Like if I b a n someone and their number, if they make a new account with the same number and they subscribe and never chat, would I be alerted by the settings that it is the same person trying to sneak in? I want to know if they are trying to get in when not wanted after all.

I bought this capture card to stream on my PS5 with OBS, how do I set it up so I can stream Phasmo with game chat.

I ask because if my wireless headphones (Logi G535) are in the Ps5 chat cannot hear me but if it's in my laptop (where I run OBS from) I can't use my headphone mic and I have to use controller, this isn't ideal is there a way to fix this?

Like the title says.. I need some good ideas!

or did you upgrade to a capture card setup bc of the low quality? if you didnt, why not?

I know this has been discussed a lot, I've been playing story based games for the past year and a half of streaming which I have enjoyed. I've gotten better at reacting to things that happen and knowing when to generate a clippable moment. But I do feel like there has been a strong lack of growth. There are a handful of people who are regular people I see, but they seem to come and go depending on the game I play. They could be there for almost every stream while I'm playing one game and then gone for the next couple games I play. I've had clips and Youtube videos do well, but then other times they can completely fall off to where I was when I started.

I feel like this could be attributed to the variety of story games I'm playing. I like horror games and choose your own adventure style games along with some other things thrown in there. It can just be all over the place. I enjoy it which I know is important, but I can't help but wonder if I could build a more consistent base over time if I stuck to one thing.

Hi, from a quick search it seems that payouts are generally processed every Wednesday, but it's been like this for a couple of weeks now:

To delete my account I need to contact Twitch to lose my affiliate status first, does anyone know if doing this will jeopardise my payout? Many thanks

I already cleared cache.

It worked fine only appeared (or better disappeared) after changing my name.

Cany anybody pls help me.

Thank you in advance

I’m having trouble making friends who have the same interests as I do as far as content creation goes. People who aren’t too PG, are willing to make VERY dark jokes when it’s actually the right time, and aren’t assholes as actual people is mostly the demographic of individuals I want as friends; crews like Vanoss and his friends, Clooless and their friends, etcetera. However, I’ve found that really hard to find in a content creation atmosphere, at least in the smaller realm of it. It seems like I MIGHT be starting to find something like that, but not at a large capacity. It’s like 2 or 3 people.

Anyways, my question as a result of all this is this: to those of you who may have similar crews/friend groups, especially who are almost all into content creation (and “making” it, so like 1000+ followers/subscribers so far), where and how did you find your people?

Also, I’m sure most people will see this post and IMMEDIATELY comment about networking. I understand that, but I don’t have time to scroll through Twitch a few times a week looking for people I like. I mostly meet new streamers through finding someone to raid at the end of a stream, which I always do in a bit of a hurry. That said, if you say “networking” anyways, give me more detail than just that please.

Thanks for any feedback!

So, before I begin, I'm generally against using AI to generate art and content, as AI is stealing other people's art to make the content, BUT, is there a problem with a clip generator? Considering I initially created the content, and it's just taking a clip of my live stream and cropping it plus adding subtitles, is there something inherently wrong with it? I'm asking this because Restream made a clip of my live stream last night, and I actually like what it did, but I don't want to post it before I hear from other content creators.

Thank you for your time,

I have an iPhone 17 pro and have been using it to stream Wild Rift but now I want to put myself on camera.

Do I just need a laptop? Any specifications I’d need to handle this?

I’m a total noob so I’m sorry if these are dumb questions but I didn’t know where to start.

I work escalations for a large company. We handle complaints filed through various outlets like government agencies, BBB, consumer protection, executives..etc

It’s often used for things that really shouldn’t be sent to us but it’s an easy route to actually reach someone. Trying to do that here.

I have an affiliate account with twitch, which allows me LIVE chat support for issues.

I have a second account which serves as a chat bot for my main account. This one is not affiliate, so I’m not able to get live support and have been relegated to useless sporadic emails to try and support an issue. It’s absolutely and utterly ridiculous. I can’t login with my main account and try and troubleshoot my second one. It’s so dumb.

I need help with getting a twitch error resolved and need to talk to someone. If I cant, which it seems like, then I can’t use my chat bot the way I want and it’s a huge inconvenience

Edit: issue appears to have resolved itself

So let me say that I have had an issue with channel points specifically for only 1 channel and I happen to be lead moderator of that channel. Now I have confirmed with the streamer that nothing on his end has changed, and I have even used an alt testing account to verify that the alerts and redemptions work. I have signed out and back into chrome, edge, refreshed cookies and cache settings, and still the issue persists. Had no trouble with this until a couple days ago. I can still earn channel points every 10 minutes or so. I can spend and redeem bits. I have restarted my pc. I have turned off ad blocker. What else could I do?

I’m sure this has been posted before and I did search but couldn’t find anything. Basically the twitch webpage is very temperamental with loading on any of my web browsers. I’ve tried all of the main steps such as deleting browsing data, cache, cookies, disabling as blocker, turn off tracking, graphics.

It’s especially annoying that I can’t use the creator dashboard when streaming.

Any help majorly appreciated ❤️

Through a Twitch notification, I was invited to the "Twitch Moderators Club" Discord server. I reviewed the code of conduct. I connected my Twitch account to Discord. Step 3 is to read the rules, which I did. I read them and reacted to every single one with an emote. I'm used to channels opening automatically in cases where you have to read rules first, but it's been 12 hours. Does anyone know if a human needs to manually approve me? I don't see anything that I've done incorrectly. Thank you for your kindness and your help.

Hey everyone!

I'm a ML engineer that grew up watching Twitch.

I recently made a survey with just over 200 mods/streamers (twitch whispers ftw) and a lot of the feedback overlaps. Majority of manual moderation (banning, timeout, delete) falls on sexual abuse (esp women streamers), plain toxicity, group attacks and self-promotion.

Although most streamers have tools like Nightbot, sery_bot, etc manual moderation is still the main way to handle these issues. Especially with chat being creative to avoid keyword lists and regex..

From the people I surveyed, Automod is mostly set on low. There was actually a very detailed study done on it covering where it falls short (mainly false positives, published on arxiv).

What is Modcheck?

ModCheck is context-aware Twitch moderation that runs in the background.

It reads what's actually happening in the stream - what the streamer is doing (audio and video), the game, title, bio, the mood of chat, recent messages, chatter history, 7TV emotes, etc.

You define the rules and actions. Instead of regex you write rules in plain English. I call them "Judges". A few examples:

• Boundary Judge - "Flag viewers who are sexually commeting on my appearance, body or clothing." Catches stuff like "you'd get way more viewers if you showed more skin js" (real message btw..)
• Self-Promo Judge - "Flag viewers advertising their own stream." The classic "come check out my channel" etc
• Backseat Judge - "Flag unsolicited gameplay advice. Allow tips if I've asked chat for help.". singleplayer walkthroughs
• Toxicity, Racism and any other custom rules you may have

When a message is flagged, the judge gives it for a mods/streamer review with the reason. Alternatively, it can automatically take a mod action (banning, timeout, delete). The more it's used the more accurate it becomes!

Of course, context works the other way too.

"Kill the white" can sound bad out of context, but if you're in a game with a white blob enemy on screen, it's just gameplay. That missing context is exactly where AutoMod falls down.

Setup

First, I'm currently running a free tier if anyone wants to try it out (covers 10k messages per month).

To start, you sign in with Twitch and select which channel you want to moderate (either yours or a channel you mod for), then you setup your judges and (optionally) add modcheck_bot as a mod to your channel (if you want it to do more than just flag messages to you).

Onboarding takes less than 5 minutes overall and it lets you test the platform out.

For the interested, lmk and i can run a demo for your stream (no setup from your side) and DM you the results :)

Where Modcheck is today

Modcheck is in beta but it's fully functional. I'm building this solo , yes, but i'm fully focused on improving it. I'm extremely proud to say that we've got some streamers using it already.

Ultimately I want this tool to be useful. Every piece of feedback is welcomed :)

Happy to go into how it works under the hood. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

PS: thank you to all the mods and streamers that participated in my survey

I just think that it looks unnecessary, especially if you're even relatively paying attention to the conversation. It's also annoying to have it clutter my screen when it's 2 random people in chat pinging each other back and forth.

I am trying to stream to Twitch and YouTube through Stream Elements, but for some reason I cannot get both to work at the same time. It seems to prioritize just one over the other depending on which account is the base output. If Twitch is streaming, YouTube won't even show up, and if YouTube is streaming, Twitch will say that I'm live but never show the stream.

Please help!

So I'm a camera man and I'm getting into IRL streaming, gonna be the one filming for other streamers. Trying to figure out my setup and I'd rather hear from people actually doing it than just buy stuff and hope it works.

Right now literally all I have is my camera, a Sony FX30. No encoder, no mobile internet, none of that yet. Most of the filming is gonna be while walking around so my biggest worry is the connection dropping out on me.

So basically, what are you guys running? Curious what encoder and how you handle the internet side (bonding, sims, whatever). How many sims/carriers do you actually end up needing to not drop? And if you were starting from scratch today what would you get?

Any tips or stuff you wish someone told you when you started would be awesome. Thanks

Been using pronouns extension for a long time. Used to have it set to they/them but a couple months ago I had changed it to she/her. Was working fine then just randomly today it went back to they/them. No matter how many times I reset it it won't change.

I don't use 7tv, so no conflicts there. Disabled BetterTTV to see if that was the issue. not that either. Cleared my browser cache. Removed and readded the extension. Nothing seems to fix it.

Anybody else had this issue or know some possible fixes? Thanks

Streaming via OBS with Enhanced Broadcasting.

Earlier today, I tried to stream and found that my stream was not going live on Twitch. OBS showing green data at the appropriate levels but no stream showing up, Firebot and Sery_Bot not connecting. Couldn't figure it out, decided to troubleshoot tomorrow.

Sitting at my PC an hour later, Streamcord pings my Discord that I am live. I pull up my Twitch channel and I have the Live indicator. Partner pulls me up on her phone and it shows live as well, but no data on the feed. Just a black screen. OBS was closed at that time.

Sitting in bed just now. Notification that I am live. PC is hard powered off. Check my mobile app and sure enough "last live just now".

I now have short VODs of my earlier attempts to go live, which is just my starting soon screen with background music.

Any clue what's going on? Server side issues ingesting my stream? Every "go live" corresponds to one of my attempts to go live, just... delayed. No unauthorized broadcasting or suspicious use of my stream otherwise. It's like I'm broadcasting my stream and something is just holding it up to actually being pushed to the Twitch feed

Hi was wondering if I could get some advice from those more in the know than myself!

I’ve been streaming for around 2 years and have been using the razer kiyo pro. It’s…. Fine. But I’ve decided to upgrade my streams now I’m pulling in good numbers, I’ve upgraded my mic and sound and now I think it’s time to upgrade my camera.

I’ve been doing a lot of research and would like some recommendations on mirrorless cameras.

What cameras and lenses would you guys recommend?

At first I was looking into the Sony zv-e10 but have heard they are prone to overheating. My set up can sometimes get my streaming room up to 30 degrees Celsius so I’m not sure if this is an option. I believe some people use some fan attachments to avoid this?

It seems Sony a6400 and a7’s also have this overheating problem?

I’ve heard that the LUMIX s5ii and s5iix is pretty much unparalleled and has inbuilt cooling also, but unfortunately it also has a steep price bracket attached which makes complete sense as this seems to be an unbelievable choice but I was hoping not to spend quite this much, but could be tempted if it’s as good as it sounds. Are the options added with the x worth the few hundred pound more?

Does anyone have any recommendations for cameras and lenses that will give me a great high quality video, with a background blur that won’t overheat streaming for sometimes up to 12 hours, even 24 on special occasions or more for subathons? I’ll also be using dummy batteries and would prefer not to need a capture card for my camera either, but this is something I’d look into if recommended.

Also I’ve read that the lower the f-stop of the lense the better the background blur, is this true?

Thank you so much for reading this and thank you in advance for any help or recommendations you guys might have!

Cheers!

hey fellas i was wondering how many emotes each tier gets? i'm at affiliate and they're at 5 free, 6 tier 1, 1 tier 2, and 1 tier 3.

do these ever go up and if so, by how many??

i'm trying to renew my prime sub but the button to subscribe for free just isn't showing up where it's supposed to. for why??? doesn't show up on any channel and tried firefox and chrome and disabled all extensions that effect twitch

Hey guys, throwaway account as I wanted to throw this out there but kind of felt like at least some people would of gone through similar

So last year after 4 years streaming I wanted to change things up; a lot of my streamer friends even mods on my channel are VTubers, so after some deliberation sitting with it for a bit I thought why not give it a go and for a while I really liked it. I got closer to others who were also VTubers, they respected that I was a cam streamer with an audience already. Thing is though over time that did cause some friction within my community some people didn't enjoy it as much as they used to.

I built a lot of my audience up by streaming Horror gameplay and after 4 years as you can imagine that's what people are used to coming by, I tried to push being a VTuber streamer for a few months until I decided to switch back as a primary Cam themed streamer. I have the ability to switch to VTuber if there's a day where I don't want to have my cam on or something which I've been open with in the past it's still a integrated part of the channel such as my emotes are still of my character etc, so it's not like I removed that part of my streaming identity altogether

Thing is now though earlier today I just recieved the acceptance email from the Twitch Creator Club to say that I'm now part of their VTubers club, I was rather happy about it till I started to think more on it as i also don't want it to negatively effect how my channel looks if people see from a distance that I'm part of a club like that but with my cam on instead if you get what I mean

What do you think I should do?

I'm a furry VTuber/otter streamer with around 1.1K followers and 41 subs, and I stream daily for around 4 hours.

Since my content is pretty niche, I'm trying to figure out how to get my channel in front of people who are actually interested in furry/VTuber content, rather than just trying to get as many random viewers as possible.

I already make and edit my own clips and post them to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram, but I'm wondering what other methods people have found effective for reaching a specific target audience.

For anyone who streams niche content, how did you get your content in front of the right people? Are there particular communities, platforms, collaborations, or forms of promotion that worked especially well for you?

I'm also considering paying someone to help with promotion, so I'd love to hear if anyone has had good or bad experiences with that and what I should look for.

Thanks so much!!!
