I've been streaming on Twitch and sometimes making YouTube videos

The most important thing is I want to figure out what kind of content people want to watch. It's no secret that YouTube has the biggest audience, but I would need to get people to follow my SC channel to actually get exposure.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiJ8gK4wOysjvUMBzr947g

I tried two types of videos: first person videos of me playing and explanation videos. So far I've gotten positive feedback on in depth videos, but they don't really get many video views. Whenever I link on social media to videos they get some views, but my most popular video is how to make OBS microphone louder, lol

In terms of my Twitch, I don't really get anything out of spamming discords according to metrics in Twitch. My biggest referring website is defiler.ru

I get the most value from interacting with other streamers that will sometimes raid me. Once you get a dozen viewers you tend to stay there as more people tend to get interested in higher viewer streams with chatting going on.

So maybe improving my stream is the way to go by talking more often and responding to chats when they appear. I'm waiting for RAM to come for my new laptop so it might be cool. I'm currently streaming in 1440p, but I'm not sure if that matters for Twitch.

So anyone have suggestions?

I tried simultaneously streaming on youtube, but I didn't get any viewers from YouTube so I'm not sure it helps any. But at least I have a Live tab on my channel

Playing at this hour (Korean/Euro time) is maybe not as good, I stopped having viewers altogether (or competing with eonzerg for zerg viewers?)

It's not QUITE true, I get a few

but I didn't get anyone to host me because nobody ends their stream super early in the morning to host me

I also tried Stormgate, but only a StarCraft viewer made a comment; I had basically nobody come to watch, so I guess I'll have to suffer a small amount of lag on battle.net and focus on starcraft

An interesting thing happened, I actually get a few views on my youtube which is just live videos, mostly. I mean, I used to have just one view 7 months ago (maybe a real life friend would click out of curiosity), but now I get single digit views on all videos and double digits on some

Some guy even comments on the games, like even a few hours into the VOD

I clicked through your latest twitch streams and a few things come to mind:

1. Background noise (there's a static, this can be noise gated out)
2. Close up consistent camera shot (ur head is like 1/4th the window, people like to see the reaction)
3. Over saturated audience (I personally have 2 streams on usually cuz my PC can't handle more and I'm very to mildly active in them and watching and doing other stuff at the same time...) My most viewed BW video on YT has almost 9K views (in 7 hears) not too far away from your OBS video kek, my most viewed video ever has 479K views (in 11 years) because the thumbnail was great a camera shooting up a girl's crotch area from the game Seven Sins (37% of viewers are still watching at around the 0:30 mark, which is below typical according to YT analytics)
Britney at 50K viewers right now (fluctuating +- 5K) screaming like a madman and LoL gameplay in the StarCraft: Brood War section on this very website...)
Make of it what u will...

The noise is the actual desktop, so I did noise gate and compressor already because people complained about it

The camera thing I'll look into, thanks

What the fuck, zoom in OBS is saved, but not applied after restart. Forgot to research this issue so I'm making a note of it here. Eon also told me in a PM my mouse sound is loud. Not sure what to do about this, it goes through the noise gate since it's actually loud in real life
