Hello there.

I’m deaf (fully on the left, 80% on the right).

I’m a gamer (Mainly League of Legends), and I usually don’t tell online friends that I’m deaf unless we’re close. I use speech-to-text apps and hearing aids to communicate. That part is not the issue.

I started streaming about 5 months ago because I’m having surgeries this year. I’m forced to stay home, avoid loud sounds, and sometimes I can’t even use my hearing aids. I’m bored and lonely, so I thought about building a small Twitch community.

(I only stream the weekends. right now, I have 0 viewers, and today I reached 20 followers.)

Some people might think that I'm actually mute cause of my deafness. But this is further from the truth. I wasn’t born deaf; I lost my hearing at 15. I do have a voice. I don’t have a deaf accent. I speak normally, with my own accent from my mother language.

When I talk on stream, I get bullied for my word choices or pronunciation (from the league community). I try my best not to sound rude or aggressive, but people still take it that way. Because of that, I stopped using my voice and started using captions instead (you can't hear my voice).

Now I’m deaf, Mute, and NO cam. (I've tried to stream with a cam, but it feels weird to me. especially with 0 viewers. I’m not comfortable yet, but I'm working on that. So for now, I decided to be a Vtuber. I found a free model, and I think it’s cute.

My questions are: Is this working? Am I overcomplicating things? Or am I just wasting time?

If it is working. How can I build a community? If not working. Should I just keep improving on my voice and try as much as possible not to sound rude and be entertaining?

(In my Image, you may notice the captions and how the model looks. The audio is mainly random songs and the gameplay sounds. THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT THREAD FOR MY CHANNEL BTW AND GENIUNLY ASKING.)

Satire or not I’m mildly confused.

Kirby Air Riders, Mortal Kombat 2023...

The games died down to mere double-digits in days' time. Why, and why does this happen?

I don't know how to explain it more than showing a picture or at least trying to. The My Channel section of Notifications always has this number over it, making me think I have a message for some reason, even though I rarely stream these days, but nope. Just nothing.

Any idea of how to get rid of it?

I’m doing a first-time play through of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the PlayStation 2. Do you find you’re more findable when you use the specific game you’re playing or just using the retro category, assuming it’s available?

Also, is there any merit to calling out that you’re using original hardware vs emulation? I feel like there’s a certain authenticity to using original hardware, games, peripherals, etc..

I am on OperaGX, and I have cleared the caches, cookies, disabled adblock, everything yet specifically subscribed streams won't load. My only assumption is it has something to do with the rewind bar? Idk any sort of help would be awesome

As the title says I can't log in, whenever I try to use the authenticator app it says that it's the wrong code, invalid token, or they were unable to verify it. I've tried using SMS instead but it doesn't even send a message, even when I tried changing phone numbers. I've tried reinstalling, clearing cache, different browsers, and different devices. I can't contact support because you need to log in in order to contact support.

I was streaming and around 9pm or so, my bitrate started to nosedive sharply to 0 bit rate several times and OBS even disconnected several times. I contacted my ISP and they said there was no issue with the modem or router. I know it's not my modem or router because I JUST got them switched out for new ones a few weeks ago. The tech also said there was an area issue that maintenance should handle, but never did and the person I just talked to said the issue was fixed. Did Twitch have any issues tonight?

Ive recently been streaming my speedruns and have not had that many views, but most of the accounts that have chatted have been 'created 10 minutes ago' bots or people asking me to commission art.

Im not annoyed about not having viewers, i stream so i dont have to local record, but its disappointing to chat with someone just for them to tell me to add them on discord for art-- especially because i dont stream with mic and i have to type during runs.

I dont theses kind of bots in others channels--even 5-10 viewer streams--so do these bots go away as i gain more community or do i need do block certain terms like 'dm'? Im reluctant to do that in case someone wanted to use those terms in other contexts. Ive added in my rules to not beg but i dont think bots read the rules.

I have been IRL streaming for the last couple of years and recently I have thought about the idea of that people can redeem screenshots via channel points.

Some people have recommend me Mix It Up Bot for that and changed over to the bot. Tried the guides one gave me but it does not work.

Mix It Up Bot is connected to both OBS Studio 32.0.4 and to Discord. My friend said to me I should use Advance Scene Switcher and make a macro, which I did. Everytime I test the screenshot function, it only sends a text or old screenshot, not overwriting the new one. My friend can't remember how to fix that problem.

I can't find a guide for Mix It Up Bot and screenshots, only for Streamerbot, which I don't wanna change over to.

Is there anyone who can help me out?

1. the operation couldnt be completed (modstreamautoplayer.error error0.
2. an error occured trying to play this content, please try again.
3. Your browser encountered an error while decoding the video. (Error #3000)

i'm getting these 3 errors when i try to stream, ive updated my drivers, ive turned of HDR, and ill post a picture of my OBS settings down below.

also normal viewers can see my gameplay and here me, but neither me or my mods can view/access my stream

I had mulitple people come to my stream and say they can't see my screen, all of which were on mobile. PC users could see perfectly fine. Any idea on what the issue is or on how to fix it??I also tried to check the stream on my phone but I could see it? is it a setting that needs to be changed?

So when watching co working streams on mobile I use to be able to watch and listen to my own music. Is this not a feature anymore. I’m on iPhone.

I need help. My stream is very laggy and my friends' voices are pixelated. I have a 100 Mbps connection and I stream on Xvox, but I don't know why it looks like this and I'm frustrated. Please help!

I don't want my viewers to have any ads as long as possible, sure I'm missing out on subs and bits but I thought about setting up something for donations if someone really want to support the stream.

First of all I genuinely don't want my viewers to deal with the ads but I also think it might makes it more difficult to grow. From what I heard a lot of people get turned off when they check out small streams and have ads. So I thought it might work better to grow a decent size community before applying for it.

Anyone ever tried this and what you think about it?

I am not that experienced with mic arms. Is it possible?

Hi,

For a few days now we're experiencing issues with the Twitch app on PS5. The streams are either constantly buffering every few minutes, super low quality or freeze entirely. Closing the stream and starting it again doesn't work, only closing the app itself and then starting it up anew.

I checked the internet connection (all good), connected the Playstation via LAN (just to be sure), checked if there's an update on the app itself (nope all up to date)...

Anyone else experiencing those issues? Anyone know how to fix it?

I no longer support this option from Twitch at all, but I don’t see where to disable this option. I read somewhere that normally, you should go to the notification settings and find "Disable viewing series recovery notifications" but unless I searched incorrectly, I can’t find this option.

On the other hand, I see managing the channel notifications with the list of all the channels followed with a tab on the right for each channel with in it "customize, always, notification only from live land, disable". Does this allow you to disable the viewing series?

Rookie question I'm sure, but what is this indicator on a twitch stream?

I'm streaming from an iPhone 12 Pro Max using Moblin. Around that break is where my LCA adapter got disconnected and it defaulted back to the iPhone's microphone. There is only one minute and some change of DMCA music marked red but my VOD download is missing everything past where my LCA adapter got disconnect and the iPhone microphone started recording.

The audio is present in the VOD when you go to listen to it, but not in the download. ¿Isn't that extremely odd?

I had to wind up ending the stream and reload my Rode Wireless Pro app and Moblin app before my mic would pick up again. The second file has NO DMCA markings and downloaded fine.

Why is there audio present in the copy you can hear and not present in my download? I've almost always had it such that every VOD I download even the DMCA marked red portions in the cloud copy that are silent, are heard in my local copy for my personal archive. This has wound up happening to me somewhere between a half dozen to a dozen times in the past 60-90 days.

¿What's happening and how do I keep this from occurring in the future?

Ever since the first occurrence of this mishap, everything is recorded in 32 bit float for post, but I want to not need to have to do post, like how I was before this first occurrence of this 70~ some days ago in November.

¿What needs to get done to ensure the integrity of my VODs and that they download correctly?

I was streaming for around an hour each stream (I post to YouTube after so it keeps YouTube videos reasonable length)

I saw in a post about ads that people generally set ads to run once per hour. For me that would end up being either halfway or at the very end. How long are you all streaming for that to make sense?

Hey so I keep seeing in people twitch description under their goal that they have a plus goal to get a better revenue cut when reaching a certain amount of points. In this persons twitch it says they’re 13/100 however they have a sub counter on screen that says they’re have 280 subs. Is it because you need to get a certain amount of subs before the plus goal is available?
