everyone is different! Good luck! Just my thoughts and what I noticed for myself when I streamed different stuff every night vs being consistent. Hope the content helps!

When screening sales candidates for hire it one of my signs I looks for in someone to actually be successful in a sales position. Streaming, is more sales related than most let on. Roleplaying and self dialogue really help cultivate self awareness with your tone, inflections, and even nonverbal communication. When done in a mirror or recorded with video or audio you can then personally review it. Then learn to highlight what you like and to note what you need to change or adjust.

we need to find those who disliked this and give them a hug.

[@StreamScheme]

I do agree with dislikes though! It just means I have to continue working hard to do the best I can for everyone :)

[@thumbtacos4307]

On KZbin do you place your videos under Howto/ Style or Educational? I’ve been wondering this for a while now.

[@nerovsdante666]

when i start out streaming should i stream in my native language or should i stream in english only?

[@Samblix]

What I'm struggling with is starting this with a full time job. I'm so worn out sometimes after working, I can't find the energy to stream or do the work needed.

[@TidbitTek]

Thanks for your content, got me motivated to create content!

As a former partner manager, we used to tell other people in the space when there were crappy people reaching out for sponsorship. I remember sitting in a bar for PAXEast, making fun of each others worst "sponsorship request".

[@mitsukoxlight]

Thank you for the video eljay :) Cutting down on the days I go live actually really helped me lock down a schedule and also plan for each stream. I gotta thank you for that tip! And I guess if my mum thinks I'm possessed at 3am talking to myself I guess I'll have to pin it on you.

[@StreamScheme]

Just tell her you talk to your imaginary friends at 3:33AM and she'll really love that I swear hahaha

[@fryingscotsman]

Hey there, Love the content guys, been really helpful and useful content for people like me trying to get started. Could you make a video of you setting up and entirely new channel from scratch, showing you importing overlays, setting up and troubleshooting common issues in OBS and setting up some basic modding? These are the issues I've encountered whilst trying to get my stream setup and looking professional. Apologies if you've already covered this in a video or across multiple. Keep it up!

[@StreamScheme]

Have a scroll through the channel I have videos about a lot of what you mentioned :)

[@LuciendaSky]

That 10-minute daily video thing is a golden idea. I'm totally going to do it.... probably... maybe... I'll think about starting it... tomorrow... maybe...

[@StreamScheme]

Hahaha It really helped me :)

[@tito12star]

4:18 what calendar is that?

[@edwardter5443]

6:55 ! Great video, but I have to cut short, I have to stream now

[@StreamScheme]

Hahahaha

[@littellgamer]

Give this man a Solo, he deserves it!! Jokes aside, amazing video man, i've been lacking motivation lately and this video will surely help me.

[@StreamScheme]

You got this, Littell :) Keep it up! Also, I cut all soft drinks! Haven't had any in days! Send help!

[@littellgamer]

@@StreamScheme Yeah, i know. That's why you deserve it. haha

[@Nerdyknightress]

So what you are saying is to use 'behavioural activation' 🤣 I'm a therapist and can confirm motivation is bullshit and THIS is the technique we use. I love this so much ❤ Gonna start applying work to streaming now byeee

[@FluffyGuyTTV]

You have a Chatbot for slobs but can you do a guide on StreamElements or is that the same thing?

[@StreamScheme]

No guides on StreamElements or Nightbot but maybe in the future!

[@sunrisereads1397]

Great advice, thank you !!

[@spoce_]

I’m going to try all of this 200%

[@StreamScheme]

Good luck!

[@BP-nz1ey]

hey question how can I set a bot in my chat that says that they can follow me?

[@StreamScheme]

Yep! I have two videos on cloudbot! The first one or older one will show how to do that!

[@ViggoVarken]

Hey eljay. If I become a affiliate is there a way to not run preroll ads? I would love to have channel points and stuff but dont want any preroll ads. Great vid btw!

[@StreamScheme]

Yep! I have a video about 7 crucial twitch tips on the channel, I cover it there! :)

[@MysteriousFigureMusic]

During the times that you're focusing on yourself or doing your own thing do you still script and record yourself?

[@StreamScheme]

Do you mean the 10 minute recordings I do daily? I’ll always do that.

[@thumbtacos4307]

Another great video dude!

[@StreamScheme]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@AFCSTORM]

thanks so much for the vid and info!

[@StreamScheme]

I just hope it is helpful! #earlygang!
