If you want to grow your Twitch stream, it is important to be critical. Being critical isn’t a bad thing, people say, “Oh don’t be so critical of yourself!”. But there are a lot of things you can control and improve, such as your visuals, audio, and most importantly your content that you’re creating. Watch back your VoD and be honest with yourself, is it up to scratch. Does your mic sound good? Are you engaging? Is it easy to watch and enjoy or is there something that is off-putting? Be honest, push yourself to grow, and become a better entertainer! Because at the end of the day, the only way you are going to grow your stream is by growing yourself and being critical in a positive way. 🕘Timestamps: 0:00 What Is The Worst Part About Twitch Streaming? 0:51 The Lack Of Freedom Streaming Gives You 1:22 How Streaming Affects Your Mental Health 2:40 How Streaming Can Disappear Overnight 3:36 How Viewers Can Overstep 4:20 Streaming Is a literal 24/7 Job 4:42 What Is The Best Part Of Streaming? 5:19 How Communities Make Streaming Amazing! 6:00 Why The Streaming Culture Is Incredible for Streamers 6:30 How Streaming Allows You To Control Your Life 7:30 Eljay Reveals the WORST part of Live Streaming nobody talks about. What Bitrate And Settings Should I Use For Streaming? The easiest way to understand bitrate is by calling what it actually is, your upload speed to the Twitch servers. Now you’ll need a higher bitrate depending on how high quality you want your stream to be, this means 1080p 60 frames per second will need a bitrate of 6000, which roughly equals 6megabits upload speed on your end being taken up By lowering your resolution and framerate, you can make it a lot easier to stream, for example, if you set your base canvas size to 1920x1080, but change your output to 1280x720 otherwise known as 720p you drop down to only needing a bitrate of 4500 or 4.5megabits. If you still want 1080, you can even just lower your framerate from 60fps to 30fps and then adjust to 4500bitrate.
