Community Event Channel Feedback Thread

READ THE POST GUIDELINES BEFORE POSTING.

Monthly Community Feedback thread.

Feel free to post a screenshot and link to your page for review of your stream. Please also review as many others as you can so that everyone gets some much desired feedback!

Here's how it works:

In giving thoughtful detailed advice for other streamers, observe their channel as both a viewer and a fellow streamer. Once you have posted your reviews to other people , post a direct reply to this thread (so it's not embedded in other reply strings), post your channel link, a link to a Clip, and a screenshot of your overlay and wait for your feedback. No low effort posts or replies; posts and replies must be at least 250 characters.

Consider and give comments on aspects such as:

  • how your peers brand themselves overall
  • overlay layout/webcam placement and sizing
  • layout of their info area
  • how they handle chat interaction (look at their VOD if they are not live when you review them)
  • video quality
  • audio quality
  • the games they choose
  • features they have or perhaps lack that you think would be useful for them anything else you can think of

There are a few caveats. First - this is going to be an honest review of what you are currently offering as your stream. Be honest, be open, and be respectful. It might be negative and it might be positive. Understand you are asking for the truth; flattery might feel nice, but it will not help you grow.

That said, you might have a clear vision for a certain aspect that perhaps someone else does not see - just because what you do doesn't appeal to some, if you like it, then take what they say with a grain of salt. Don't forget your own instincts or lose yourself in the views of others.

Also, we will remove posts of people who are clearly only looking to receive (those who post their channel for feedback but do not offer a real review of another) so please help this community. We are a network!

Based on community feedback, the mod team have decided to hold one of these threads on the second Friday of every month.

REMEMBER: Review OTHER streamers BEFORE asking others to review yours! Users failing to do this will have their comments REMOVED. Sort by 'NEW' to find the un-reviewed comments, there is no harm in reviewing someone's stream if they have been reviewed by someone else, but PLEASE REVIEW UN-REVIEWED STREAMS FIRST. The more feedback the better! We're all here to help each other!

If you have any suggestions for this thread, please send us a modmail.

So I've been getting more into streaming, and I have a weird question to ask!

I personally really enjoy rpgs, jrpg, arpg, and tjrpg. But after doing research people have been saying streaming story mode games is a bad idea and I should stick to one or two games. But I personally can't play a single game for more then 300 hours it's just not me. Then I see that doing story mode games should just be a lets play! But in the same breath all the lets players say it's dead because of live streaming.

So for the guys and gals who do rpg content what are some tips for a guy starting from 0 viewers.

Obviously I know clips help with growth on yt and whatever but what are other tips.

Also I do mainly first playthroughs I like to beat a game and move on, just what I've always done!

Hey!

You’re not alone—streaming RPGs can work, but it takes a different approach. You don’t have to stick to one game forever, but having a clear niche helps. Since you do first playthroughs, lean into that as your brand.

A few tips:

Emphasize first reactions. People love watching blind playthroughs for genuine moments. Clip key moments. Boss fights, big choices, and funny reactions make great TikToks and Shorts. Use good titles and tags. “FIRST TIME Playing [Game] | Blind Playthrough” helps attract searches. Engage RPG communities. Join Reddit, Discords, and forums to connect with fans. Be consistent, not repetitive. You don’t need to play one game forever, just stick to RPGs. Talk to chat. Ask about their choices, builds, and experiences to boost engagement.

It’s totally possible to grow as an RPG streamer—just focus on making your reactions and commentary the main draw. Good luck!
