here is another thread about twitch

Been streaming 1 year, super fun and make a good amount of bank

I also love interacting with female streamers

I wish I could stream but I am so fucking ugly despite knowing how to entertain.

>>128676
I've streamed probably 4 times. However i'm not brillant at games. I have about 20 or so followers. Most of them are people who have known me through social media for a while. I've had donations despite how shit I am and how awkward I am socially. I would love to do it more regularly but right now, I have a broken graphics card and I have to wait until payday.

>>128676

I've been streaming for a year and make around 2-3k a month. love streaming, sometimes the abuse gets too hard though so I make sure to relax/take some time off. overall love my community, made great friends. one big thing I would tell you is beware of dating streamers (not like stay away but be careful) bc some of the guys i've dated on there had no social life ever and did not know how to act/be in relationships and it just caused a lot of heartbreak.

>>128680
how many followers do you have?

>>128681
17k

>>128682
Cool! Not bad :)

I want to try streaming, it seems like it could be fun, but would people even watch if I don't use a webcam?

>>128680
Abuse? Sry not new to the site but reading about streaming for the first time.

I only -somewhat- started streaming. I play league of legends, am decently high elo (D2-D1) and play jungles/mid, but I don't think that really matters… Or I'm probably boring/ugly. Who knows. It's been about 2 months of straight streaming and I'm barely breaking 300 followers.

I LOVE meeting other girls who stream, esp if they're around my range and don't play support. But streaming can bring out some intense catty-ness between people (guys included) or at least, that's been my personal experience.

>>128678
If you're really good, it doesn't matter!

You probably won't make tits-cash though, if that's all you care about.

>>128686
You probably aren't getting many viewers because the the amount of girl streamers that play LoL is HUGE. You would be better off playing a somewhat popular game that doesn't have many girls that stream if you want to get popular.

>>128686
>>128688
They're also infamous for being titty streamers who don't even like the game. So not only do you have tons of competition, but that's what you're expected to be as well.

>>128687
Titscash is exactly that, face doesn't matter much so long as you're busty enough for them to jack off to.

I feel bad for female streamers and lets players. Literally every one I've found other than sims players have had their tits out and made everything about sex. It must be hard trying to get anyone to watch you when they either only care about tits or tend to ignore female streamers because of all the glorified camwhores.

If anyone has links it'd be nice to find some normal women.

>>128686
I am >>128680 streamer. I streamed for MONTHS before I got anything more than 3-10 viewers. Also it is mostly likely the fact that league is an ovesaturated game streamer wise and you are most likely not used to being a streamer talking wise. I promise it doesn't matter that you are ugly, just over saturated game and personality. Once you get above a certain threshold of viewers (30-50) your stream will grow a lot more since more people can see it on the list. I also recommend watching other streamers and being active in their chats, as this might help you as well.

>>128685
and people harassing you/stalking you online

>>128689

This is a pretty stupid stereotypical that I promise you is 100% false. Even "tit streamers" (streamers with cleavage out, personally I think this is a stupid term bc not everyone with tits gets popular) generally enjoy the game. You have no idea how much work is put into streams and those bigger streamers generally do more than I do on mine.

>Literally every one I've found other than sims players have had their tits out and made everything about sex

pls, go actually watch twitch. Usually the top 20 streams are mostly male and 1 woman who isn't a "booby streamer". People who don't watch twitch much seem to think that it's overrun with "camgirl" streams which is totally not the case. Most female streamers do not run this kind of stream, and in fact in the top 50 streamers only 2 are women, who are not "camgirl" types.

>>128690
>infamous for being

I was talking about the stereotype, not what they are.

>Usually the top 20 streams are mostly male and 1 woman who isn't a "booby streamer"

I'm not saying it's overrun by camgirls, I'm saying when I looked on YouTube multiple times all I could find was those kind of people and men. I watch plenty of men and they're all starting to sound the same to me. Streamers could be interesting too I guess, but I don't usually like to watch live streams. I know there are women who play games and like them. I'm one and I'm asking for links to people like that.

>>128678
Trust me, it enough for you to have natural tits and vagina to get tit bucks.
>>128684
Ofcourse, but if you don't even have a mic, you should compensate that by smooth play.

By the way it's not even nececary to stream a game, you may stream yourself draw things and do viewers requests, i once saw a girl who has been streaming how she was LEARNING painting, it was even promoted by twitch.

Generally all it takes to stream is ability to entertain people somehow.

>>128692
>natural

kek

>>128693
By natural i mean legit tits to exclude trannies.

>>128694
They love obvious implants like jnig's and worse so long as you lie and say they're natural, but I get what you mean.

>>128690
I talk a lot, esp with my viewers and make conversations about everything, including what I'm doing in game and explaining why. But you're most likely right with everything else. Thanks!

I've been streaming for 3 weeks and just tonight I got 3 subscribers and they ask me when I will do another stream with commentaries since I do my nightly ones on silent. Unfortunately I don't have a cam to stream with my PlayStation 4, but I use a lot of mic/voice during streaming day time.

I honestly just do it for fun and to talk with people. So far everyone has been real nice and I get a lot of fun out of it and for me that's what it matter. Eventually I'll get the camera, just need a few pay checks from real life and pay my bills first :)

>>128695
Lol this. Why are men so fucking clueless about how the woman body looks? It's so easy to tell when a pair of teats are made out of plastic is just pathetic seeing hordes of dudes being totally clueless about it.

>>128698
Porn, anime, and video games basically. Pornstars claim it's real and in anime/video games they are "real" so they think it works that way irl for some reason.

>>128698
You speak like those epeople ever seen naked woman in real life.

>>128700
Unfortunately a ton of those kind of guys are always complaining about their wife.

>>128701
How pathetic one must be to go on twitch and complain about his wife.

>>128702
Pathetic enough to watch tittystreamers in the first place.

I would like to start streaming once I move and have better internet speeds (soon), so on that note, I don't watch any streams lately.

Do people take interest in games that aren't league/MMOs though or even story-heavy/RPG games?

Not that I'd be in it for the money, but how exactly does getting money for it work?

Does anyone in here know an affordable headset with a good mic quality I could use for streaming?

>>128705
Steel Series Siberia line and Cloud HyperX line gaming headsets are pretty nice.

>>128704
As long as it's not an overly niche game you will probably get at least some viewers. It just really depends. What are the games you want to play on stream?

>>128690
hyperxcloud 2, please don't get a Siberia. I've had all kinds of Siberia headsets (v2,prism, etc) and they always break down. Steelseries also have garbage support. The other thing with hyperxcloud is that it allows you to switch your mic to another inline one if you decide to upgrade later (instead of buying a whole new headset).

>>128707
Thirding hyper x, I have a 1 and my bf has a 2, quality is superb for the money.

>>128707
Siberia has been fine for me anon, I've been using the same steelseries headset for 2 years, no problems yet. It's my backup now though since I got Cloud II. Cloud HyperX is definitely better if you can afford the extra 30 or so dollars it costs compared to Siberia. Either way, for streaming I recommend a real mic such as the Blue Yeti if you can afford it. Dedicated mics are much, much better if you have the cash for it.

used to stream around half a year ago, but stopped so i could focus on finishing highschool.
it was super fun though! i didn't use cam tho because i wasn't really into looking presentable and just wanted to chill and play games like i would normally do. idk if 700 followers in 3 months is good but to me it was amazing, considering i didn't need to use my boobs.

most people on twitch are guys but you'd be surprised how many of them genuinely enjoy a female who knows what she's talking about and can just ramble on about games. i love talking to my chat and greeting everyone. i'm super shy irl but since im in my room alone and i just talk to people in the chat it's really easy for me to be peppy and entertaining.

my computer is kind of getting shitty though so if i pick up streaming again i'll probably have to use my boyfriend's.

i recommend you start playing games that have small communities or big games that have no females in them, you'll get a lot more attention. catchy titles help to! nothing clickbait-y but something that reflects your personality or what you're doing that stands out from a crowd and makes people want to click on your stream.

only thing about streaming that i dont like is that now i have a female friend who just streams like minecraft with her boyfriend with no sound or music and she wants me to host her, or people ask to play with you just to get attention to their own channels.
i wouldn't mind this if they made good content or we were good friends, but idk maybe im being too sensitive but i wouldn't like being used, though im sure actual streamers have more shit thrown at them.

(thankfully i dont stream anymore so i just dont do it but, does hosting someone alert your followers that you're online? because im on a hiatus so i wouldn't want people messaging me asking me if i'll be streaming again soon, because idk when i'll be ready for it).

anyways, i would def recommend it! it's a bit of a grind at first unless people shout you out, host you, or you get lucky someday and get a bunch of viewers while playing. (this happened to me once, soda poppin started playing the game i was playing and a lot of his shitty fans clicked on my stream as well)

Definitely would recommend if you love games and would love to have people to talk to while playing!
(also.. tips are kind of nice. they always go towards the stream like getting a good microphone and maybe a green screen in the future but hopefully if i do start again i could make enough to sustain myself)

I was thinking about streamin a co-op game with someone, since i rarely see anyone doing this. Two streamers could synchronically do two stream one of from his point of wiev. I think that would be cool.

>>128711
What co-op game are you thinking of streaming?

I'd love to stream for friends (no cam), but I only have a laptop, and the delay was just too terrible when I tried.

I only have shitty laptop but I'm thinking of trying stream regardless. Of course nothing impressiv with great graphics, because that would probably kill my laptop but more like emulator stuff. The problem is that I'm scared that I will run into legal troubles if I download old games of the internet. Could that happen?

>>128676
I used to stream on NicoNico Douga a little while back, I didn't really do anything besides try to speak butchered Japanese. I'm thinking of doing it again, my broadcast was getting a average of 200 viewers and the most was 600. I kind of want it to go somewhere, if i move onto gaming. If my internet wasnt so shit at least.

I am a hikkikomori/NEET with bad agoraphobia and social anxiety but when im on cam I seem to feel and act like a normal person.

>>128715
Did you get Japanese viewers or?
I'm just wondering if streaming in a language you're practicing might be good for learning too!

>>128712
Console oldies on emulator, through net play. Secret of mana is one of the first games i wanted to play over net. Then there's coop mod skyrim.

I'd like to start streaming but I can't tell if I'm funny or not. I can make my friends laugh but talking to myself for an hour seems really difficult. I don't play online games nor am I very good at what I play but I'd love to have a chill stream of old/strange/obscure games just as a hobby… I'm ugly but I have a cute voice.
How do you establish yourself in that kind of community? I'd hate to be one of those people that only gets two sympathy viewers. (sage for not contributing)

>>128718
Voice is always enough. And about talking to yourself, just speak up everything on your mind.

>>128676
No one has any recommendations? The non-camwhore kind ofc.

>>128720
Non camwhore recomendations? Well, it was mentioned in the thread, if you bother to actually read.

>>128721
I don't see any names or links. I meant people to watch. Youtube preferably but if anyone likes any streamers I'd try to watch them too.

I've been thinking about getting back in to streaming but I honestly haven't done it in about 5+ years? I streamed when it was still jtv and cam/game streams were virtually unheard of. It was really fun and I've been getting back in to games when I'm on my downtime, so I was thinking why not stream and be social while I play.

But I'm not sure what is a good streaming set up anymore? I wouldn't be playing anything heavy or competitive, I mostly play old or more casual games and I'd like to have maybe a cam in the corner. Could any of the streamers lead me in the way of a good streaming program/basic setup?

So i've never done any streaming of any kind but i've been thinking of starting streaming old jrpgs and rpgs and stuff of the likes of it on twitch because i really like them and i'm confident with actually playing those and talking about them instead of online games or whatnot. But i do have a few worries.

Which broadcaster software is the best (for the pc games) and most reliable out of all the options there are?

I'm not quite sure what is best, if to stream from ps3 or download ISOs and stream from my computer.
I watched some streams of people using ISO and they seem super unreliable, always crashing and whatnot, but streaming from ps3 seems a hassle, so i'm not sure what to start with, any anons that stream old stuff, what would you reccomend is best? Can you run into legal trouble if they see you using ISO? (i've seen cryaotic play with internet downloads on his streams, so i guess not, but i'm still curious)

I don't have dual monitors but i see most streamers do, so would you recommend i get another monitor for it or i can pass with only one pefectly fine?

Would you reccomend buying a stand mic or a headset better? Any cheap good ones?

Also, i have a pretty powerful computer, but my internet is pretty shit, plus i am an eurofag so twitch runs mostly like crap. Any europe anons that stream with avergae-bad internet, how it's working for you, have any tricks to make twitch not run like absolute horsehit? VPN?

Sorry for all the questions but i trust first hand info from here more than some probably paid promotion website answer lol.
