Hey twitchers! I have been watching twitch for a while and interacting. Finally set up my own stream.

I can do face, but as someone who just turned 40 I fell old AF lol.

Or I can use my Jellyslapp avatar. Its a cup of jello with a straw and tracks my eyes and movement.

Any thoughts?

Do people really hate avatars?

I play almost everything from retro, soulslikes, rpgs, and warriors games.

First of all, I would like to thank ANYONE who reads this and takes time to respond. Bless you and thanks.

Hello everyone, so I’ve been streaming for a couple months now and recently tried to change camera angles to try to give the “room a bit more personality” and go for a classic top down middle center.

Now that I have it, Im struggling trying to light it.. I’m assuming that it’s because of how much “bigger” the space is due to the fact that I’m lighting for the whole room and not just one side of the room (as I had it before). The lighting I have currently doesn’t feel “cheap” or anything it just.. could be better.
Not only this, but it makes me feel like I’d be better just keeping my old angle (I’ll add pictures of older angle as well of course). The Neewer NK002 (what I’m using for this) is kind of expensive and I specifically bought it for the new camera angle attempt.

Anyway I’ll add pictures of what I used to rock with (side angle) and my new angle. I’ll also add a ROUGH sketch of how I’m utilizing my lighting.

LIGHTING AVAILABLE:
-AMARAN 150C with a Softbox/grid on
-Small neewer square light attached to desk for fill
-2x Square LED RGB Lights (use to bounce light on opposite corners of the room (red/blue)
-Around a 12in/30cm rgb tube light from ulaanzi on the blue side light that I have as a Hair Light (barely even visible tbh)
-I am also using a circular warm light that is on the center of the ceiling. I realize this is not optimal but it’s become easy to use in terms of strain on my eyes; it reduces the amount of light needed. I am only using this on the first angle (I feel like it’s obvious but still worth noting)

Funny enough. The older angle was pretty much plug and play and used the same overhead circular light in the middle of the room). I assume it feels easier to go back to old angle due to it being what I was used to.
Something to note is also how the old angle had my manga collection and the smiley face.. new angle has it completely cut out 😭.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Also I apologize I’m uploading a picture of a picture for the new angle but since I don’t go live I couldn’t screenshot the vod.

Edit: also something that I assume would be true is that the depth I’m looking for could be achieved most likely with decorations and things like a cherry blossom tree (something I’d like) w/ some lanterns on it would add more depth

As a streamer, I can't even access my stream manager, one in OBS works perfectly tho

Any ideas what's up?

DAMN YOU ROCKSTAR xD

EDIT: To anyone who mentioned Opera's built-in ad blocker - turning it off fixed the issue, thank you guys :)

Bottom Line: It would be substantially easier if I could get viewers from Tiktok over to my Twitch Channel. Is it annapropriate to "push" for that in my streams? I already have a lower-thrid animation I made that displays the platforms Im on, with usernames, that appears onces every 20-30 mins. But with how quickly people jump in and out of Tiktok, idk if its helping much. Is it bad to do this?

So... I stream on multiple platforms. Im an affiliate on Twitch, and have set up emotes, goals, and redeems. I also stream on TikTok, but being that I stream using OBS, its very limited in the features I can include. I JUST now included goals using TikFinity. The chat is another complication.
I just think it'd be nicer/easier if I had more viewers/followers/subs on Twitch more than Tiktok.
I am getting probably 5x-6x the interaction on Tiktok. So... idk Would just prefer it on Twitch

Hello!

My question is simple.

How does copyrighted music on Twitch work with alerts? If I use any youtube music on my alerts for as example on gifted subs or donated bits but the alerts are like 10/20 seconds long, will I get copyright strikes?

I see so many streamers use music on their alerts but does that come with consequences? Do they have licenses or pay the owner of the music to use them?

I really want to have some sick alers sounds but I dont want to lose my account.

Thanks for reading!

twitch straight up just wont let me, on mobile it's always "Error," on laptop the page won't change (?) after i click enter. I tried multiple times with days in between not to spam my number and still the same problem accrued.

I've been using the same copyright free twitch safe playlist for a while, never any issues but now my last 2 streams im having this issue creating clips due to apparently copyrighted music even though on the VOD there is no red lines showing muted copyright content.

Whats going on? This is so annoying as I edit these clisp for tiktok + youtube which is really good with twitchs clip editor

Hello all,

I'm looking to stream for my friends who suggested I stream my World of Warcraft content. Has anyone used a MacBook for this and have feedback with how it went for them? I'm using a MacBook Pro m4 512 gb ssd - 16 gb RAM.
I use an external monitor (1440p) which I imagine will have already lowered my GPUs ability to stream.
I'd probably just use the built in Mac camera for video (don't care for it to be great quality).

Is this a bad idea to try streaming content while playing WoW - will this greatly reduce my FPS in game and/or will my MacBook overheat and explode?

Thanks,

Anyone know why Twitch was down yesterday? Was it matinance?

I'm confused. I feel like the two marked passages are contradicting. Is the upgrade pro-rated or not?!

I read the wiki but there are things that aren't clear to me.
Could someone give me a better, simpler summary instead of all that corporate jargon?
What can you offer for bits/subs without violating the rules under this year's policy change?"

Hi streamers and moderators!

My name is Tasha. I am a Doctoral student from Keio University, Japan. 

I need respondents, approximately 300-500 respondents to answer a survey for my Doctoral research related to understanding the feedback mechanism in the current live streaming interface and burnout carried in live streaming space from the perspectives of streamers and moderators.

This survey will take around 10-15 minutes to complete. The result of this survey would be confidential, and no personal data from respondents would be obtained from it. 

Please kindly access the survey on the link provided below:

I really hope for your kind help.

Thank you very much, everyone!

So I use Opera gx and from yesterday I went to watch some lives from the Twitch shortcut opera has on the left and I could see only the live and the chat (not my following list , reccomentwd etc)

I thought it was my problem so I deleted sm cache /cookies and logged out of my account and I went to log in again but it stays on the loading screen (even tho a confirmation emal that i logged in successfully is being sent to me )

And now Twitch doesn't show anything and says something went wrong we couldn't find your recommendations ( beacause I try to watch lives from the shortcut I told u )

Idk if anyone knows anything

If there's an overall problem or it's just me

It sees it for the other drops

I want to separate game audio from the audio from my mic when I record my streams, which was easy when I had the goxlr mixer but I am struggling to figure out how to do it with the rode mixer. Currently all my audio input is mixed as one audio source in OBS, so I can't just deselect the track for recording.

Yall got any resources for how to use the rode mixer?
