  • EVERY. SINGLE. STREAM. I have a checklist of tasks I have to do in order to make sure the stream is as PERFECT as it can be, on the days where I don’t do these things I notice a big drop in overall viewers, engagements, and I just made worse content.
    Today we are talking about stream preparation so that you can rest easy making the best content you can.

    How To Prepare For Your Streams:
    To nobody's surprise, I am going to say the first step is to look at your entire week and set up a schedule, figure out when you are going to stream certain days, try to make their days you can do every week and you’ll stream fairly consistent games/categories/ and genres. The first step to a successful stream checklist is getting into this routine and letting it become a part of your potential viewer's routines.
    A big part of the planning content or games section is finding a unique way to stand out, can we add stakes to make the content more unique and separate us from the crowd?

    Why You Need To Check Your Audio Before EVERY Stream
    Before every stream you should check your microphone settings, are they set to output properly, are you sending audio out, and then once you go live check you aren’t muted! Grab a sticky note if you need it to remember, but look at this little bar in SLOBs or OBS to make sure you are making noise, and it is actually set to output.
    I actually recommend when you are testing the game and alerts like I mentioned in the earlier tip that you also test your microphone because sometimes OBS or SLOBs can change which microphone input you are using, so make sure that is actually set to your correct microphone as well.

      For a long time I kept forgetting to transition back from my Chatting screen to gameplay. My chat missed a bunch of a Sekiro boss fight because of it. Luckily I died so it wasn't a massive deal 😂

      OH YES, AND I DIDNT MEAN TO DO IT, So I'm a Small Streamer That Has Literally No Mods For The Chat...And The Chat Is Usually Pretty Slow, Mostly For That Stream...
      I Was Definitely Confused As There Are Usually 2 Chatters, But This Time Non...So I Went On To Google (i love google for this) To See Why No One Is Chatting...
      One Of The Reasons Was: "You Are Not Using a Mic."
      I Checked My Mic And BOOM, It Was On Mute. Nice Job Me ;)
      After All, This Is One Of My Most Important Things To Check...Is My Mic On?

    The tip about hitting stop streaming after a raid is very good! I always raid, wait for the chat window to swap to the other creators, then wave and say goodbye one more time before hitting stop streaming so I don't have to worry about it. I've definitely forgotten in the past so I made it a part of my ending stream routine

    Big tip I use for remembering to end stream after a raid is once we go raid out I have a multi command key on my Stream Deck that switches to the Stream Ending scene and plays music for 60 seconds then it completely shuts off the stream and recording and turns my lights off. If anyone has a stream deck or a good alternative would highly recommend programming in a multi command feature that’s similar, it’s been a lifesaver and haven’t made that mistake since! Also, always A+ video Eljay, as many others have said your TH-cam content has been incredibly helpful on this streaming journey and I find your advise invaluable.

    I always do a whole ass vocal warm up before stream. If I don't I find myself stumbling over words and stuttering or just losing my voice half way through. It also ups my energy cos you can't be sad after doing lip trills for 5 minutes, it's impossible. Also didn't need the call out on the irregular schedule (hopefully I'll be back on track now I'm back at work, being off for 4 months really screwed with my schedule) but you right, you gotta be as consistant as possible on that schedule.

My community expects the tech difficulties now and they find my absolute lack of luck hilarious...I turn it into just chatting as we work together to fix it, joke around, and celebrate once everything gets started. They call it 'level 1'. Quality content chez Mimi.

I've moved to a new state and don't have many friends here, so whenever I get that one person chatting with me while I play brings me back to playing games and kicking it with my friends back home.

    When I prepare for a stream I've taken your advise and gotten a notepad, and I write down, the stream title, the go live notification and the talking points for the stream. It has helped me become more organised. I won't lie I have had technical issues on streams too many times and that's perhaps where I'm going wrong. It make take some time before I see some change but this has been really insightful. And yes I have had that where for the first 30 mins my stream had no mic audio and it wasn't until someone joined the stream and pointed out before I discovered it myself. It was a massive feels bad.

    My unique twist is going to be "games done different". I'm going to try and take future games I play and trying to find a unique way to play them. Something which doesn't make it worthless for people who like the actual game, but maybe creating some sort of game within the game!

    Great tips! Would you consider doing a video about hat happens after you press "go live"? There are bazillions of videos that talk about how to set up your streams that always end with, "And then just press go live!" and fade to black. I want a video about what happens during a live stream, how you adjust on the fly, switching between windows, dealing with problems.

    So I was stuck on this level in Dark Souls and it was driving me nuts because everytime I stream it, I make little to no progress on stream. After watching one of your videos about trying to introduce more content besides just clicking live, I decided that I was going to attempt doing a Hangman game with viewers that would activate every time I died on Dark Souls. I don't have a gaming PC so I literally bought a bulletin board and we printed out pictures of our favorite anime or cartoon characters to use as the hangman. To be able to participate you would have to use your Redemption reward points, like a hundred something cheap, and then me and one of my mods would write a list of the people who bought tickets in order so every time I died we would just look at the list and they would get the pic the letter. This performed really well and my few people that watch me really enjoyed it. I would imagine that with more viewers this would probably be really awesome

    Oh yeah, I've streamed and had my mic on mute 😂. I think the longest I ever did that before someone told me was 45 minutes to an hour 😂. At least I was a lot smaller back then. Also that ending statement 😂! I don't even want to know what Eljay has seen/heard to say something like that XD. Great video as always! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for all that you do and for making people's streams look so much better!

    @RogueRen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm gonna be doing as many of these as I can tonight and hope for the best! I had to skip a week of streaming due to PC issues and am terrified that I killed my own momentum after finally being consistent.
    ...And yes I have left my mic muted before. It got so bad that I started doing my mic on a per scene basis so that I never have to mute or unmute in OBS. My BRB screen just doesn't have a mic source!

  • @mirablossom2672

    I definitely forgot to unmute yesterday for about 3 minutes 🤦‍♀️ BUT I wanted to thank you for all of the amazing tips! After almost 4 weeks, I just hit affiliate! I'm so excited, and your videos have made me feel so much more confident going live. I appreciate it so much!

      @@Asakedia thank you! I started streaming some miscellaneous stuff at first trying to find my groove, but I’ve settled into Sims 4. There’s definitely opportunities for growth in that category, and it’s the most fun I’ve had yet on stream. I’ve also met some really great creators through raiding! Making a few friends in the last month of streaming has really helped me ❤️

    Oh no, Eljay has seen things in some VODs. Terrible, terrible things.
    Great video as per. Have defo gone live when muted - I had a bit of a complicated audio setup to allow for music and gaming streams and.... it was rough for the first few weeks. Remember that any technical difficulties can really knock your confidence, but they happen to everyone and you just gotta keep working through them guys! Mistakes aren't the end, they're part of the fun ;)

    Started streaming while muted a few times now, learning to check that from now on. A good tip about the raids, I've never had enough viewers yet to do a raid, but its good to know the stream doesn't end. When I'll do my first raid I'll be prepared. :p

    With regards to mics being muted. If you have hotkeys, or use a streamdeck to change scenes, you can use multi-actions or the same hotkey. Unmute the mic when moving to a scene where you will be talking. And for scenes where you don't use your mic, you can have the same hotkeys or multi actions set to mute your mic as the scene changes!

    • @StreamScheme
      @StreamScheme  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yep, lots of ways to handle it :) the main trick is to just be cautious as well! #earlygang

  • @desmaku87
    @desmaku87 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    my checklist:
    1. test games for audio and video. do a recording, check levels
    2. turn off or on any nightbot timers or commands
    3. turn on the program 'chatty' for i can see chat better and have sfx using channel points
    4. re-check channel points rewards
    5. create stream description, title, tags, games
    6. make social media posts through the day leading up to stream
    7. post in discord server
    8. get water or snacks ready
    9. use the restroom

    I’m really enjoying your content, but I can’t use all of your tips because I only have a ps4 to stream, but I’m watching your videos and see if there’s anything that I can apply, i stream mostly to have some fun and show the games that I like to see if I can make a community that will enjoy those games too

  • @FsuPsycho
    @FsuPsycho 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    And then there's me that can't have consist schedules as work and life is chaos and always changing. But whenever I hit that "live" button I'm always more keen on chatting shit with my few regulars, I'm big on "breaking "things in my stream, it's been part of a !quote and a joke of giving off C+ content. I enjoy playing games casually with my mates, making new friends, I also do speedruns.
    It's always nice to see people helping other's, because that's whats it about!

  • @Sb129
    @Sb129 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think I'll do alright when it comes to titles, the stream "Go Live" notification is interesting. I would have thought that testing the game you're playing that day would have always happened but you've seen way more streamers than I have.
    I have a simpler way of avoiding the self dox, I am planning on just using a different Windows User account for when I stream. I will only be logged into what I need to.
    I was unaware that you had to manually end your stream after a raid, I'll definitely remember that, Lol.

    With the privacy thing I've actually just made an entirely new Windows user dedicated to only streaming, that way if anything does show up or I need to go into my browser, only things that I've done on stream will show up. Even then I very rarely use desktop capture instead of game or window capture.

I want to plan this challenge around being able to make it into to TH-cam video in Smallant style, but obviously with my own unique twist.

      Nah, it's a reference to a SrGrafo character in his comments. Billy is loveable, but frustrating because he always does the wrong thing.

    This was a great video as usual. I wrote down everything you said!
    Coud you do one about getting your first PC for complete absolute beginners? I have a Mac, which is great for TH-cam. But I had my first Twitch live 2 days ago and the ventilation was going like crazy... I need a pc...

    I often stream together with my mother. Togethter we are kinda like a sitcom sometimes. The funny thing is, that my mother has more experience in most games than me and is the ordering type with the big plan. I on the othter side am fast confused and sometimes slow in comprehentig stuff. Its kinda like a reverse daughter mother stream.

    Is there's anything you would suggest for me, I work a rolling 4 week rota. 1 week I work 8.15am-4.45pm, next it's 12.30pm-9pm, then it's 11am-7.30pm, and last is 9.15am-8pm. I currently have a rolling 4 week stream schedule to match it where I stream 2 and a half hours after my shifts. I have a Google calendar with the times in linked in my panels. And they are in my Discord. Any advice for me?

    Just wrapped up my first week streaming and I have absolutely loved your videos. Took a while to get going but now that I'm in it, I love it. The big question for me is, my game. It's pretty crowded. I just feel like it'll be so hard to get discovered. When would you call it quits on a game and try something new?

    I know a schedule is important and all, but a lot of us don't live in a perfect world where our hours are consistent. Some of us work shifts or different hours every week so we cant follow a consistent schedule. I try to go on at the same hour every week on days I can stream, but I can't post a schedule because I work shifts and there is only 1 single day I'm 100% I can stream.

    • @StreamScheme

      Not for Twitch, I don't see much point in it currently, trimming them down wouldn't perform overly well, since my content isn't based on search intent over on Twitch.

    Hi LJ. Love your content, it really helpful as I'm planing on starting streaming. You have on several acations mention the importance of a stream schedule. I'm working full time as a nurse on 3. Part shift, meaning that I got very irregular weeks, and work every 3. weekend, as well as day, evenings and night. What is the best way to set up an stream schedule, when i have so irregular weeks? I'm thinking as a start to just have 1 stream a week. And was thinking along the line every Sunday 9pm, but every 3.week there will be an Thuesday 9pm stream instead of an Sunday. Is it bad to have an schedule were i also stream a day in the week at daytime when i increase my streaming schedule?
