Growing on Twitch is difficult, and with the new Ad Incentive we might need to think carefully about how we monetise our audience, because it might be getting harder to retain viewers and grow your average. We'll be covering exactly what the Twitch Ad Incentive Program is, how it works, how it's going to effect your viewers, and how it might be causing the Twitch Adpocalypse. 👑 Check out Eljay Live Right now: http://bit.ly/eljayemtwitch 🔴 Download the BEST Full Stream Packages By OWN3D: https://bit.ly/BestFullStreamPackages 🔴 Download FREE Animated Overlays From Our Discord: https://bit.ly/FREEStreamOverlays How To Use The Twitch Ads Manager The feature is called the Ads Manager, and it essentially replaces the manual run ads quick action widgets. To find out if you’ve got it, head to Creator Dashboard then click Affiliate / Partner in my case then Scroll down to Ads Manager. Make sure you’ve got Disable preroll ads turned on. Then click the Ad Manager, you can schedule your ad spacing, meaning how often ads play, change the ad length so 30 seconds is 1 ad and that turns pre-rolls off for 10 minutes, 90 seconds or 3 ads is 30 minutes of pre-rolls off. These two tools need to be balanced carefully, personally, I am setting mine to 60 - 90 seconds every 45 minutes to an hour, but find what works for you, then you can set a delay, you’ll want this delay to be as short as possible. What is the Twitch Ad Incentive Program? The Twitch Ads Incentive Program gives Creators the option to earn consistent, monthly ad revenue. The program is built on top of the Ads Manager feature, utilizing the preset ad timing and automation aimed at easing the management load of running ads. Currently, Twitch Partners have been invited to participate in the program, and if you're unsure if you've been invited, you'll be able to know for sure by visiting the Ad Manager in your Creator Dashboard.

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.
