Hey #Earlygang! What do you think, Twitch Alerts, are they distracting or engaging? Do they make editing easier or harder? Will people understand this video is trying to start a constructive conversation round gimmicks and effects? or will people just get upset without understanding the video?

I just started streaming beginning of Aug and reached affiliate a week ago. Thanks to a very supportive community (3d modelling), I had all the followers I needed before I did my first stream. All I had left was people chatting, number of hours and number of days to reach the requirements. The purpose of my stream is so people helping me learn Blender can see what I'm doing and offer help, as well as for others to learn along with me. Overlays would block part of the screen and people won't see what I'm doing. Alerts, tho some can be handy, mostly are very distracting and block people's view. The only thing that interests me is starting, brb and ending images or animations, alerts for follow, sub and bits, and that is so I can thank them for supporting me. After that I don't really need anything else, except maybe something for Halloween and Christmas.

Been feeling this big time lately. A while back, I made this custom TTS command that has a ton of fun voices. I was really proud of it, and viewers love messing around with it! The big issue is that I'm constantly getting interrupted, and it completely kills my train of thought. This video made me realize I need to dial it back a little, even if I am proud of the work I did to get that command working.

Definitely related to this comment. One thing I've started doing is educating my audience on stream segments. Using my voice and chat commands, I help my audience understand what is available to them and when those things go away. For example, if I'm hosting an interview I will let my audience know that alerts will be muted and I will most likely focus my energy on the interview instead of answering chat. Automated chat commands and on stream banners could be used to reinforce these ideas as well. Good luck on your streams!

Streamlabs OBS actually has a fix for most of these things. "Selective recording" is what it's called. It's available right on the main screen above the list of "sources" where you can have it only on stream, only on recording, or both. It's insanely awesome since I can have my twitch alerts on stream, but never on the video I'm recording. It works with all sources to my knowledge, so it's extremely helpful. I myself focus on funny jokes and sometimes loud noises to gain an audience, and it's gotten my 7 followers in about 2 weeks.

And how i always think about "what could i change" and always add new stuff or look for new stuff, but never actually change my content, so that people might actually see it and enjoy it. And even through you said we shouldnt throw away everything... maybe this is exactly what i will do. Throw away all the disrupting on screen stuff that adds no value. Get more basic alerts that are less intrusiv and just try to use less gimmicks (well and finding the motivation to stream and get out of my "nobody cares anyways hole) Thanks AJ.

I have slowly but surely been changing, reducing the time of, or outright removing aspects of alerts or channel point redeems for the same reason. If they break the flow of a recording or require/ruin context it affects my downstream (pun intended?) plans for editing or making other content. I used to have a redeem to “send me to the shadow realm” but it was 45seconds long and as time went on and my stream grew that outstayed it’s welcome. It doesn’t mean things need to be removed but maybe reflect like what eljay is saying and see if things need adjustment or fit your content still

I needed this video 2 years ago HAHA, thank you for putting it out there. Listen to this one people! This is something I learned on my journey. I have all the things, and when chat is a vibe with the content and the interactions it creates a great live show, but they also can turn that right around, put you into sensory overload, derail the vibe, and just crush your will to keep going. Early on I lost so much content like this, I'd go make a short and then a dixper card or tts alert would just ruin it. Now, it's not available every stream, the planned content dictates what we are doing and which features will be turned up on that stream. Recording is setup so things can be filtered out when I am willing to turn it on, and everything happens because I generally will queue it to happen. Since doing this, I've seen great growth and achieved that check mark goal.

Just so its out there if anyone wants to try it. There is a Source Record plugin for OBS that lets you record individual sources and scenes, you can record as many as you want separately from the rest of your stream so long as your PC can handle it. Which would let you have as many alerts and effects on your stream as you want while still having a clean recording to edit in to a video later. All that said I haven't used it myself just yet and only know about this thanks to Nutty talking about it during one of his OBS plugins videos. I hope this helps someone.

I put over 24 hours into two live wrestling shows I edit and make like you're watching a real tv show from start to finish. At first I automatically disagreed with your title but that's til I watched it and realize what you're saying. I agree that if you aren't making good content sound alerts and flash do nothing. I cannot tell you how many people have tried to rip off a few things I'm doing and try it on their streams only to get upset at me when it doesn't work for them the same way. Your personality goes hand in hand with the overlays, alerts, the whole feel of your stream. And just bc someone likes to contribute a certain way on someone else's stream doesn't mean they are going to enjoy doing the same thing with you. Ya gotta find the will to keep going when you are just starting out and you suck. I still have to motivate myself every day to keep going and believing.

It's a lot of work, but I also focus on story rich things too such as games, novels, Movie ideas. Something that grabs the viewers attention and make them believe that the world they are seeing, reading or hearing about. Feels like a real breathing world.

omg these tips are IT, just as much for videos as for streams. I'm just a casual viewer who isn't streaming regularly but the idea of trusting yourself as entertaining enough is why I love so many older Lets Plays of games vs what they've become nowadays. The dramatic zooms, silly filters, the zany editing-- sometimes it's funny, but often I find it interrupting the game or story or even just the pure entertainment value of the video! So yeah, people like PointCrow are doing it best, where only the slightest things get added either in stream or as a video edit. I'm watching for the personality, gameplay, story, or any combination thereof-- not for silly filters and overbearing sound effects. (In moderation, of course-- I love being able to turn on 60 seconds of silly voice filters and such, but I mostly watch drawing streams so perhaps the vibes are a bit different there).

My core content has always been me playing games I'm passionate about and want to share with people, and connecting to the folks watching. For me that looks like a lot of the horror MMO The Secret World/Secret World Legends and usually also various games with animals (Tunic and Animal Shelter Simulator right now). I enjoy sharing things I love, and I've realized over time that really is the core of what and how I stream. I'll note that I'm lucky in that I stream as a hobby and to fundraise for charities, not as a primary source of income, so I have that freedom to pick and choose games that I'm able to be really passionate about.

Interesting take on the subject. Personally I feel big streamers dont do this stuff because they dont need to because they have the following. They dont need to stand out, unlike smaller streamers. However I do feel people need to be authentic and let that shine in their content. Being a copy cat of other creators big or small isnt going to benefit anyone as the results are never the same. I also wouldnt allow my viewers to have that much control over my stream with voice changer, text to speech, etc. Now I do agree if I am streaming for 6hrs and got that message I would be PISSED! so a solution to that could be turn off text-to-speech, turn off the sound alert, but have the alert still pop up in a small section of the screen. This way its not so disruptive and destructive of a potential stream highlight moment.

Pewdiepie and Jack both have experienced wild amounts of success and have been creators for years now. It is very easy for them to trivialize how creators may portray themselves in the public eye. But if you look at the library of their core content, especially their earlier stuff (which in this scenario is more relevant), they do prioritize a specific style of delivering information (energetic, heightened, etc.) and aim for it to be consistent. Sure, there are exceptions but I think it is a case of them being a little disingenuous about that fact.

Problem with this advise is it assumes you have viewers. I could have a billion different alert animations and it wouldn’t matter because no one watches my streams.

Why does that matter? I’ve covered growing viewership hundreds of times, not every video has to cater to 0 viewer streamers. But also, this does apply to them as well because it teaches to stop overproducing and focus on the content.

The last 6 months have been abysmal for growth on Twitch. It's the worst I have ever seen for myself and a lot of newer channels I follow. I don't know if all the ads are killing the platform, or it's something else.

While I agree, and try to focus on what is entertaining for videos and shorts - I also keep my audio in separate channels as well as have a clean feed video to edit later. So I end up with my VOD with all the alerts and gimmicks baked in but also have a clean feed with the game audio, my mic, discord chat (when playing with friends), and music / alerts separated - which also means when I stutter or cough - I don't necessarily lose the footage - I just cut me out at that point. I even have my replay buffer capture a clean vertical as well as horizontal clip to quickly make shorts immediately after. Now, I just need to be more entertaining 🙂

Whoa, that sounds like a lot of work. I wish I knew how to do a small portion of the things you wrote in your comment.

Honestly? My core content is becoming art, retro games, and TTRPGs

Hey eljay! Have you made a video on tips to be a part of a community? I'd love to go on this streaming/content creation journey with new friends and I'm not even sure where to start.

This is mildly validating for me. I hate gimmicks when they distract from the streamer and the content. I do have alerts and some fun channel point sound redeems, but they're not too distracting. I just try to be myself and hope that's enough... which it kind of isn't, but still!

Sound Alerts sounds like a fantastically fun, engaging tool but as you mentioned it can be a mood killer. I'm slowly removing SAs, especially the long ones. I feel bad bringing up bit costs for a jump scare but when you are aiming for a story oriented experience it ruins the vibe 🫣

Is it weird that I feel like my core content is just being me, being goofy, and chatting while I play games I like, but at the same time streaming can take a lot out of me? I really enjoy streaming and my goal isn't really to be someone big, but there's something that I find really daunting about it regardless and I'm not sure what. Is it possible that I'm caring too much about making a good product?

yah, aitum plugin says hello. You can have all of the alerts and gimmicks going while having aitum doing just the scenes you have set up without those alerts getting in the way. Rest of the stuff i agree with. Separate your audio, and now u have your stream and vertical recording separate. you dont want TikTok or yt shorts format, well set it to 16:9.

I think it’s important to remember that these plugins come with a lot of extra resources to handle encoding, and also on a side note, I would never use a plug-in to record Vertical anyway and cut all that footage off that I’d likely use, give me the full camera clean as possible, so I can edit it in post properly, reframing to where the action is. Vertical recording tools are only holding back creators. Again that’s a side note, from someone who is getting 3.5 - 5 million shorts views a month after only a few months of releasing them. But back on topic, I’ve looked at source record, aitium, and a lot of tools to “solve” this problem but at the end of the day, I find most have major drawbacks, that make them more effort to use. Not to mention it doesn’t solve the core of the problem, bells whistles sprinkling glitter gimmicks? None of that solves the boring content beneath it, and eventually people get bored of those gimmicks too. I agree there are options, I just didn’t include them here because we all know more plugins and tech won’t solve the problem this video is actually discussing, boring lazy content.
