Anyway, here's a thread of how to improve your stream production quality and show 🧵
Have a beginning, middle, and end -
Beginning: If its a special event you're doing like an early game release, have a gyat damn themed video to get everyone excited for what's to come like this one I made for @SifuGame
Ok, have a theme? Don't underestimate the power of @canva, thanks to my girl @KiwiOnTheSticks I was reminded just how diverse the site is and a lot of that shit is FO FREE 99. When we do Indie day in my streams I always look to canva for quick overlays like this for @FARtheGame
Give your community something to do, use programs like StreamerBot or Lioranboard to spice up your channel points and !commands and have your chat control your stream. It's low risk and high reward, just watch my community troll me by turning on the Dance Cam...
The Middle: Speaking of FREE shit to elevate your stream production, there are a TON of OBS plugins and simple solutions that upgrade the look of your show. When I need a break, I'll use a blurred split screen like this just to talk with chat about the game or tell bad Dad Jokes.
How do you do that? Easy, @itsdefrag has an amazing video explaining how to create this scene and more here -
Pro tip: Every week I'll YouTube "OBS plugins" to see the newest plugins and how people are using them @nuttylmao is super good for this
Middle Part 2: HAVE A DAMN RAID VIDEO. I have anxiety and I never know what to do with my hands so I made a video that tells new people exactly who I am.
You don't even have to use it for raids, put it on during an ad / pee / snack break
Don't Have Big Tiddies? Worried you have the personality of a wet sock? Play well with others! Sometimes playing with a good friend of community member you trust will bring out the best in your content. Just look at how much fun me and @ChelseaBytes have!
Don't want to play games but still want to spend time with your community? Plan some evergreen, easy grab and go content ideas. We talk about gaming and entertainment news on "What The Fxck Happened Wednesday" It's my relaxed take on the news for chaotic ppl like me!
Only play FPS? Doesn't mean you can't add some pizzazz. I use OBS Replay Buffer and add a fun way to show instant replays during FPS or hack and slashers for those "special" moments. Shout out to @MoonMonkeyIsle who inspired this!
This happens LIVE on stream, its not an edit.
Ending: Don't forget to thank the beautiful people who watched your content, I have a "Thank You" scene using @StreamElements credit roll template to acknowledge all the people who took the time to lurk, follow, and sub.
Aight that's enough sauce, YouTube and google are your friends. I spent 10+ months learning about OBS, various programs, and cultivating my general branding before I even hit go live. I dare you dream beyond just a camera and game capture, add something new and see what happens.
Residual sauce, for the camera border, its just a browser source @KiwiOnTheSticks shared in her pinned Advice Thread.
