Does anyone who streams from console/P4 use a capture card? If so would you be willing to help me better understand that piece and how I can utilize it to improve my streaming? Any feedback, links, insight and time is appreciated. Thank you all
Avatar
@LifesDuality Basically if you just stream direct from PS4 it does that smaller screen puts your chat on the right and gives you a small camera box. If you use a capture card you can use any overlays and alerts you want. Make the stream yours. Just make sure you turn on HDCP or else nothing will show up lol. Most common mistake when someone uses a capture card on PS4 and they post here angry xD

LifesDuality 5/14/2020 1:05 PM
Lol so it works well and is worth having?
1:06 PM
I appreciate the prompt input. I’m not overly knowledgeable about tech so I’m still trying to educate myself on the product and my options

HDCP is a p4 setting?

Im a concert sound engineer and av tech. Ive shifted toward making streams for live music. Any streams you can recommend to give ideas?
8:35 PM
Also my biggest hurdle at the moment: for things like twitch alerts and comment overlays i feel like ik being throttled by my mac. Is it just easier to do this on a pc?
Avatar
@Swords and Statutes yea message if you ever need to bounce ideas off for magic. Also for you and @maaliktomtom if you haven't sign up for the magic content creator program on stream elements. It gets you extra stuff and early access to cards for sets
Avatar
Swords and Statutes 5/14/2020 8:36 PM
@ProfBeardo feel you there. Mac user too and it seems like a lot is just optimized for pc

ProfBeardo 5/14/2020 8:36 PM
If this becomes the new norm for live music for awhile im not above spending my stimulus check on a new computer just for this.
Avatar
@ProfBeardo I would suggest a few but the ones I liked haven't streamed since like January. However it is a popular niche right now on Twitch so it should roll good. Also PC has been smooth, but I can't talk for MAc never had one

I did radio broadcasting like 10 years ago and a friend convinced me to start streaming this January since it is basically the same lol
8:45 PM
I knew little to nothing on PC and it has done everything I needed
8:45 PM
Then I just use a capture card for playing console games with the overlays. I also play PC games and stream at the same time too tho and again. No issues @ProfBeardo

ProfBeardo 5/14/2020 8:47 PM

@Shanecus definitely signed up for the creator program. Still working toward affiliate (getting close!), so thinking it may be a bit til I get in.

@Swords and Statutes nice I gave a follow to help out towards that 50 you need. The program can also take up to three weeks for them to respond. Had a series of game stores in Nebraska for awhile and WOTC is just that way. Slow.
8:56 PM
@ProfBeardo a lot of streaming honest to god is just trial an error anyways lol. You will get this! I do suggest linking your twitch or whatever service you use to your discord so we can find your page easy

Swords and Statutes 5/14/2020 8:57 PM
@Shanecus Much appreciated! I followed you as well—hoping to learn from your dnd streams too. And yes, a client of mine has experienced slow response from WotC. So it goes.

I’m thinking of just doing audio and having roll20 up for a single map. I do a lot of theater of the mind. And roll20 is ridiculously clunky indeed.

Fingers crossed for an official digital tabletop soon.
Avatar
I mean, you can use some cool things with it. Not being in person I feel having a way to draw what you mean to the players is big. Helps the viewers also. I DM'd theater of the mind in person for years so I fully understand that, plus the ease is so nice. Adding music for ambience in roll 20 is nice also

hello guys, do you have any tips on how to stay consistent with your streams because my problem right now is that i feel demotivated to stream. Dont get me wrong i really enjoy streaming and talking and meeting new people but sometimes it feels demotivating and meaningless when you see you average is not going up. Or when you have a lot of viewers for few minutes and then the numbers dropping down at once.
Avatar
Lily_Aspen 5/15/2020 4:45 PM
@Helly its hard to do at first but just never look at your analytics, make a habit of checking your views/stats once a month for example.
4:46 PM
it helps as well to simply think of streaming as "a fun thing to do" compared to a job
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/15/2020 4:47 PM
Yeah if you look at your analytics, look at your performance over the past month. I felt that way then i looked over the past month and saw every metric had improved

@Shanecus hi! I started streaming August 14th 2019, and I streamed regularly for 2 months but I hit affiliate pretty fast so it was a surprise for me. Then my schedule started falling off a bit because of school. But I still streamed like 2 or 3 times a week. But then the demotivation started, I think it mainly was because I hit affiliate so fast but after that I was stuck I the same place, so I ended up not streaming for like 2 or 3 months. I don't know why but I just couldn't make myself to press the go live button. But now I have started streaming again and I'm trying to stream every day and have a schedule. But now again it's seems that I'm stuck in the same place. But its not like im streaming to get famous or anything like that, its more like i love interacting with people in the chat and laugh at my mistakes with them. I dont care about money i just want my stream to be active and for that i need viewers but right now it looks like that im stuck in one place and i dont know what to do. here is a screenshot of my average viewers (edited)

better than me my dude! look like good numbers 🙂
9:12 AM
as long as those numbers are green you're all good 🙂

I guess xD
9:27 AM
No I just don't know what to do to make my stream more interesting so people stay and come back to the next one.
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 9:41 AM
be consistent. That's the biggest thing.
9:42 AM
Imaqtpie is one of the biggest streamers. you know why? because 6 days out of 7 he streams at 7am
9:42 AM
be present on social media. network. the whole shebang.

Sorry long reply times. I’m in pacific time but an insomniac so it’s hit and miss lol @Helly first I would just ask what you want from streaming. You said money doesn’t matter. Is it for fun. Community. You mentioned you just want the chat going. I understand not wanting to hit the go live button so I ask that first @maaliktomtom is right that consistent is important. But if you are down “grinding” can be counter intuitive if it makes you lose motivation even faster
9:47 AM
“Grinding” is a word lots of streamers use for just getting on and doing it. Then they say get on and have fun and sometimes they don’t balance out well. Streaming can be lonely. And that real fast climb to hit affiliate and then the plateau can be hard.
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 9:48 AM
The loneliness is something im blessed not to have. my wife always watches me and interacts. it's a great advantage to have
Avatar
Yea that is awesome @maaliktomtom I see lots of people eat themselves up when the numbers stagnant as well. It’s hard not to when you want it to be a job. Also the stigma in a lot of places that you are “just playing a game” Communities are important when streaming. People understand what you are doing. I’m tired so I may sound ranty lol
Avatar
@Shanecus no worries, i like gaming a lot but i also want to be able to hit the go live button and just chat with my viewers or react to stupid stuff, i understand that thats far in the future but that my goal is to build a community, talk to people help them with thier days, just a place where they can have fun together with me. but right now my stream feels dead. I understad it the begining but i dont know how to reach my goal.
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 9:51 AM
@Shanecus dude your ranty is my happy mood. I was just teaching and i was ranty as fuck haha
Avatar
I honestly suggest every one do this one goal with streaming
9:51 AM
Make 1 that’s (One) fan a week
9:52 AM
A fan is someone you know and can talk to. Interact with. Learn about them and what they do and how they are
9:52 AM
It sounds slow but it builds faster than you think
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 9:52 AM
I found out taht 2 of my most active watchers are massive incels. that was a bummer tbh
Avatar
Huh, that’s a thing. Community management will be a topic for another day Mose xD
9:53 AM
I was just going to say with the one fan a week or even every two weeks your five month progresses is 20 Concurrent viewers
9:54 AM
Just think. This week I need to talk to one person and make them want to join the community, Also a huge help@having good moderators that do this with you
9:55 AM
Like I reward all my mods with free merch and that stuff too and game gifts for all the work they do.
9:55 AM
Because without them my stream would be lame
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 9:57 AM
I don't need mods at this point in my streaming career. I litearlly ahve my wife, brother in law and brother as mods 😂

Hmm sounds like a good idea, but do you have any tips on how to get out there, like advertise your stream.

But... you have mods then?
10:02 AM

maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 10:02 AM
but im saying theyre not needed
10:02 AM
ive literally had to ban one person so far lol
10:02 AM
@Helly what games do you play? get involved in those communities
Avatar
Same really i have banned a person on my stream
Avatar
@Helly there is a myriad of things with that. Game choice, social media, just spending time with other streamers, discord’s and so much more can “advertise” The one fan approach is slow. But it also means you have to only advertise to one person and make a connection.
10:04 AM
All you need to make anything work is 1000 fans as an artist

I stream league of legends and valorant rn, yesterday I streamed minecraf but I think Mc is kinda bad for streaming. But over all I play guild wars, league, minecraf and valorant
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 10:06 AM
league is saturated as fuck with well established highly skilled players. unless you are challenger, you'll struggle in that community. If you enjoy playing it, that's fine, but you shouldn't expect a huge amoutn of success there. Valorant is new so there's more chance of success there 🙂
Avatar
I have league of legends fanart account were I post stream related stuff to and I have a discord server that people can join and talk about different stuff, also I have a live channel were I post when I go live.
10:09 AM
The thing about valorant is that everyone rn wants keys rn so they just afk on streams (edited)
10:09 AM

Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 10:11 AM
Just to put it in perspective, ive been scrolling for like 5 minutes on the league of legends twitch and im still on people who have 1 viewer. some former professionals only get a couple of dozen viewers. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's going to be difficult
Avatar
@Helly why didn’t you use cams on league but not the Minecraft one from yesterday?
Avatar
maaliktomtom 5/16/2020 10:11 AM
as for valorant, honestly i dont know that community. I dont like the look or feel of the game
Avatar
Yea everyone is just key farming Valorant
Avatar
I didn't plan on getting any views on the minecraft one since i usually get like one viewer on my Mc streams so I didn't really prepare for the stream yesterday. And it wasn't really planed I just decided to build on my friends server and listen to music
10:16 AM
Since I was pretty tired yesterday
10:16 AM
But it turned out that I had some interaction on it
10:16 AM
Which was a kind of a surprise to me
10:20 AM
But usually I have face cam
10:26 AM
@maaliktomtom the ting about league is that you can plug your stream at the end of your stream and that's potential 9 viewer and some of them stay some dont
