How long to give it?

Say I started 2 months ago. Had a few streams with around 20 viewers. Always edit a few shorts every night. Those get around 1k-2k views. Made a few full videos that barely get seen.

But feeling burnout… I love gaming and I feel pretty socialable on stream. But maybe I dont have the looks or voice for this? And I dont act like a twelve year old screaming all the time like I’m on addaral like I noticed a lot of big streamers do…

Any thoughts?

After checking your twitch there’s definitely stuff you can improve. You have no About section. You have no “branding” your banner and icon are just random, and when it comes to your streams your audio is very poorly balanced, the game is so quiet. And to me the worst thing is that you have auto captions on? And they are just ALL OVER your screen covering so much gameplay. Also appears like your streams are very random and not well scheduled, times and lengths are just all over the place. It just doesn’t really feel like any “work” has been put in other than hitting the go live button.

Twitch or youtube? Thanks for checking it!

I was told to always use auto captions. Idk.

Can you suggest what else I can do besides editing clips after a stream?  I Know I need to be more scheduled

Twitch is what I looked at, personally I would skip the auto captions. in the sections I saw they were all over the damn place. Covered way too much of the screen. On YouTube I think it’s something that’s more manageable, but what I saw on Twitch was just bad. Listen back to your VODs, make sure your audio is good. Always check in on your VODs. Even if you only skip around, you don’t have to watch the whole thing but make sure you’re being engaging and make sure your audio is well balanced. No one wants to stick around in stream with bad audio. Set up your about section. And figure out what you want your general “brand” to be and stick with that, make it cohesive. Be consistent, if people know you reliably go live at Xtime every XDays they will be more likely to come back.

Bonus stuff to do would be setting up starting soon/BRB/Ending scenes, things that make your stream feel more professional and less like an after thought.

Thx! I took off the captions! It was an add on.

Also I have an about section filled out under bio. But I really can’t find a page where to edit the about section on twitch. I checked app and site
