@mariomcfly23 You might try looking on Fiverr or another gig service site. You might find someone in #old🔴streams as well.
Thank you sir!
How do I check about updating drivers for Logitech streamcam? Google and Logitech website just gives me links for Logitech capture, but I don’t use that software. Is it possible that camera may not have drivers?
Have you tried using their Logitech G Hub software? If you are having issues with some settings being reset after you turn off/reboot your PC, that'll help you solve it (since most Logitech webcams reset to factory settings when out of power, like my c920).
Thank you sir!
That could be a software issue, not a webcam one, since it's related to changing the properties in SLOBS
To get it working. Like if I change camera resolution, the image I see will freeze and I have to disconnect camera or shut down streamlabs , and reopen it, Even when not live. I think that might be normal though when changing camera properties while camera is “on”
Just to be clear, were you changing the camera's properties through Streamlabs, or through another software?
I'm so excited guys! I do everything I can to support others, and alot of people told me "I don't know why you're doing that, that's not going to help you" and I said it would, karma. It did. I'm almost at 100 followers, and these communities are soooo important to help streamers. I start my 4 days of streaming again tomorrow, but I'm not so anxious about it anymore. I love the feeling that I've helped others, and it's so nice to have help back too. Thank you to anyone who ever has, or will ever, support me. ❤️ thanks

I always say play what makes you happy tho. No reason to stream if you are mad and hate it

Also, a new person followed me and they’re called “marm_sucks”.....ok
Now that's an obsession lol
You can stream pc game’s directly with obs or slobs or stream elements or whatever Cap card is just nice if using a console

I’ve noticed at least half of the streamers I followed when I started have now stopped… spent like three hours going through all my followed channels
It ain't an easy hobby to stick with, that's for sure.
Oh I get that part I just am surprised to see so many pan flashes But I suppose it’s better for them to have tried it and then been like meh than to have wondered on it

Just a bummer as always to see some people disappear There was a cool art streamer I had commissioned before that has somehow ceased to exist
This is truly a shame. I feel that many people have stopped working from home due to the lack of tools that'd help them earn their living.
Hey guys, I’ve got a few questions if you lot can help me out? So basically me and a close friend have started streaming (shameless plug: every Wednesday night 
) and I’m trying to think of ways to “entice” people in to watch the stream, basically doing a “Road to 50 followers/affiliate” type thing, but I’m struggling with promoting my stream, how have you guys promoted your streams when you first started? Did you do any sort of little giveaways? If so what did you giveaway? Does hosting other people’s streams help out yourself? Reading back this message it does sound very self involved, but any help and feedback would be much appreciated! Also apologises if this is the wrong channel to post in!

If you do a giveaway now, you'll lose your money. Work on your own goals first, instead of aiming for "affiliate" straight away. Plan out what kind of content you wanna deliver for your (eventual) viewers, who is your target audience (Ex.: the audience that watches "bathtub streamers" is NOT the same that'd watch your pre-affiliate channel), how can you increase the quality of what you and your friend create (should be way easier for two people, right?) and learn how social media works (not only Twitch, but Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc).
Maybe most of them don't have any idea how their content (which may not have been "good enough" from their own point of view) mattered enough for some of their viewers. Streaming is not about getting viewers/fans/subscribers, but forming a community around them/their content.
As I said a bit before, it's about forming a community around your content, instead of getting viewers/results

Perfect mate, I thought that might be the case, I tried to make the message not come across like “how do I get loads of followers” because it’s not about that, it’s about building the community, I’m certain we have the quality of the content down now, but thank you for your response! I will look into this things and get them into place

And don't worry about sounding "self involved" in the future. Streaming is about you, the content-creator, being a big part of the content that your viewers consume. They aren't there for the game, the giveaways or your setup, but for you (and your friend, in this case).
The only thing that they can't find elsewhere on Twitch.

Best headsets/microphones for noisy places? Basically it's always noisy here no matter what, it gets hot and the AC is always loud, there's usually fans on and neighbors are loud
Get a condenser mic, make sure it's pointed correctly to avoid noise making areas
had my best stream yet last night. consistent 15 viewers, a new subscriber, like 15 new followers
Congratulations dude!
Hey Rice Cracker (a food item that I buy surprisingly often), thanks so much for this awesome answer!
No problem, if ya have any more questions or concerns just DM me and I'll do my best to answer
in terms of a capture card and a desktop parts, what would you recommend? Please ping my name)

Hey all. What are you supposed to do if a viewer is saying dark things in a livestream, about being scared & self-harm?
Streaming chat is not the place to be saying those things. You are not a therapist and they shouldn't be giving you the burden to hear those things. Tell them you are sorry to hear that but they should refer to the suicide hotline and not to talk about it in chat

I completely agree, I can understand if they feel comfortable enough to talk to you about the things they are going through, but I also genuinely think that they would also need professional help with that kind of thing, coming from experience

I'd refer them to the hotlines and similar. Try to cheer them up a bit and maybe tell them what to do, such as seeking professional help, not being alone and call up/text friends and such. ^^

Be a human first, and make sure the person feels heard, but be clear that they need professional help. One thing I’ve done in the past is ask what city they’re near, and then DM them resources

Hey does anyone know of a good video editing software? I have some footage I'd like to edit for a YouTube video?
I use Shotcut for YT and I use Davinci Resolve for TikTok
Hi, all, to all streamers here who stream games: Does anyone know where's a good place to look for people for hire who can do the following things? 1. Minecraft players with experience in mods for creating a modpack 2. Generally people who set up games (mods, servers, etc.) for streamers
I have done this a few of times in the past, when I hosted a server for a few friends (for different games like Minecraft, ARK, even World of Warcraft, through emulation)
I have done this a few of times in the past, when I hosted a server for a few friends (for different games like Minecraft, ARK, even World of Warcraft, through emulation)
Are you a member of any group of people who does that, or offer services anywhere? Also, how familiar are you with Minecraft mods?
What I'd advise you is to pay per update on the modpack, if you decide to hire someone for that, since you find more things you'll want to fix, especially for QoL things
That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion! In addition to that, having a high-level view of everything is very important to me, too.
Also, it's been years since I've poked around any Minecraft mods, but I should still be able to find and install mods.
That's kind of an issue for me, as I want to use modern mods and build on/extend existing features in newer versions.
Morning streamers Go out and have an awesome stream Accomplish 1 thing Learn something new even You got this

Hey guys, recentley got a new microphone the blue yeti x and I can't find a good way to test mic volume when not streaming, since it kept picking up random sounds whenever i tapped my desk but if i add a noise supression sometimes it doesnt pick up my voice any suggestions
I used the built in windows voice recorder to test my sound
If you're using VoiceMeeter, you can record in that as well. That's how I test my Yeti X.
Hello, has someone of ya experience with trovo? Is it better then Twitch or not? Thank you
Most platforms have better discoverability than Twitch, so that would be a definitive win for Trovo, if that's the case. What do you know of the platform, that made you consider a viable alternative for your content?
okay thanks

Its the people that watched after the stream, not the ones who were there while you were live

I do streams at night and game with people in the morning as I play shooters and talk news. The night ones are story games. When inviting people in having them in VC is good as another way to fill white noise, but I advise getting some trust with them first That way they don’t say something that your channel doesn’t represent

This seems like a good way to do it. In my case I have a few trust-worthy ppl but they don't show up to every stream. I'm posting the link in chat & letting anyone join but realizing this probably isn't a great idea. I have trouble filling the white noise, so I've been letting anyone join. Sometimes it's too loud, & it's led to some awkwardness with swearing, bad microphones, crying, copyright music, just to name a few. If I change up the format to control the VC better, IDK if ppl will stop showing up.
Final Month of Summer coming up for people Your schedule going to change or are you locked in and not going to be phased?
I'm gonna need to change my schedule when school starts

Nah I followed you 
Nah I followed you
I didn't see
Can you all give me suggestions on what game to stream
It’s always what you think you are going to enjoy! Honestly, it’s the most repeated advice, but if you really love the game, or trying something new out you enjoy people will be all over it!

Honestly no idea, I stopped for like 5 months but now I'm back on the grind lol
Shit I thought it was onlyfans leaks
little of column a
does this mean i get to have 3 different custom emotes or does it have something to do with tier 1-3 subs?
So when you first start you get those 3 emote slots and 3 bit emote slots It is do to with subs, people can pay ~$5 for Tier 1, meaning they only get the Tier 1 emote Tier 2 is ~$10, and they will get the emote in that slot plus the Tier 1 emote Tier 3 is ~$25 (a stupid jump imo) and anyone at that level will get all three emotes. Personally I put a special emote in that slot to try and make it worth it XD The bit slots are a 'total bits' reward, so if someone keeps cheering you 100 bits if they do it 10 times that will count as 1000 total and will unlock the bit emote for them. Seems to be a permanent unlock from what I can tell too. You should have a 1k, 5k and 10k bit emote slot I think, unless I unlocked that without realising (sorry if thats the case) Hope this helps
It does involve twitch, since my ex and I are both streamers (you'll see why that's relevant). Also trigger warning: domestic violence.
Hey @LilyoftheAshley I hope you're safe. DV makes my blood boil. I dealt with it as a kid and teen, and can relate to some of what you're going through, but not all of it, obviously. My advice: Get away. Move out. Get safe. He's being enabled by his mom and it will be nearly impossible for him to change with that going on. It's not your responsibility to change him for you. You need to keep you safe, and it's HIS responsibility to change to make things work. He seems like an insecure bully hiding behind a nice guy facade, the kind of guy that would be ruined if that illusion were shattered and reality brought to light. Unfortunately, that kind of response could cause him to get more violent, so I wouldn't advocate for you to get clever and try to expose him. Also, not real hard to figure out who this guy is. He seems reeeeeaaaaal nice to people who sub to his channel (unmuting and politely saying thank you and wishing them a "good sleep"), but he doesn't seem to be giving you the base level of respect a human deserves, let alone a "girlfriend". He has far more issues to sort out than you have time in this life to solve. Please, for you, move on. Also, did he say something like "My mom will fucking kill you" off mic?
Good morning y’all

I never see anyone put thought into this but no one ever mentions eating a caloric surplus and streaming. I’m trying to gain weight so sometimes I’ll grab a protein shake and some nuts before streaming but it puts me off from doing a long stream. Does anyone have insight for this?
Well why does eating before a stream put you off?
Well why does eating before a stream put you off?
I try and eat as much as I can before I stream but I also want to eat a lot during stream. I just don’t want to just sit there and eat the whole time lol

Ok well my insight on eating on stream is some people absolutely HATE IT. There are 2 ways I can think of at this moment for you to compromise. 1. Just have a mukbang! There is a food category so just use that and eat with friends. 2. Instead of eating on stream just take small 5 minute breaks. You just tell your stream you will brb and go have a snack. That's what I do. Some people don't care but I would say the majority of people I have talked to absolutely can't stand watching people eat on stream (or listening to it). Of course if you just do a mukbang then that's the whole point.
@Vixenoire that’s Actually a really good tip I guess it’s not so bad or else Tim the tat man would be skinny
I need a blender to give a little more oomf to my shakes
A really good blender or food processor is such a good investment! I use both all the time.

Can you make yourself a special scene in OBS whenever you do a food break? It could become a draw to your stream.

Yes that's true, but my point still stands that a lot of the people I know actually hate watching people eat... so even with graphics or a special scene it might turn people off unless it is like a mukbang where people expect to watch you eat.
Call it the "5-Minute Mukbang Break". They can mute for 5 minutes if they're really supporters and hate it so much
Or don't, and be sad about it.

Maybe it's just the people I know, but I feel like eating on stream and mukbangs aren't really a lot of people's cup of tea.

How does this server have 500+ people on it at any time and it’s more dead than my dad
This server is a bit different from most communities because we don't come here for a single product/service/game/person, but to chat with other content creators, be it for advice/troubleshooting, to ask what folks are up to (on their streams and on their lives) or just to talk about any related topic. Of course, there's a big number of people that only participate to promote themselves (a few even try to do it here in this #💬│chat, just to get a free 
), but this is the case with any server: 99% lurkers, 1% active members.

Which ones are you looking at? I recommend Sound Alerts and Better TTV if you dont have them already. Sound alerts is a good non-channel point interaction, and Better TTV gives you more emotes to play with and the option for your own animated emotes

♂️ if one wanted to do a live stream of Irl ghost hunting how would you go about the body cams mic setups and obs
@divideaconquer How serious are you about it?
vary just need someone to point me in the right direction
Easiest way would do an Instagram live

I’m imagining a full-scale Ghost Hunters, just live. Pare that back as far as you want
If the location has internet, ask to use that.
This assumes a lot though.
Also I just want to say I really appreciate the help
Yeah I meant more like setting it up with the cams and stuff. OBS doesn't like body cams from experience
Which body cams?
Which body cams?
A project I worked on used some sort of gopro interface that was developed to live feed into OBS. We had several failures, but luckily there were hardcam backups
I have designed a software that elminates all of the hassle.
Where are you sourcing your music?
Why is there a gray screen with a loading bar for 15 seconds?
I tried and the load didn't seem to succeed, I thought I waited for more than 15 seconds but perhaps not.
Also, the loading screen on your website is unbearable.
It's still in Beta, as well as that, the site loads 120images. So... I have to put loading screen on it. 15 seconds seem to be the best.
Where are you sourcing your music?
NCS music, and the music that says livestreaming is allowed.
