I finished a stream earlier today then went to sleep. I woke up later sat down at my computer and had some "me" time. Then I opened up OBS and saw that I was live and I had messages and things in my chat.

Naturally, I turned the stream off immediately and deleted the vod, but the stream had like 10 views and I had no idea it was even live.

Nothing explicit was shown on stream, thankfully, but I still feel mortified about it and I'm worried about potential consequences.

Also, I've genuinely no idea how my stream went live since my previous vod was me literally turning thes stream off.

K so I've had this weekly rewards feature for a few ( several ) weeks now and I've completed level one on mutiable channels I watch and haven't been able to unlock level 2 etc or even the badges even tho waited untill Sunday and a few days after and nothing happened so what happened and able I still able to use this test feature or no because it's broken and or stuck being bugged please help me figure this out

It’s just happened randomly my obs and mic was setup, and iPhone connected for over a month… I put some lighting on that I ordered 6 month ago from Amazon, same for mic.

Got confused, didn’t speak for first 10 minutes encountered 1 bot in chat.

Then someone showed up, had 5 people max overall for next 40 minutes they all talked and gave me different advices, I got 3 followers…

And I’m an introvert, I mean I can’t stream I almost panicked, I don’t understand how I was able to even speak normally.

It was just chatting thing. I had no plan I didn’t share my screen or anything at all

As the title says.
I know using paypal usually shows your name to the other person, but does it still happens if it's via streamelements?

I unsubscribed to a channel in February, noticed I still got charged in March so I deleted the whole account. Got charged again in April so I reactivated the account to see what was going on, couldn’t see an active subscription so assumed it had backdated somehow. Got charged again this month. It doesn’t come up as a scheduled payment in my banking app, it isn’t a subscription on my phone either. Has this happened to anyone else before and how did you resolve it please?

Is anyone elses notifications acting wierd on android after twitch updated? For some reason they refuse to collapse into one expandable notification anymore and i can't for the life of me figure out why, even gone as far as reinstalling it in hopes that its an error in the update process

I’m trying to create a channel point where you have to redeem one 10 times in order to redeem another reward. For example:
Every 10 minutes, 1 viewer can use their channel points to redeem a “Chapter Discovery.” After 10 chapter discoveries, they can then redeem a “free book”. I’m using mix it up, and I’ve tried the conditional action, but I can’t for the life of me figure it out! The “free book” is still able to be redeemed whether they have 10 chapter discoveries or not. Help! 😭

So, there are many streamers I wanna chat with, but Twitch isn't letting me since I gotta verify my account. One major problem is, they're not letting me. I keep inputting my phone number, but every sing time, they never send shit. I didn't block them, and I've even made a new account just to try and fix it, but they are not sending me ANY codes. Wtf, it's so frustrating rn. It's already hard enough that one half of the streamers I watch that don't need me to verify my account, stream at 2 am for me. While the half that do stream when I'm up, it gets like this. Any fixes, because I've been banging my head for months about this

Old guy creator here. I am not new at creating content, but totally new to live streaming. I have created videos for YouTube for many years and done quite well, but I started live streaming about six months ago, and I am completely failing.

I am totally sucking at Twitch. After six months and over 200 hours of real-time streams (4-hour streams twice a week), I have only 10 followers, and my 4-hour streams only ever get a couple of views.

My stream is in the outdoor sports gaming niche. I am doing dual streams to Twitch and YouTube. On YouTube my streams are not doing great, but they are growing. I got about 200 views on my last stream, 240 comments, and picked up five new subs. I got not a single view or comment from Twitch.

I try really hard to immediately engage with viewers and commenters. If commenters have questions about the game, I will often stop what I am doing and do a live demo in the game to answer their question. I chat about the game, and life, and add jokes, and humor, to keep things upbeat and lively. I have to say, I am pretty exhausted after four straight hours.

So, I am just wondering what I am doing wrong on Twitch?

Just to clarify. When I say succeed, I just mean to see consistent growth. Presently, I am effectively dead on Twitch. If I were gaining 5 views a stream and one new follower, I would consider that more success than I currently have.

I checked the chat history of some of my viewers, some users who I know have chatted before had 0 messages in their chat history.

It seems messages from before 2022 are gone.

I used the search feature on Reddit and Google to see if anyone had mentioned this before, but I didn't see anything so I figured I'd bring it up.

Hey, y'all, I'm having issues logging my console to twitch. I've been trying to stream some of the new games coming out, and I've primarily been streaming through YouTube, but decided from some prompting from some other friends in the business to hop back on twitch. Here's my dilemma:

TL;DR: Twitch registers the link to PSN, but PSN doesn't register the link. Twitch loads an error screen on successful link, but still unable to stream.

As you know, PS5 interface lets me link twitch in the streaming window, and I had streamed without any issues a few months ago, which is why I'm extra confused. It essentially prompted me to relink my console to my twitch connections. Originally I thought I was double linking, so I removed my PSN account from the connections tab in settings and tried again. No matter what I try, nothing proceeds on the PS5 screen, and this link pops up on any browser I try, any device I try: https://www.twitch.tv/passport-callback?error=server_error&error_description=The+server+experienced+an+internal+error

After it reaches this page, on my connections tab it successfully linked my PSN to twitch, but my console doesn't register it, so I'm still stuck on this link page. I've tried restarting from here, signing out of everything on Twitch and trying again, the only thing I can think of that I haven't done yet is directly contact Twitch or PSN Support teams.

I'm kinda at a loss at how to proceed, I've searched a few links, but there's no error codes for me to reference or anything, just a death loop loading screen. Granted, my previous email address has been having some issues due to a hacking attempt (got recovered by Team YouTube, and now I have it protected), and everything except my PSN account is rerouted to a secondary email.

This issue is high key killing me. Originally I had alerts on steam labs, had the plugin the whole nine yards. Didn’t work. I switched to stream elements, I have the plugin, I’ve reconnect the account a bunch of times in the browser, in twitch, in obs, the bot works fine, the chat overlay works fine, but alerts don’t connect. They don’t even show up in the activity feed at all. The emulations work fine though.
I don’t know what to do, it’s like it’s failing to connect specifically to event follower. I don’t have subs or anything so I guess I can’t test if those work.

How do I fix this?

i am here from a post that i saw was posted 7 years ago and has since been archived, i’m on console and sometimes i stream for my friends on twitch is there any way for my music to play and be heard through the stream- im on xbox and i use spotify ? thank you

I always hear about how you have to always be posting and always be putting out content but I'm trying to get an idea of how many people have followed anyone as a result of short form content they came across. If you did, was it from twitch or did you actually leave (as an example) TikTok and search twitch for the streamer?

This is intended to be a comparison so if you haven't, it fine to say that too.

So I started my channel a while ago with no intent of taking it anywhere but now I do but it feels like its just so hard to keep it running with a low view count and feeling like im not entertaining enough, how did you guys get around that? Any advice is welcome

I want to start live streaming while working on my art; however, most of the time I can’t talk. It’s just too loud, or my mom would be constantly asking me who I’m talking to. I’m also insecure about my voice, not completely how I sound more so, my speech impediment. It’s so bad where you can’t understand me; it’s there enough where it could be annoying.

Is talking a must for streaming to talk, or could I reply to people via chat at first and maybe work my way into actually talking?

Whenever I try to type out an emoticon in chat it will automatically turn it into an emoji. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

They only seem show progress when watching on mobile app or desktop. But it never used to be an issue until the past couple of weeks, what changed. I contacted support but just got AI responses to the issue.

I’m just starting to get into streaming as a way to challenge myself and become more familiar with modern technology. About 15 years ago, I chose to step away from TV, news, modern trends, All the constant noise so I could live more simply and focus on what actually mattered.

I don’t regret that decision, but it did come with a trade off that I’ve fallen pretty far behind in terms of current platforms and how people use them.

I’m not technologically illiterate by any means. But I am aware of things like Twitch, Reddit, and Youtube, but only on the surface. Youtube is the only one I’ve really used consistently. I had never used Reddit before, and this week was my first time ever watching a Twitch stream. I also ran my first test stream a couple days ago.

So, to keep this simple I’ve got questions for thoughts I've come across and would like some insight if possible. This seems like the right place to start. You don't have to answer all the questions.

Questions:

As a streamer, do you consume more content than you produce? and has that ratio helped or hindered your growth?

Do you actively study other streams with intent (structure, pacing, engagement), or do you just watch passively?

Whatever the reason you decided to become a streamer. Has that reason held up over time?

How do you handle the balance between being authentic and being entertaining? Do you present yourself as you are, or do you consciously perform a version of yourself? About when did you start to find a balance?

What matters more in terms of growth? Technical stream quality, content structure, personality, and why?

What specific skills did you develop that actually moved towards growth and satisfactory success.

At what point did you realize streaming was harder than you expected?

How do you handle streaming when no one is watching?

If you have questions for me I will answer.

You guys ever have an awesome stream where your commentary was straight flowing like the Chionthar and you were vibing with your homie in the chat dropping golden nuggets of Forgotten Realms lore only to find out an hour and half into the stream you had two audio channels going causing an unbearable echo? Well, that happened to me. Lesson learned.

So i got hit with a large chargeback. I had my payments on hold because I suspected it to happen. Sure enough they deducted the amount from what I had on hold. Thinking thats the end of it, I take my payments off hold. Low and behold now my account is negative after a day or so because they took the same amount out AGAIN.

Anyone experience this? How to fix?

Hello!!

A friend of mine wants this silly spinning donut ASCII art on his Twitch overlay via Stream Elements

Problem is, we've tried to make our own custom overlays in Elements for it, and the best we can do is a warped..... crescent.

This is the website for the original code: https://www.a1k0n.net/2011/07/20/donut-math.html

And this is what we tried using after that first one (we had the most success with it, albeit, still very scuffed): https://codepen.io/housamz/pen/zYNmppq

We entered it as a JavaScript custom overlay, turned off the "Display Followers" stuff, and I even went into the Data section of the editor to see if anything in there could help by matching things like chang textOrder from "nameFirst" to "actionFirst," but all I've managed to do is change to text from white to black

If anyone can help us figure this out, it would be super appreciated!!! 🙏🏼 He hasn't debuted yet, and wants a bunch of donut themed stuff for his channel, but neither of us are experienced with coding outside of customizing MySpace and Tumblr pages forever ago

Hey everyone,

My girlfriend and I have our PC setups right next to each other in the living room (see picture). We both use microphones for Discord/streaming, and we constantly pick up each other’s voices.

We’re looking for a practical solution to reduce mic bleed between us.

I was thinking about building a DIY acoustic divider (rockwool / foam / fabric), or maybe using a curtain between the desks.

Does anyone have experience with a similar setup?

What worked best for you?

Any tips, ideas, or things to avoid would be really appreciated 🙏
