Thank you for this video, my youtube is lacking and I find it incredibly hard to get subs on youtube. but I am excited to put in some work to try and get there. these updates seem awesome, I would love to drop twitch some day!
Fisrt time I see your channel this video need to be spread more. Really informative even for big content creator. I feel RUclips algorith can be really bad some time and some time really good. But i just think i mess whit mine by stroling shorts and 2min video for 1h or more.
Being discovered while live totally depends on how you're titling your videos. We're constantly being found by new viewers while live. If you title them strategically just like you do recorded videos when someone searches for that or something similar you're there. Great video man. 🤘😎
Interesting to look at! I think you're right, it depends on the niche. But also on another level, I think it heavily depends on how high quality your content is, and how well the streams VoD was packaged. I've noticed some gaming channels that do more cozy style content, leaving there VoDs up and published has helped them because Viewers enjoy putting them on to lurk, sleep, have in the background, etc.
@@RedactedNews ha! I was just watching a video of yours and them came here... Seeing you posting here made me think the comments were glitching for a sec lol. Much love, keep up the good work! 🙏
RUclips's algorithm is absolutely superior for ANY content creator starting streaming. Smaller, newer streamers get picked up so good by the algorythm if they stream daily with regular uploads. I've been following severall smaller Streamers jump from 50 to 500 viewers in the matter of 2 weeks. I'm very happy to see that. Consistency is and stays key tho.
I've genuinely considered starting streaming lately, been watching hours of guides of both the technical stuff and behaviour, yours especially, and I've been working on a setup the past weeks etc, but I'm not sure whether to start streaming on YT or Twitch anymore, especially with the recent Twitch changes I've heard about. I've been setting up my Twitch too, but this video has really made me consider YT.
same goes here. was planning to start streaming this coming Monday. but because of his videos, I am now contemplating whether to stream of just record and do summarized video and shorts from my recorded video.
I moved from twitch to RUclips two weeks ago. It feels like freedom - it’s going to be more work BUT I think it’ll be worth it once momentum starts. I cannot wait to do more on the platform
I just started streaming a little over a month ago and I can’t complain. YT has pushed my lives out to new people and I’m getting subs everyday. They’re making discoverability easier, we just need to capture the audience
Watched 4-5 vids completely from start to finish & truly appreciate the value & insights you provided in all & look forward to applying the information I’ve taken into the goals I am now setting from the vids you provided. Truly appreciate it🙏🏽
And they’re the most consistent, unlike Instagram who tries to do everything everyone else is doing and then changes everything again in 2 weeks. Despite all of the flaws and shortcomings of RUclips, they definitely know what they’re doing.
and it has the added benefit of not being owned by amazon. Google is also filthy rich, but them being ready to split 70/30 is still much more generous. The only real downside is the problem of fiunding specific streams on RUclips, everything else sounds like a dream to me.
This is HUGE. Thank you for putting all these changes into one video. These things will only keep improving, but they don't make it very easy to find this information out.
Cleaning up that homepage UI will be gaming changing when it comes to shorts content! Live streaming on RUclips is advantageous right now since there are more views than streamers, but Twitch's latest moves will definitely bring a lot more streamers to this platform. I hope RUclips continues to make these changes. I believe they could easily overtake Twitch if they solve their own streaming problems.
I personally prefer RUclips just because of custom thumbnails in streams. Granted, you're less likely to be noticed because of the amount of streams/channels that don't do gaming content. Also shorts ROCK (both the ones on my legs atm and the ones on YT), really helps with smaller channels get noticed!
Feelts so damn pointed at when he said "closes that game you playing, take me of that second monitor" that I actually did turn horizon zero dawn off haha :O
As a small, new channel, this was invaluable information. If anyone is scrolling through the comments to see if the video is worth it; yes it is. Watch it.
I’m not a new RUclipsr sence I’ve been on here longer but started to stream sometimes on RUclips and just started twitch last year . I’m just still struggling both sides even Instagram and TikTok and Facebook
This video was very well made and you explained what the smaller channel like ourselves were actually struggling with! We started our channel in March and focused primarily on short form content. We definitely grew however we did notice when we did longer videos the short viewers were left unaware that we even did it. We took a short break and came back with a new plan to push shorts every day using clips from longer videos and telling the viewers the long videos are on the channel however again this didn't really do much due to the difficulty for a shorts viewer to go from the shorts feed to your channel. Ever since the update has been announced we have noticed our videos getting way more views than they did before (from 5 views to 30 views which is big for us). Focused a lot more energy in thumbnails and titling also helped but with this update being announced this is HUGE! Would encourage those on the fence to take advantage of the shorts whilst these updates are being implemented!
I swapped to RUclips RIGHT before all the Twitch drama about the 50/50 splits, twitch con stuff, gambling stuff, and I'm glad I did! I had already built a community over on RUclips through normal videos that was three times the size of my Twitch following, so I get 20-60 viewers almost every stream! On twitch, I averaged at 10-20 viewers, and had never gotten above 30 viewers without a raid. Definitely happy the transition was smooth for me!
Glad it was helpful! I wrote it on the plane home from PAX and was so annoyed to get the VID, waited until I was half decent and recorded it slowly because I really wanted to release it.
To be fair, when it comes to properly sorting/separating streams, shorts, and videos, RUclips is working on a better UI. As far as I know it's already rolling out on mobile, and it is clean af. I don't think it will be necessary to unlisted streams anymore in the near future. Edit: well shoot, maybe I should've waited a little longer before pausing to comment. Anyhow, YT is certainly making great changes. Edit #2: There are lives channels in the recommended section of this video, they are being pushed.
I did it. I did my first stream yesterday and I had two viewers lol it was awesome. This is the first time in my life I'm doing something that I really like. I'm here to say thanks to you cause I used a lot of your advices and things I learned in your videos. I'm from Brasil and I stream in portuguese. I'm sure one day I'll be a full time streamer cause I finally found something that makes me feel excited about, something that drives my hungry for knowledge. Thanks again.
I am beyond so happy I found your videos. I'm building myself a new pc and plan on going into content creation and live streaming after some more planning afterwards. Your videos have given me so many resources and things to really consider once I start.
Hey man! I’ve been binging a lot of your videos, (I’m new to streaming), and I’ve been learning a lot so first I want to thank you! This is a really good video and I’ve been doing a lot of research on RUclips videos since I wanna start that too. Idk how the retention on this video is but I think that it would improve if you talked about the main point (stream hours being retained) in the beginning of the video and then went into depth. Love the videos and looking forward to watching your streams!! Edit: just watched to the end :/ I was definitely wrong lol
Today will be my first day streaming and I’m glad to hear this news. I’ll definitely be putting more focus into RUclips then I originally thought thanks to this.
Planning to get into streaming soon. Your guides are extremely helpful. Already have implemented some of your suggestions. I was currrently on the fence about what platform should I start streaming on, looks like that problem is solved now, thanks to you :)
Been streaming for a few months on twitch and was deciding to stream on both once i get my pc This video has thankfully put the thought to try to stream mainly on youtube. I have to think about it more but thanks for the idea
Totally just went from twitch to RUclips couple weeks ago and figured out what you explained in the video the hard and long way. But definitely expanding yourself in many ways is definitely an up.
This video is fire Eljay. Should have watched it sooner I feel like it's the first video I have seen that actually addresses all the changes and solutions and actually gives creators actionable methods to make streaming a real thing on RUclips.
I actually just decided last night, I am leaving Twitch and coming to RUclips so that iI can do everything in one place shorts, long form and streams. Plus I feel more "at home" on RUclips. Love your videos btw!
Doing a lot of research and will start streaming for a semester away from college to take a break and try something new- Do you think that currently streaming on twitch, then using those VODs to create videos, and then shorts to promote those videos is a smart way to start off right now to diversify? Great timing with the video too I’ve been thinking a lot about this today! Thank you for your great content for the small streamer :)
Some good tips. I just started streaming overwatch 2 on PlayStation last week on my channel. And yea. I’ve had a few people pop in but getting traffic seems hard. Still learning all of this. But I’m mainly doing it for fun. Would be cool to see it grow though.
Awesome video! I still haven't gotten into short and live here on RUclips because I never liked the messy look it leaves on the channel page, so this new change is amazing news! I make music-related content, usually around 3-4 minutes long. I was able to reach 1000 subscribers in a year but the watch hours feel like it will always be impossible to reach.
I found your video while looking up tutorials on how to start streaming on twitch. I am an artist and i want to go back to streaming while drawing after not doing so in almost 10 years, as well as making regular long form video content like studio vlogs, and this comparison and information about youtubes new features i was not aware of is really valuable! After watching your video i think i will just forego twitch completely and just start on youtube with streams as well. :) Thank you for this! I will be sure to watch some of your other tips as well.
Yup. I heard this advice a few months ago, when I was first getting started, so I haven’t bothered starting on twitch at all. I have streams, shorts, and videos all on the same channel, and I love it.
What keeps me from moving is the lack of extensions to automate interactivity. I use things like SoundAlerts and Voicemod and RUclips doesn't have a seamless way to integrate those things into your stream yet.
Thats what I was saying too and clips are not for small channels over here on RUclips either also a lot of the stuff he is talking about its for bigger channels. Dont get me wrong what he saying is true but its not for smaller channels like me.
Eijay I Love every bit of information you provide us with, thank you. (Sorry if it seems awkward to say such but wanted to let you know that there are people like me, whom appreciate it).
(On my content channel) I've had over 9k watch hours for what seems like forever. My channel is over 2 yrs old now and I'm just now hitting 900 subs, it's all 10-30 minute edited videos. Watch hours has never been a problem for me, so it's interesting seeing your take that the subs isn't the issue
Thank you for posting this. As a small streamer, discoverability has been difficult. The info on shorts is very helpful, I will be looking to upload more shorts on my channel.
I like Twitch because I just feel more "free" and so far the community seems to be better. I have a LONG way to go and I'm stuck at like 2.3 average viewers out of the 3 to become affiliate (I have everything else) lol I just want to make emotes and stickers. However, YT seems to be heading in a great direction and I do love YT. Once I learn to edit videos properly and not just upload streams but have a purpose, I may make the switch or do both. Your videos are really helping the process. Thank you for making such awesome content!
It's funny, since moving to RUclips I have felt more free than ever, streams are so fun because not everything rests of them, and I know the channel is growing thanks to the other content. Freedom is the exact word I'd use to describe my move, it's really interesting to read this afterwards.
The thing YT doesn't do yet that I hope they impliment in some form, is Channel Points. I like a lot of what you mentioned here, I may have to start considering where I stream a lot more seriously.
I've been on RUclips for almost 3 months now, doing weekly videos. I started streaming here about a month later. I don't have a lot of subs, but I already hit over 1k watch hours, because I've been fortunate enough to find some great people that enjoy my content and regularly hang out in my stream. I haven't done any shorts yet, because I hate how cluttered the channel page looks right now, so these changes are amazing! Can't wait to finally go all-in and use all these tools. Also, discovery isn't all that bad since RUclips does have some very big advantages for streams: Thumbnails and recommending VoDs. Thumbnails are super powerful in getting people to click on your stream, even if there aren't a lot of viewers - I've had multiple people come in and tell me they just saw my Thumbnail on their home feed and thought it was cool and checked it out - some of them are now in my stream every time I'm live! RUclips is also pushing VoDs like they're normal videos, so if you keep them listed, they are an amazing way to grow - Of course, they usually get a much lower CTR, since most people don't bother clicking on a 4 hour video, but when you're small, every view counts, so having this tool, as opposed to Twitch VoDs that NO ONE watches when you're small, is super helpful! Looking forward to seeing you on RUclips, Eljay! 💚
I’m excited for this change. I’m trying to slowly go away from my Twitch. I have >1500 subs on RUclips and 355 on Twitch. I like the idea of making the shorts to advertise your live while your live. This to me was one of the best ideas I heard from your video. Thank you for that. This is a long grind and it’s a hard process.
A creator friend of mine just made this move and has started over. Thanks for making this to help others understand some things better about YT as a platform. I have shared this with them and thanks again!
Great video, been following the changes really closely and been listening to you on the podcast. Been preparing for the changes heaps by starting to upload shorts and midform in the same channel, and about to do 1 stream a week on RUclips and already seeing insane growth! Thanks for being so informative and clear!
Hey, nobody has sad this, so I wanted to say that I hope you're feeling better. I hope you heal up soon. Getting sick for a long time sucks a lot. Thank you for sharing this video, but I hope you will take care of yourself for awhile.
Thank you so much for all these videos, thanks to you I finally made that jump from twitch to RUclips, now I'm chilling at 676 subs in just 28 DAYS!! thank you again man, i couldn't have made the jump with ought your help, i hope you have a great day!!
not me watching him on my second monitor as I guiltily sip my tea and avert my gaze back to my work with 'how did he know!?' running through my mind. pfft
I've had this video on "watch later" for a little over a week now since it really did feel like main monitor content, and I'm glad I paid attention. I already make shorts from my clips, but I really need to put in the time to make youtube videos. I've been thinking of trying youtube streaming for a while. I definitely need to give it a try.
was watching this but frfr the update for RUclips is here. most of the complains have been solved. my first live went into it's own live section on RUclips, and same with the shorts.
I've had shorts and lives with some produced vids on my channel (didn't believe in separating it all) and it actually works really well. I've been doing the strat of releasing a short about an hour before going live for months now and it works really well! Also I leave the livestream up after its over as a VOD and it get views. I will say that I think its a niche thing cause I have a gaming channel and the same strat isn't nearly as effective as it is with my commentary/react channel. Gaming content on YT is for sure harder to crack through I'll say. Great video with many great points.
This guy is the best for new youtubers like me and his advice is great. Please make another video for differences between the two platforms for streaming. After your advice I think, I am going to start steaming on RUclips rather than twitch. Thanks man, for helping us.
You can customize your channel page a lot on YT, and put specific playlists on your channel landing page. So I put different streaming series in their own playlists, when I’m setting up the stream, before I even go live. Shorts are also in their own playlist, and then only the current series playlist is on my channel page, the other playlists featured are my long form edited videos. All nicely organized.
Halls will help with the cough. It did for me.I find the cherry flavor is best. Thanks for this seriously useful video, even while engaged in a kung-fu battle with Wuhan! You're a beast!
i spent time off streaming to work a summer job and damn it was hard to try and recover my twitch streams. I'm gonna start trying to stream on twitch and do shorts now. Thank you for consistently sharing your content with us and helping fellow streamers.
After years of streaming on Twitch, I did my first youtube stream this week, It took a minute to get used to but I had a ton of fun with it. Will definitely be back to it
I've learned so much from your vids and have been implementing your tips in my work and I honestly have been seeing growth more so then before. THANK YOU!
Solid stuff, I made the switch to RUclips when I realized I wasn't getting *any* growth on Twitch. I got into YPP in 4 months. RUclips is the place to be for new creators, Twitch has some major changes to make.
Thanks buddy! I'm just about to start streaming in December! I definitely would appreciate of a comparison video! Because if the hype is real, I might start streaming here! ;)
It would be incredible if youtube created a “live short” system or something like it, that streamers can clip and post shorts while they are livestreaming, with the possibility of adding the link for the livestream on the short.
This is one of the first videos that actually give good advice holy. Thank you I will definitely follow this. I think I’m also about to crack and finally get a tik tok 😔
Next feature YT meed to fix. Have you tried to make clips or highlights of your steams on RUclips, it’s a pain! And no way to show changes between categories without stopping the stream. If they can add the marker/quick clipping into a downloadable file, a lot of streamers will move
I don't have the bandwidth to stream to both RUclips and Twitch and I'm not going to pay for Retream just to remove their pro-war watermark so I'm just going to stream on RUclips from now on. I've definitely got more views on twitch, but youtube saves these hours long streams seemingly forever. BTW I'm the 30,000th view!
That sounds like a quick way to hurt viewers and the retention of the video though. The updates in this all connect and interact, covering them in 3 different videos means that viewers would need to watch all 3 to understand the extent of the changes. They'd be lost, and confused due to assumed knowledge or requiring prior knowledge of other videos, this hurts retention rate on education videos, and really any video. Breaking it down this way allows anyone no matter who to watch and understand the impact properly without requiring any other work, information, or prior knowledge.
Want to move to youtube the next days finally. Now I am ready for this. Had enough of this "sad feeling most of the time to not become enough viewers and the recognition I tried to get in the last 2 years. It was okay, I have some firms and cooperations around me, but the motivation disrupts if you are doesnt "go live" everyday and "function". Its so hard to get attention on twitch and mostly "big" streamers getting the full audience you will never has had without "connection", as many as you tries. In my case I tried so many thinks out for me and the people, but the audience doesnt see it often. thats demotivating. I only want to live and spread out what I love and to show it to the people to distract them in this hard times to get the best feelings on a hard day.. Now I am ready for a chance and a new begin. Thanks for your great tips and motivation! Best
Watching this taught me a lot about RUclips shorts, and making money on RUclips. Although shorts are a side thing I've tried, now that I know how powerful it can me to drive viewers to videos or streams, I'm sure I will start making more shorts to drive more viewers to my channel.
Your videos are sooo helpful thank you so much for all the helpful info❤️trying RUclips out a bit more than twitch now, I’ve never seen much info about RUclips live

Great video man. 🤘😎
It may be different in the gaming section though to be fair...
We leave our lives up after the fact as they end up getting 50k views plus. Again I think this all totally depends on your niche.
Interesting to look at!
I think you're right, it depends on the niche.
But also on another level, I think it heavily depends on how high quality your content is, and how well the streams VoD was packaged.

Would you recommend new streamers start on YT instead of Twitch?

I know this video has been around for a while now but thanks for making this, I’ve just dropped twitch for RUclips and the info is fantastic.

Thanks!,I am going to start my channels soon and you have been very helpful and inspiring
Best of luck! It is hard work, but some careful planning and strategy goes a long way!
I hope you feel better soon eljay
I am beyond so happy I found your videos. I'm building myself a new pc and plan on going into content creation and live streaming after some more planning afterwards. Your videos have given me so many resources and things to really consider once I start.
This is literally why I never uploaded shorts!! so excited man thanks Eljay
Hey man! I’ve been binging a lot of your videos, (I’m new to streaming), and I’ve been learning a lot so first I want to thank you! This is a really good video and I’ve been doing a lot of research on RUclips videos since I wanna start that too. Idk how the retention on this video is but I think that it would improve if you talked about the main point (stream hours being retained) in the beginning of the video and then went into depth. Love the videos and looking forward to watching your streams!!
Edit: just watched to the end :/
I was definitely wrong lol
Today will be my first day streaming and I’m glad to hear this news. I’ll definitely be putting more focus into RUclips then I originally thought thanks to this.
Planning to get into streaming soon. Your guides are extremely helpful. Already have implemented some of your suggestions. I was currrently on the fence about what platform should I start streaming on, looks like that problem is solved now, thanks to you :)
yeah m etoo, I just started streaming on twitch and MANNN I FEEL LIKE YOOUTUBE IS JUST CALLING MY NAME!!
Been streaming for a few months on twitch and was deciding to stream on both once i get my pc
This video has thankfully put the thought to try to stream mainly on youtube. I have to think about it more but thanks for the idea
Totally just went from twitch to RUclips couple weeks ago and figured out what you explained in the video the hard and long way. But definitely expanding yourself in many ways is definitely an up.
Please follow my twitch 🫣📊

I stream Apex Legends ❤️💯
@@pitchblackc0d314 just did 🤙🏾
great video. I've been trying to explain this to some of my streamer friends but can't always find the words. I'll be sending them to this video :)
This video is fire Eljay. Should have watched it sooner I feel like it's the first video I have seen that actually addresses all the changes and solutions and actually gives creators actionable methods to make streaming a real thing on RUclips.
Dude thanks so much! Such a kind comment
I actually just decided last night, I am leaving Twitch and coming to RUclips so that iI can do everything in one place shorts, long form and streams. Plus I feel more "at home" on RUclips. Love your videos btw!
Thanks dude this helps alot! ive been trying to grow my channel for a few months now.
This is amazing news! I’ve been patiently waiting for these changes to happen and this video has just given me the nudge I needed. Thanks man!
Doing a lot of research and will start streaming for a semester away from college to take a break and try something new- Do you think that currently streaming on twitch, then using those VODs to create videos, and then shorts to promote those videos is a smart way to start off right now to diversify? Great timing with the video too I’ve been thinking a lot about this today! Thank you for your great content for the small streamer :)
@ ME when he answers because this is my method too and I really want to know
Some good tips. I just started streaming overwatch 2 on PlayStation last week on my channel. And yea. I’ve had a few people pop in but getting traffic seems hard.
Still learning all of this. But I’m mainly doing it for fun. Would be cool to see it grow though.
Thanks for this Vid Eljay, I think I might try youtube streaming after hearing this! hope you feel better soon! 🙂
Awesome video! I still haven't gotten into short and live here on RUclips because I never liked the messy look it leaves on the channel page, so this new change is amazing news! I make music-related content, usually around 3-4 minutes long. I was able to reach 1000 subscribers in a year but the watch hours feel like it will always be impossible to reach.
I found your video while looking up tutorials on how to start streaming on twitch. I am an artist and i want to go back to streaming while drawing after not doing so in almost 10 years, as well as making regular long form video content like studio vlogs, and this comparison and information about youtubes new features i was not aware of is really valuable!
After watching your video i think i will just forego twitch completely and just start on youtube with streams as well. :)
Thank you for this! I will be sure to watch some of your other tips as well.
Shorts are king I'm talking about the ones you wear. Great video💪
I'm gonna start multi streaming. Maximize my profits and viewership. But this is a great video. Love it. I'm super excited for RUclips new changes
Yup. I heard this advice a few months ago, when I was first getting started, so I haven’t bothered starting on twitch at all. I have streams, shorts, and videos all on the same channel, and I love it.
man just called me out in the first minute haha. 'Take me off your second monitor'
BTW this was really good advice, I am applying this straight away!
What keeps me from moving is the lack of extensions to automate interactivity. I use things like SoundAlerts and Voicemod and RUclips doesn't have a seamless way to integrate those things into your stream yet.
Thats what I was saying too and clips are not for small channels over here on RUclips either also a lot of the stuff he is talking about its for bigger channels. Dont get me wrong what he saying is true but its not for smaller channels like me.
Eijay I Love every bit of information you provide us with, thank you. (Sorry if it seems awkward to say such but wanted to let you know that there are people like me, whom appreciate it).
I appreciate it :)
@@StreamScheme :) I am eager to hang in your stream one day, you seem fun and nice
(On my content channel) I've had over 9k watch hours for what seems like forever. My channel is over 2 yrs old now and I'm just now hitting 900 subs, it's all 10-30 minute edited videos. Watch hours has never been a problem for me, so it's interesting seeing your take that the subs isn't the issue
Thank you for posting this. As a small streamer, discoverability has been difficult. The info on shorts is very helpful, I will be looking to upload more shorts on my channel.
I like Twitch because I just feel more "free" and so far the community seems to be better. I have a LONG way to go and I'm stuck at like 2.3 average viewers out of the 3 to become affiliate (I have everything else) lol I just want to make emotes and stickers. However, YT seems to be heading in a great direction and I do love YT. Once I learn to edit videos properly and not just upload streams but have a purpose, I may make the switch or do both. Your videos are really helping the process. Thank you for making such awesome content!
It's funny, since moving to RUclips I have felt more free than ever, streams are so fun because not everything rests of them, and I know the channel is growing thanks to the other content.
Freedom is the exact word I'd use to describe my move, it's really interesting to read this afterwards.
The thing YT doesn't do yet that I hope they impliment in some form, is Channel Points. I like a lot of what you mentioned here, I may have to start considering where I stream a lot more seriously.
But you can get chañel points from streamlabs or streamelements allready
@@madbruv looking into it, it is much clunkier and not a great user experience. YT needs it's own native system for it to be in par.
I've been on RUclips for almost 3 months now, doing weekly videos. I started streaming here about a month later. I don't have a lot of subs, but I already hit over 1k watch hours, because I've been fortunate enough to find some great people that enjoy my content and regularly hang out in my stream.
I haven't done any shorts yet, because I hate how cluttered the channel page looks right now, so these changes are amazing! Can't wait to finally go all-in and use all these tools.
Also, discovery isn't all that bad since RUclips does have some very big advantages for streams: Thumbnails and recommending VoDs.
Thumbnails are super powerful in getting people to click on your stream, even if there aren't a lot of viewers - I've had multiple people come in and tell me they just saw my Thumbnail on their home feed and thought it was cool and checked it out - some of them are now in my stream every time I'm live!
RUclips is also pushing VoDs like they're normal videos, so if you keep them listed, they are an amazing way to grow - Of course, they usually get a much lower CTR, since most people don't bother clicking on a 4 hour video, but when you're small, every view counts, so having this tool, as opposed to Twitch VoDs that NO ONE watches when you're small, is super helpful!
Looking forward to seeing you on RUclips, Eljay! 💚
I’m excited for this change. I’m trying to slowly go away from my Twitch. I have >1500 subs on RUclips and 355 on Twitch. I like the idea of making the shorts to advertise your live while your live. This to me was one of the best ideas I heard from your video. Thank you for that. This is a long grind and it’s a hard process.
I can’t even get live notifications on YT for subs because of the whole API problem YT has
A creator friend of mine just made this move and has started over. Thanks for making this to help others understand some things better about YT as a platform. I have shared this with them and thanks again!
Great video, been following the changes really closely and been listening to you on the podcast.
Been preparing for the changes heaps by starting to upload shorts and midform in the same channel, and about to do 1 stream a week on RUclips and already seeing insane growth!
Thanks for being so informative and clear!
Finally! I don't know why it took them so long to add an extra tab for the shorts. Thank you so much for the video.
Thx man, love you're content
Hey, nobody has sad this, so I wanted to say that I hope you're feeling better. I hope you heal up soon. Getting sick for a long time sucks a lot. Thank you for sharing this video, but I hope you will take care of yourself for awhile.
Thank you so much for all these videos, thanks to you I finally made that jump from twitch to RUclips, now I'm chilling at 676 subs in just 28 DAYS!! thank you again man, i couldn't have made the jump with ought your help, i hope you have a great day!!
Thanks for the information! I'd love to know more about streaming on RUclips. Your content has been so valuable to me.
not me watching him on my second monitor as I guiltily sip my tea and avert my gaze back to my work with 'how did he know!?' running through my mind. pfft
“ Youchooba” love the Accent 😂 awesome man God Bless
I've had this video on "watch later" for a little over a week now since it really did feel like main monitor content, and I'm glad I paid attention. I already make shorts from my clips, but I really need to put in the time to make youtube videos. I've been thinking of trying youtube streaming for a while. I definitely need to give it a try.
Thanks dude.. im going to start grinding
was watching this but frfr the update for RUclips is here. most of the complains have been solved. my first live went into it's own live section on RUclips, and same with the shorts.
lol, right you just addressed the channel page like 2 seconds after i posted the status. man moves quickly
Eljay thanks A LOT! It's really very-very important video! Clear, consistent, and absolutely transparent in details. And great news of course.
Thank you! Ive been streamin on twitch for years only gainin abt 4-500 follows Thinkin abt switchin to streaming on yt! Wish me luck
I've had shorts and lives with some produced vids on my channel (didn't believe in separating it all) and it actually works really well. I've been doing the strat of releasing a short about an hour before going live for months now and it works really well! Also I leave the livestream up after its over as a VOD and it get views. I will say that I think its a niche thing cause I have a gaming channel and the same strat isn't nearly as effective as it is with my commentary/react channel. Gaming content on YT is for sure harder to crack through I'll say. Great video with many great points.
Your videos have helped me learn a lot still, great content bro! At the end of the day streaming is just fun 😁
This guy is the best for new youtubers like me and his advice is great.
Please make another video for differences between the two platforms for streaming.
After your advice I think, I am going to start steaming on RUclips rather than twitch. Thanks man, for helping us.
I love how you broke this out; I agree with all your above; and it's nuts to think how quickly youTube has changed in only a few months.
This information is actually incredible thank you so much for compiling it all man!!
You can customize your channel page a lot on YT, and put specific playlists on your channel landing page. So I put different streaming series in their own playlists, when I’m setting up the stream, before I even go live. Shorts are also in their own playlist, and then only the current series playlist is on my channel page, the other playlists featured are my long form edited videos. All nicely organized.
Halls will help with the cough. It did for me.I find the cherry flavor is best. Thanks for this seriously useful video, even while engaged in a kung-fu battle with Wuhan! You're a beast!
I'm really excited for these changes. It's gonna make things better :)
i spent time off streaming to work a summer job and damn it was hard to try and recover my twitch streams. I'm gonna start trying to stream on twitch and do shorts now. Thank you for consistently sharing your content with us and helping fellow streamers.
After years of streaming on Twitch, I did my first youtube stream this week, It took a minute to get used to but I had a ton of fun with it. Will definitely be back to it
WOW! What a fantastic video. Thanks so much! Going to explore all of these ideas. ❤🤘
I've learned so much from your vids and have been implementing your tips in my work and I honestly have been seeing growth more so then before. THANK YOU!
Solid stuff, I made the switch to RUclips when I realized I wasn't getting *any* growth on Twitch. I got into YPP in 4 months. RUclips is the place to be for new creators, Twitch has some major changes to make.
I appreciate you addressing both pros n cons of everything
Thanks buddy! I'm just about to start streaming in December! I definitely would appreciate of a comparison video! Because if the hype is real, I might start streaming here! ;)
It would be incredible if youtube created a “live short” system or something like it, that streamers can clip and post shorts while they are livestreaming, with the possibility of adding the link for the livestream on the short.
For now you could just upload the short and then go live and it’ll put the live thing around your name when people see the short
This is one of the first videos that actually give good advice holy. Thank you I will definitely follow this. I think I’m also about to crack and finally get a tik tok 😔
I clicked on this video by accident but I stayed til the end intentionally, great video :)
>Opens game
>Puts video on 2nd monitor to listen
>"Close that game you're playing mindlessly, and take me off your second monitor"
Okay, I'm sorry
errrm how did you know you were on my 2nd monitor as I was playing a game... Get out my house! lol.
I would have never known about this new update if it weren’t for this nice and informative video, thank you!
Hope you're feeling better now!
love to see new videos in this chanel, i really like your tips and you are a big inspiration for me in content creation :3
Next feature YT meed to fix. Have you tried to make clips or highlights of your steams on RUclips, it’s a pain! And no way to show changes between categories without stopping the stream. If they can add the marker/quick clipping into a downloadable file, a lot of streamers will move
I don't have the bandwidth to stream to both RUclips and Twitch and I'm not going to pay for Retream just to remove their pro-war watermark so I'm just going to stream on RUclips from now on. I've definitely got more views on twitch, but youtube saves these hours long streams seemingly forever.
BTW I'm the 30,000th view!
Thank you for the video Eljay it was very informative and I learned so much from watching. I hope you feel better soon.
homie, great video... in parts. This is legit 3 videos in one. I wouldve loved to see it packaged better brother, no hate here
That sounds like a quick way to hurt viewers and the retention of the video though.
The updates in this all connect and interact, covering them in 3 different videos means that viewers would need to watch all 3 to understand the extent of the changes.
They'd be lost, and confused due to assumed knowledge or requiring prior knowledge of other videos, this hurts retention rate on education videos, and really any video.
Breaking it down this way allows anyone no matter who to watch and understand the impact properly without requiring any other work, information, or prior knowledge.
Want to move to youtube the next days finally. Now I am ready for this. Had enough of this "sad feeling most of the time to not become enough viewers and the recognition I tried to get in the last 2 years. It was okay, I have some firms and cooperations around me, but the motivation disrupts if you are doesnt "go live" everyday and "function". Its so hard to get attention on twitch and mostly "big" streamers getting the full audience you will never has had without "connection", as many as you tries. In my case I tried so many thinks out for me and the people, but the audience doesnt see it often. thats demotivating. I only want to live and spread out what I love and to show it to the people to distract them in this hard times to get the best feelings on a hard day.. Now I am ready for a chance and a new begin. Thanks for your great tips and motivation! Best
Watching this taught me a lot about RUclips shorts, and making money on RUclips. Although shorts are a side thing I've tried, now that I know how powerful it can me to drive viewers to videos or streams, I'm sure I will start making more shorts to drive more viewers to my channel.
Your videos are sooo helpful thank you so much for all the helpful info❤️trying RUclips out a bit more than twitch now, I’ve never seen much info about RUclips live
It’s so nice that even when you’re streaming you still talk to all us small guys🎉
