You’ll quit streaming, with hundreds of thousands of streamers going live every month, the odds are against you, but the number #1 reason most Streamers quit is actually completely preventable, as you’ll learn in this video.

It’s called the “Spotlight Effect” and it effects every single person on the planet, it stops you doing all of things you want to do not just in content creation, but in life.

The idea of the spotlight effect is simple, it’s the feeling like you’ve been pushed out onto a stage, the spotlight has hit you, and the entire audience is sat quietly judging every action you do, you’re breathing manually, aware of your tongue resting on your teeth, and you don’t know what to do with your hands.

I learned about this effect 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with an Acute Anxiety condition, all of the things I loved to do I couldn’t out of the intense fear of being judged, but 4 years later, some therapy, and a lot of effort every single day, I am now a fulltime content creator.

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 offputting? 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.

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.
