- Are Twitch Alerts, gimmicks, overlays, voice changers, and more ruining your Twitch stream? Are you adding glitter to terrible content and pretending it is good content now?
Today we're breaking down what makes Twitch content good, and how sometimes when we try to make our content "good" we instead just add distracting, over the top effects.

How To Grow On Twitch?
If you want to grow your Twitch stream, it is important to be critical. Being critical isn’t a bad thing, people say, “Oh don’t be so critical of yourself!”.
But there are a lot of things you can control and improve, such as your visuals, audio, and most importantly your content that you’re creating. Watch back your VoD and be honest with yourself, is it up to scratch. Does your mic sound good? Are you engaging? Is it easy to watch and enjoy or is there something that is off-putting? Be honest, push yourself to grow, and become a better entertainer!
Because at the end of the day, the only way you are going to grow your stream is by growing yourself and being critical in a positive way.

What Bitrate And Settings Should I Use For Streaming?
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.

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.
I love this reminder to consider the core value prop that you offer to viewers when adding features, and keeping that at the forefront, rather than adding features just because you can. Thanks for another great video!
For me, this was the major takeaway as well. It is really easy to hide behind the surface level 'features' of your stream instead of focusing on the core value prop. Just like in most aspects of life, balance is very important.
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!
Very good point. I use Stream Elements TTS, which gives a Subs only option. I also turn it off during times like D&D where I want the VoD to be on UA-cam later.
I don't want the DM's voice to get drowned out by ppl just dropping in who aren't paying attention anyway. 😅😂
You can always tweak it and turn them off at certain points
I set up a TTS with a site called Monster because it had AI voices that my viewers could choose and it works off channel points as well as bits. i've had it enabled for almost 6 months now....not a single person has used it. I have a chat bot alert to it and its down in my descriptions and no one at all tried it. Even the bit functions that use TTS my viewers don't seem to like, but oh man you let them sound redeem anything Michael Jackson and they spam that sh*t
This is top advice. I didn't realise how I'd kind of...internalised the interruptions from a lot of the louder alerts/sfx, I've dialled them back significantly and I'm a happier streamer for it. Still have some subtle ones for Subs/Bits/Follows. Your example of being interrupted by the Bits TTS was spot on.
Really appreciate this video. ❤ One thing I'd love to see in the future, if the option for the VIEWER to turn off overlays and pick specific scenes, specifically for them.
So, Tom could watch the gameplay video from one angle, without alerts, while Bob watches the stream from another angle, with alerts and other potentially annoying bits.
REALLY hoping to try getting back into streaming/content creation again in the future. Real life has been so insane this past year, it was impossible to keep a proper schedule. Alerts were neither bad nor good for me when I did as they either never worked properly or no one did anything to trigger them.
Now that you've had some time to reflect on your past streaming experiences, what do you think your number 1 priority will be when you return? Any advice for other streamers? Best of luck on your return!
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. I'm slowly going up, but honestly your content here is really helpful in seeing how much I need to work on to make this happen properly. Thank you.
Great advice in reference to alerts. Make it simple. I find myself adding too many overlays and alerts. I forget the content is the main piece.
On streamlabs desktop you can record and stream and have certain scences only visable on one or the other or both. So you can still have all your alerts go off on stream and then recording will have nothing.
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.
100% agree, I've had streams where three separate audio sources are playing at the same time. It's so overstimulating and really derails my thoughts. These days, I keep streaming simple and focus more on using streaming to produce edited content for UA-cam. Glad to hear your stream has been growing! Best of luck as you continue.
I like how this was about alerts but also mentioned how people act on stream. Which come to think of it I think I subconsciously have fallen into that be it intentional or not
Wow I actually watched the entire ad segment. That was incredible, Eljay 🔥
I'm really enjoying your content my friend!
I need help!
So I'm super new to all this so sorry If I'm not explaining it well...
I want a custum alert but one NOT linked to new followers, new subs etc etc.
I want an alert that I can press a button and it pops up on my steam telling my watchers to type !play, stay up for 20 secs or so and then go away until I press the button again.
Is this possible?
I'm using Twitch Studio v0.116.4 & StreamElements
I'm having a blast learning all this but this issues has got me.
This changed my perspective so much. Thank you friend!
Finding out Bajo streams was probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. Him on Good Game Spawn Point was a massive part of my childhood
The streams are amazing as well, honestly, I was hesitant to cover him in this in case people got the wrong idea.
I love the comedy haha. I still love my alerts but really think there's a middle ground between being engaging and having too much. Thanks for the vid!
this is really good advice. I started with nothing, just gameplay, and voice. I spent a lot of time and still do work on myself as the why people watch. not that it's doing me amazing numbers but its secured loyal viewers who are there for me and not all the bells and whistles. It's only now I've really started to dive into the fun interactive stuff and make-believe persona, but not at the harm of all the continuing hard work on myself.
This video has the best sponsored ad segment I've ever seen on UA-cam. I've actually rewatched it a few times, laughing! Especially being from the UK.
Thanks :)
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.
Hi, Im just starting streaming tomorow with my first stream. How do I find my core content? Just keep trying things until I find it or burn out ?
Thank you for making these videos, man... I really owe a lot of my success to your advice!
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
Been going thru this with my stream on Twitch lately. I have a lot of channel points for costumes and such. And I find myself sometimes getting irritated, when in the middle of a game, like Phasmophobia, which is one of my main games I stream, and having to put on a hat, or costume, or do voices and such, and it takes me out of the flow.
Yeah, its channel points, but I sometimes wonder how much people really enjoy it, and if its taking away from my stream or adding.
Specially now that I have been splitting time and also been playing WoW Classic Hardcore.
But keep up with the great vids. They have helped me out a lot the past couple of years.
Great video! I hope I limit my gimmicks to things that fit with my stream and drive engagement ... things that are "fun." It is a tough streaming world out there... trying to keep people's attention with a decent stream and some side engagement things while not doing "too much" is a pretty tough balance.
I agree, the balancing act is really tough. But I think acknowledging that and focusing on your core content are great steps forward. What are your favorite things that you add to the stream?
@@DimTheLightsTTV I have these things: I give my viewers the ability to change my lights behind me - channel points to change my voice or mess with my game a little bit, and using the points to activate a second camera that focuses on things in my space - also the Pokemon Community Game (PCG runs on a bunch of streams and its all synced) running in the background has given people something to play along with me.
I'm hoping it's not too much or too gimmicky, but seems to help engagement. And I try my best to not be boring.
I like Owen, I wish I could hear more about what he has to say
The most interesting man in the world bit would be great for Owen in my opinion haha.
I do guitar repairs and builds oh yea, I play Golf in my Simulator while the CNC cuts out a project. Trying to get golf scenes appealing to the eye. Could use more guidance you share. Thanks
Hah jokes on you. You cant hurt something that is dead anyway!
No seriously. Great video. Makes me think about my Streams (and somehow a bit depressed). 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. Always watching your videos and always finding them to be something to think about.
Owen Owned is such a great guy. He really looks like he's been through the dark ages, black plague, the invention of capitalism, two world wars and he's still upbeat and chipper enough to tell us about these great features offered by Owned!
I think I agree with this, and as someone who is gonna start streaming as a vtuber soon I wanna change those old bad alerts as soon as possible
To answer one of your questions, I play trackmania. Thanks for making these. I feel incredibly successful, having grown over 500 follows and averaging 5 to 20 every stream without actually knowing any of these things. I implemented just a couple of minor tips and my retention rate was all climb last night. Thanks again
where is the notification file from at 3:32? looking for a simple "blob" animation like this to edit in after effects.
Isn't there a filter within OBS that allows for you to mirror video sources into another OBS instance to keep the camera feed be separate from the stream feed w/ alerts overlays etc? Or am I wrong.
You be right. I'm with you on this. Just be myself, chill and relaxing.
Thank you!
well, there are obs plugins for example, where you can record any source of the stream you want, separately.
for example, you can record the facecam + the gameplay. they will be 2 videos with each their own sound - no distractions, like alerts or sound effects. maybe this would be a help for some.
but I get the message of your video and I am totally here for it. I know a lot of streamers who just overdo it with all their extras, filters and whatnot. the core value should matter the most.
some solutions to these issues is using selective recording and recording all stream sounds into its own channel that can easily be muted in post, but good food for thought
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.
Source record doesn’t work for the make of OBS users :)
Yeah that's fair. It seemed like a good solution to the problem, but your right that it probably doesn't work for most users
This is something I have realized since switching from Twitch to UA-cam (mostly anyways). If you can't put out content and carry things and be entertaining without bells and whistles, then these bells and whistles are literally all you have. Also, minus all of the bells and whistles I can focus on things a lot easier and keep things flowing without having a bunch of stuff interfering.
So how do you get more soundalerts then the standaard 50 sounds on twich
I am restarting my streaming career. I do horror games. I am trying to figure out if I should do alerts or not or I should add anything. I am a Xboxer with no camera. So, I know I need something but I'm so confused on what I need to do!
2:57 I feel personally attacked lmaooooo
1:26 The funny ad is such a great idea!
Making the sponsor the most entertaining and curated clip in the whole video is a winning point in my opinion, It really helps to follow it until the end.
And you don't seems like a moneygrabber who put it there just to earn something.
Furthermore,
Here in Italy, a UA-camr called BarbascuraX has the sponsor as its characteristic element.
People almost wait for it in every new video 😂
Love u dude… your vids are clutch… my core content is knowledge on cryptids/creatures of folklore then landing headshots in chivalry 2 as the John Rambo of archers
thank you for the insight, makes me mad all the generic advice we see online.
My core content, is changing after I finally thought about it. My core content is telling stories. Yes it will involve voices a bit as I am a voice actor/actor, but at the end of the day if I can keep someone's attention long enough to enjoy a good story. Then I will feel like I did my job. 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.
Thank you for this.
Great explination of ''Less = More''
You bring up a great point but you can also record another scene that is not getting any of the alert clutter.
"...like you did during that ad read."
Caught. Red handed.
My core content? Dad building lego sets while flying a plane around the world.
I keep things simple and just be myself. I remind myself why I do this and that's mainly to share an experience with others. So far I'm starting to build a community of people who watch me just to hang out and I'm more than fine with that.
Thanks , I’m actually starting to stream for Diablo 4, we have a small FB group and I have my 1st bby on the way , so anything extra will be great, thanks for the advice
heh, my core content is just drawing my webcomic, and talking about art. Which can be very boring if you're not into art related stuff already. I could spice it up with other stuff, but that would be the glitter on the turd xD
I am still setting up my stuff after taking a huge break after doing variety but I plan on doing F1 content on UA-cam and Twitch soon
@16:20 There are work arounds with Streamlabs.
Honestly Eljay made all good points here! HOWEVER I still want to know when someone followed, subbed, donated bits, etc. So what is a different way to be alerted by this?
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).
With my cousin, brother and I, we went with a minimalist approach and just have fun haha
I find myself deactivating more and more of my alerts and channel point redeems because I have one or two regular users who will do literally everything in their power to use them to be disruptive and annoying. I agree 100% with the point that alerts can destroy a stream's flow, and have considered doing away with redeems altogether because of these two people.
I do pistol-melee challenge runs of action shooter video games in an effort to determine if the game is balanced. I use the streams as a way to record the footage and keep the content engaging, so i'm not editing 4 hours of me staring at a shooter with no reactions lol
I know this is about not going overboard with alerts....but I NEED THAT BRICK TO THE HEAD ONE!!!! SOMEONE LINK ME PLEASE! haha ty
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.
I remember that viewer with all the dogs... Felt bad for em, but DAMN G! Take better care of your animals!
Great vid as always.
Actually I recently decided that my core content is playing league of legends.
I just have a few dozen followers, but every 4 hour stream, I get around 2 new followers and I am so gratefull for them!
Now I am wondering if that is a good first start on average?
You're funny ElJaye! "Glitter on a turd" is priceless! Love your content!
As a Pokemon challenge runner, it's tough to gain a following in such a saturated market. Your videos have interesting advice and thoughts for sure.
I think I'm glad that when I started streaming, alerts and such weren't really a thing yet. I use some now, mostly because I like to thank people for follows and I won't notice without some kind of audio/visual cue, but not a whole lot. 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.
I spent lots of time adding chat commands and fun alerts. After watching this video, I realize it may be a little too much 😭
Don't let it discourage you.
Some communities enjoy the trollish interactive chaos. It all depends on what kind of atmosphere and community you are cultivating
As an editor with 10 years experience on youtube nd just starting on twittch, I can't stress enough how right you are with that bit about overediting. Let people hear your story, you don't need to make it ultrashort for YT shorts or tkt
Wish i knew my friend, my core content is supposed to be gaming however the years of the grind still yiel an impressive 0-3 viewers when streaming *not sweating at all*
Sounds like you’re not trying to make discoverable content :)
I would argue that having your effects burned into the edit is a fault of the streamer because there are definitely ways to have that not happen, as someone who is a streamer themselves, but all your other points are totally valid! I may cut back on some things or refocues them myself because of this video
Oh it’s absolutely the streamers fault :) that’s the entire point of the video
Very interesting video. I'm a small streamer and recently got Affiliate. My mentality while streaming is that I'm playing videogames. I'm not an entertainer nor am I a clown for other people's entertainment. You can watch a videogame stream and have a relaxing and funny time without the streamer having to be histrionic about it.
I’m so shy and chill person and that shows on my stream. I have speech disability make it hard understand me on stream but I trying to make my streams more interactive and engaging for help me be entertaining
My stream alerts happen twice , anybody knows how to fix it ?, i only have one overlay with alerts (i m using streamlabs)
Reapz is easily my favorite streamer on twitch. I always drop dad jokes using his TTS function with 100 bits.
You helped me go from 1 follower to just passing 1k. And since you asked I'll tell ya! 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. But that's what separates the one's who really take this seriously and the one's who just want to take shortcuts.
"The gallery is UA-cam and Tiktok" is definitely something that nobody has ever said
Oh that Bootyyman69, what a joker!
Thanks for the video, I had some laughs and thought some thoughts.
My core content at least on UA-cam was clips from the steams and playing games Stardew Valley and My time at Portia. I recently upgraded my my setup going from a laptop to a PC and I had decided to try to do a soft rebrand by playing honkai star rail. My audience does like it because there free meaning they can play too.
I am currently streaming with no alerts or overlays, just me and the game. This is mostly because I am a Ludite with no artistic talent. While I have not found what others would call success I have found a small group of people who enjoy watching. If you enjoy strategy games and watching elves die trying to play football I highly recommend Blood Bowl.
I think my core content is enjoying funny moments in a small selection of games I play with my friends
If my friends aren’t there, it’s me enjoying struggling thru a game, laughing at my failures & hyping up accomplishments - no matter how small
the only gimmic i got is literally my pikachu onesie, otherwise im a very open person on stream ngl, been going from 84 to 160+ followers in like 20 days think, after taking a very long break xd
big part of this is ofc having great and amazing friends
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?
im just live streaming xenoblade chronicles 3 and turing it into youtube videos atm i do need to play around with alerts more
I think this video has a lot of really solid advice. I guess the one thing I do which a lot of people new to streaming might not know about or have the knowledge to set up is a plugin like obs source record, so they can record their gameplay, webcam etc. without embedding the overlays and alerts into the video file itself. It's also a good way to not have to download your vods directly from the streaming platform of a person's choice be it twitch or UA-cam. Admittedly it's a little temperamental at times and would probably work better if it was an integrated system within obs itself rather than a plug-in, I think stream labs has something like source record built into the software. Just food for thought, could make a good video? (I'm not a big streamer so i could be talking out my arse here)
The problem is OBS source record, from mine and all the partners I work with, doesn’t work.
@@StreamScheme that’s fair enough. I’ve managed to get it to work no problems after fiddling with it over a few days but a buddy of mine hasn’t been able to get it to work at all
Apparently some encoders just don’t work with it, it’s a shame because I don’t want to recommend Streamlabs…. But their source record that’s built it works perfectly…
So instead, we try encourage people to consider if they’re going over the top hahaha
@@StreamScheme that’s alright my guy I didn’t mean any harm by it. If only obs had it built in haha
thanks for the advice
Oooooo Owned made overlays for Charlie Chaplin???? I’m so glad I’m using them as well! 😂💜💜💜
I've had UA-cam Shorts ruined by alerts... so, I moved the alerts outside the center.
I didn’t catch a word limmy said where da captions at ‼️‼️
I'm keeping my Twitch alerts but ditched my TTS.
So i see the points your making and how it applies to some people, but i stream horror games and so i have a shit ton of different ways for chat to try and jumpscare me, and for me its not about the content, i enjoy horror and the interactions make it more enjoyable for me
So it supports your content :) that’s what I’m saying works and is good
@@StreamScheme there is one thing i want to add but im having a hard time getting it to work, in streamerbot you can set up an HTML overlay and display things over your game using channel points and bits. i want to set different jumpscare gifs up but I tried for months to get it to work
My core content is always to introduce people to new things in the game I play!
Finally hit affiliate a couple weeks ago. The timing on this vid could not have been better.
Honestly Owen was the best! We need him more!! He actually kept my attention during the sponsor and I didnt skip that part in the video 😅
I'll do my best! Might be boring ads for a few weeks because I am moving house but once at the new place, green screen will be setup in my garage again!

I think I might be Heavily inspired to Help out Other Small streamers by making UA-cam Videos
Thanks Eljay I will Be doing my best
I like the alerts but i mute the sound waaayyy to annoying for vods.
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.
I started My UA-cam Channel in the beginning of the year and I am still a small time streamer. My Main core is playing the games I like and upload it to UA-cam.
That ad was great
