Are you a console streamer? If so, let me know what console you stream from and what you struggle with and I will see what I can do to make a video to help you out!
I can't stress this enough: capture cards. I streamed off PS4 Share at first, and I can't tell you how annoying it was to see cutscenes blocked off because the developers said so.
@@Wild4 Hey Wild, been to your Twitch streams and I believe you missed my questions. I was watching your first time streamer tips and in the video you said you might talk about the best way to stream with music. You may have already made a video on that specific topic but I can't seem to find it. You said to definitely not stream music through the mic
I streamed today just to give it a shot and I had 5 viewers in about 30 minutes. 3 of them were lurking for 3 hours and 2 of them actually interacted with me and we played together for 4 hours :) I was shocked as I really didn’t expect anyone on my test stream. I was playing Dead by Daylight on PS4
Been streaming for about 30 days and just made affiliate today through my PS4 streams! Definitely loved all your tips, can't wait to implement them in my future streams :D
Wild4Games I’m super excited! I’m struggling pretty hard, ngl haha I have so many ideas and I’m not sure how to execute them or the best way to do them haha working on badges as well and it’s so stressful 😂
Probably the toughest thing is to not get discouraged. It's easy to give up if you stream for hours to no viewers. Being a successful streamer/youtuber is earned for sure.
What I struggle with as a console streamer is getting word out there that I’m streaming... I post everywhere, use hashtags, shit even post it in snap... but I struggle to get viewers in general. I’m hoping after watching this video, I’ll become better. Thanks for the great tips :) would’ve never thought of these tbh 🥴
Another BRO TIP for console streamers is to turn off the notifications so that black box doesn't contently pop up during your stream. I started off them on and when I watched my stream it was horrid.
Congratulations on Affiliate! Here a couple videos that may help you. Tips for Streamers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vqTH5gPod4k.html New streamer? Become better! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s3xc1ls7ipQ.html
You can only have overlays for new followers and bits. You just need to go to twitch extensions to find them. They work even dough if you don't have obs or a capture card. @MagmaCreamy
Invest in an Elgato hd60s and download playerme broadcaster. I personally use this and it’s fantastic. Check out my twitch to see yourself! twitch.tv/wildwoodmafia
Great video, I was surprised how many of these i already worked on (the controllers discharging happened to me a lot 😅) now always use an extension cable. The easy one I can't believe i missed was adding the console to the title. One thing I struggle with is on the commentary since I'm not very talkative and thought streaming would help me improve on this, still i stream mostly to zero and whoever gets in leaves after a while. Thank so much for all these tips
@@Wild4 yes I have been watch the channel for some time main thing with me is I don't have cool stories to tell and I am not good at talking to myself haha best thing I do is get into a discord with friends and talk to them during stream but I still feel like I am doing something wrong
Awesome info! Thank you. I'm on ps4 and I most definitely struggle with keeping the chat going. It seems like people come in say a few thing then they are gone. Or people come in and won't chat at all. I try to ask them questions about them and what they like or play but it usually dies off quick.
Realm Royale streamer here just wanna say your advice has helped me grow I'm still small but have a few loyal followers that always tune in. I love the fact that the same people come back. It's great for interactions between the chat and myself. I also started playing with 2 of my regulars one is a mixer streamer and they say our interactions with each other make the stream that much funnier and entertaining.
If you have an Xbox one and want layouts you don't need a capture card, as the XBONE can stream directly to a Windows Computer. Also due to XBONE having an HDMI input you can plug another console into it, once the second console is plugged into the XBONE select One Guide and you will see your second console. That is how I stream my switch instead of having an elgato
I'm just starting out with everything and your videos are such a huge help, even years later! The devs for one of the apps I stream my visual art work on reached out to me and asked me to be the face and curator for the app's new gaming section updates so it's time to be all professional about things. I also learn a lot of the technical stuff as I go, like I didn't know about the capture card overlay thing until reading the comments here, that's gonna be an absolute game changer lmao. I switch between pc and console depending on the game so it really confused the crap out of me why things were so different between the two. Thank you! I'm on Twitch with this same name but it's absolute bare bones right now with test streams.
+Wild4Games I recently started my channel, streaming from my PS4. One of my biggest problems is that I get soo immersed in the game that I forget to talk/engage. any suggestions on how to fix this?
A blue yeti usb mic is a great mic for its affordability, my PS4 gets loud sometimes and it def helps cut background noise and improves my voice audio during the stream. I’ve used it for one stream so far and I’m so impressed def recommend it. A tip for anyone wanting to improve audio on streams for console/pc.
I've been binge watching a ton of your videos, because I really want to start making great content online and I have to admit, I've been using a ton of your advice and it has been working. I've grown my twitch channel up to 6 followers so far, starting a week ago. It's definitely a different feeling, coming from being a featured name in db drag racing frequently, to starting to get people who engage with my channel and have fun, while we make jokes during the gameplay.
Sometimes if you’re a small streamer there’s people who filter low viewer count to high and paste a website in the comments and say you can buy followers.. don’t click it
Wanna know what I struggle with? GETTING LURKERS TO TALK!! As soon as I mention anything about the lurkers or something along the lines of “feel free to interact with me in the chat” etc, they start dropping out. Not sure how to break the ice or why acknowledging the lurkers makes them want to leave. Been streaming for about a month now, got to affiliate and usually have about 6 or so people lurking and no one usually talks. I talk and joke and have fun no matter who’s chatting but wish I could get advice on this topic. Thanks!
2019 anyone this man amazing Though I’ve been doing mobile streaming on omlet for a while and some on RU-vid and I’m starting console soon so I am glad this popped up! 😁
Wild4Games I’m gonna start streaming on a ps4! I was gonna get a Xbox one but I changed my mind and I can’t wait to start! Thanks with the help you provided me!
Planning on starting a streaming channel and just wanted you to know that your channel is the first one I'm following. Thanks for this video and the one before it
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel!! I can't thank you enough for all these great videos about console streaming!! I started a few days ago because I really wanna be a streamer, I'm not that great at gaming, but I know I am funny and love goofing off in game! I was getting a little depressed and kinda feeling defeated a little bit.... Then I found your videos and you gave me a lot of courage and hope to keep on streaming! So I just wanted to say thank you for making all these awesome videos and please keep it up!!!!!!
I started streaming 2 days ago and I gained 25 followers on twitch for all my xbox players, make a “Looking For Group Post” and make it say “Im streaming on twitch @yourusername, playing with Followers!” Make your stream followers only and make sure u play with everyone, they will stick around. I mostly play 2k btw.
Hey Wild! Great video as always! I have done most of these and have gotten over 160 Followers within the last month to month and a half and my average viewer count is going up and up! Thanks for all the advice!
If you haven’t can you do a in-depth review/tutorial on the Elgato game capture card. I would like a setup tutorial with stuff like what microphone to use, how to set it up and maybe make an overlay. Or even a link to a helpful video!
Putting (Xbox) in your title is a great tip, ive been doing it for the last month and i can see how many people search that when I go to my stream analytics when I end my stream.
The problem I have is that I try to be social to anyone that join try to see if they can enjoy themselves but they don't say anything and then at some point they leave
For everyone who wants an effective, good and free bot that is simple to use and that works on both youtube and twitch. Streamelements, stream elements is perfect for someone who is a console streamer and wants features like - Follow, Subsciption and donation alerts - A loyalty system - Timers and hundreds of chat bot commands - A live chat support team with streamers just like us - Chat stats if you want to see peaks and highlights of your streams - Giveaways and contests - Spam filters if you don't like pesky self promoters There are also plenty of features for people who stream on OBS or PC as well.
Xbox streamer here as well, love the video man. My issue is audio/video desync... I’ve even tried wiring the remote to the console, still not solving the problem :/ any thoughts??
Wild4Games hey man, thank you for responding :) streaming directly from the Xbox for now, everything is going great except for the desync lol it kills me
Ash Cash I have tried everything I can think of lol so far nothing has worked for me, but it may work for you!! Try plugging your controller directly into console and playing that way, a lot of people say that solved their problem. If not that uninstall/reinstall, and maybe reset stream key.. but try wire first lol
My problem is that I’m not use to people being in my chat often and sometimes forget to look over to quickly see if anyone has typed anything in chat. Also what you said in this video about breaking the silence and keeping the chat flowing so viewers stay around and enjoying the gameplay AND the conversation
I am a new Twitch streamer and I play consoles for my stream. Your tips are really useful and hopefully I can use them to get at least a Twitch affiliate. Thank you!
I struggle with getting my chat to talk. I'll have 10-15 viewers but they wont say a word. I've tried sparking up conversations in a number of ways but nothing works
also i am really having a hard with subs so when you make a vid on this could you please shout me out. it would really help me out and i would really appreciate it. Thanks for all the help!!!
I need help on adjusting my mic sensitivity volume so I don’t have to have my mic so close to my face and the stream barley hearing anything. (I stream on Xbox one through Twitch app)
Wild4Games I’ve looked it up and someone from Microsoft said on reddit (which I don’t 100% believe they are one) but they said the Xbox team is working on mic sensitivity in settings
I was having the same problem, but there is a way to do it. In the twitch app there is settings to adjust it. You might need to be live to do it but you can change it
I don’t have a camera so I can’t show my face and I don’t have energy when I talk and lack things to talk about🙃 but I’m still new I wanna get better and better at this
Great video man. I started streaming from my console first and now I stream through my pc. The bot that helped me get through was Streamelements. And FACTS about them console cameras being horrible quality lol.
Hi wild! I have a question i really want the answer for. How do you stream a game from your apple phone/ipad with facecam at the same time?! BTW i love u and ur videos but i know u cant say the same! 😂❤️
You can stream games or IRL stream with your mobile device but they do have their limitations - Check out my mobile play list to see all the programs 💪
I’m always having problems with breaking the silence. I mainly talk if someone is talking in chat or if something happens while playing. Can someone help me with this issue?
Loved this video! For me, fiddling with audio is intimidating. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to have better sound while streaming Xbox through my pc... I can capture gameplay just fine but I can't capture my voice or the party chat.
You can use overlays throut xbox app and streaming xbox to the computer make sure it's hard Wired so it don't keep disconnecting that's what I do but go with his plan capture card will be more professional
I personally don't like a face cam cause I did it before and guys were asking for more cleavage, wear more revealing clothes etc. Not saying every female stream does, but I see it a lot so they're expecting girls to be sexy. Like nah I wanna be comfortable, minx is a great role model having so many viewers without a camera. Yes its probably gonna be hard but idgaf
Allows do what you think is best for you that is rule number 1 You dont need a camera to grow ( but I do think you grow faster with one) Just be entertain and fun! You can always re-introduce the camera when you think the time is right. 💪
I was planning on starting to stream on Twitch on my PC, but it's outdated, as far as I can remember some of my PC specs are, GPU:GTX 1060 3GB CPU:AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz and a m5a97 R2.0 motherboard, guess I'll try stream on my PS4 for a while, good video mate! Subbed.
I stream from PS4 but I went the extra mile. I use slobs and created my own theme using a premade as the starting point. I bought a dedicated snowball mic and use the elgato hd60s. Expensive but worth it. I don't use a camera and it doesn't seem to bother people that much.
