Signed up for Sizzle, but haven't entered the giveaway yet. I'd LOVE to use Vertical, and I've gone so far as to download it. But my hardware just can't handle it, even with a dual-PC setup since both are so old. One of them doesn't even support DDR4, if that tells you anything. So if I try to use Vertical right now, OBS just crashes outright. Hoping to grind up for a new PC so I can unlock my potential!
Sizzle has basically zero functionality for anything that's not FPS - so it's a conundrum. *On the one hand* - it has functionality that covers an *enormous* swath of people streaming on Twitch. *On the other hand* - the only utility is in the one segment where there's the most streaming competition, and where Sizzle users are *least* like to succeed. There are a billion headshots made every day. Automatically capturing and sharing 100,000 of them per day is...ugh. There's a channel video from a couple years ago talking about how "gameplay with a user camera in the corner" is not going to help you stand out. Sizzle _feels_ like the exact same thing. It's an *incredibly* useful tool, yes - but since it's so focused on FPS games, it mostly seems to automate production of incredibly *boring*, assembly line, cut-n-paste content.
A second stream key would be great, but might not be possible for some streamers who don't have a strong enough internet connection. Vise versa it would effectively double twitches computing usage overnight - so some technical problems are there for that
Yeah it’s a cool idea. But being real, has Twitch made a history of decisions to make things easier for the streamer? Maybe only partners would get it. But highly doubt they’d think it’s worth the extra cost for the convenience of streamers.
@@schmittydAU I'm sorry but I don't understand what your comment adds to the conversation, that's just how stream keys work? OBS/Aitum Vertical stream for you (using your internet), and Twitch would need to process both streams, so how does that address what @HDGamerLouis said?
I had the same thought. solution: maybe the vertical plugin can be triggered ( some api thing? no idea how this stuff works) when someone creates a clip and save the vertical version of that clip. then the streamer can upload that to the discovery feed
Wow. It is so nice to have good news, especially for a brand like Twitch where it had felt like every other video about it was how they are ruining more stuff. I’m happy to hear things might be getting better for the creators who work so hard! Dan Clancy sounds like a possible Phil Spenser story. I hope that is the case!
I doubt Twitch would voluntarily want to double the bandwidth that streamers are sending to them with a second stream key - they're already far more limiting with bit rates compared to sites like RUclips so this just seems a bit pie in sky thinking. Also - decisions or not the fact that Dan is putting himself out there is a huge step up over previous leadership. Never saw Emmit Shear at a Twitch Partner party talking with anyone who approached him, so that sort of level of access is a breath of fresh air for Twitch TBH
AS far as the vertical tool. 100%. If I can edit/adjust clips that's auto formatted for me-sure. Now I'm Adobe PS, LR, Ae, Ai, Pr savvy but if I can literally spend minutes checking over my vertical story via over a browser and not have to import clip or use a 3rd party to enhance my discoverability? Let's do it. Not every streamer has the time (like this one) to create content on multiple platforms-nor does every streamer want to. I don't. I once managed 12 accounts at one point, so creating my own plus the 12-at the time would be too much. THEN some streamers moderate other streamers. So this would be a win as well if Moderators had access to edit/post that content as well. However I'd like to see stories based on my interest. So having a filter would be ideal where we don't have to search live feeds. Some of us don't care for certain games. So having a filter in the discovery feed would be grand! Hell even we want to filter non-affiliated, affiliated, and partner stories. LFG. Cheers.
Honestly refreshing to hear some good news coming from Twitch. Been away from the streaming scene for a long time now, but still have friends that are continuing to rise and grind and I hope nothing but the best for them!
Thanks for keeping us up to date on the announcements from TwitchCon Paris. I did attend as well, but I was so checked out about Twitch that I didn’t care about the announcements and only went to support some fellow creators’ workshop. I appreciate that Twitch finally pulled their heads out of their butts and started trying to create new tools for the creators. The issue I take is that it feels like the announcements were in response to their major bloodletting of creators due to their controversial ad policies (which they sorta walked back, only to expose even murkier things about brand exclusivity, especially for a former affiliate like me). If they never released their greedy ad policies and followed up with gaslighting the audience with their “ignorance” or “complete misunderstanding” of their ad policies, then I might’ve stuck around longer and kept streaming. As of now, I’m just going to passively watch. Having said this, tools like these do take a lot of time and a lot of political maneuvering, so I’m sure they were being developed long ago, so I will point the finger at their leadership for making the wrong decisions that resulted in me leaving the platform. Thanks for calling out the inner turmoil within Twitch, particularly with Dan Clancy. I met him at Paris and got a high five from him. Thanks for keeping it real, Harris. 🤙
Clancy is actually going on the floor and talking to the streamers and viewers in person, which is something that hasn't happened at Twitch in a few yrs.
They need to allow people to upload their own edited clips, that’s the whole thing with TikTok. No one watches raw clips there, and I’m pretty sure no one’s going to want to watch that on Twitch either.
I remember I was walking by elgato promotion stand and saw you streaming there. It was pretty cool to see you in real life. Twitch Con Paris was amazing
The problem I’m having with the vertical clipping feature is sometimes the skinny canvas may MISS a key moment that may happen onscreen that is too far left/right on the gameplay source for the vertical clip to capture. What would be cool is a way to situate your camera at the top and record it as usual, but record the gameplay source as a horizontal canvas then export the footage with the ability to “scroll left/right” and “zoom.” Ngl, I have no idea how that would work.
It would be a canvas size thing probably If you could export it in full res and just provide a clipping tool the adjustments could be done in premiere but then its getting complicated again.
I struggled with this too at first. I think you could set up the vertical canvas to have a normal resolution and then edit the videos with panning/zooming etc. but what I ended up doing is just positioning my vertical sources so that it only cuts off some of the action. I use a Gaussian filter (or any filter) to create a blur background and my gameplay is about 2/3 the size of a normal canvas, with the edges trimmed a bit. You do still miss some of the action this way, so if there's anything you really want to catch then I'd recommend using replay buffer as well. Not trying to self promo but if you look at my shorts you can see how I've positioned it. Works about 80% of the time, and when I miss anything I use replay buffer to catch it in 1080p Good luck!
@@refl3xes835 What if there was a special canvas setting that allowed you to set up the short form feed on the right side of the canvas. That way you would only have one canvas. Twitch would see all of it but know this is 16:9 section and this is the 9:16 area. It would make the canvas like 20% more data maybe?
@@calebb4782 That definitely sounds nice, and I hope that more streaming platforms start incorporating things like that. I love the Vertical plugin but setup can be a little complicated. I've tried getting friends to use it and they sort of give up on it hah
All shorts do is continue to test the creator’s ability to capture the interest of people with attention issues in the first second. This is completely irrelevant to broadcast media.
twitch is a dying breed, it will be dissolve by amazon or sold off in the near future. as its fails to innovate and like the DMCA process they created its not fit for purpose. they need to adopt the youtube method
I'm going to be honest here and say that none of this matters if the platform is plagued with ads. No one wants to "discover" new streams and get hit with non-stop ads.
It's genuinely exciting to see a video about Twitch that's optimistic. The platform has never been perfect, but to hear that there are folks behind the scenes that are trying to do right by Twitch users and streamers is refreshing and gives me a bit of hope.
The discoverability thing sounds great in theory, sadly in the past Twitch has always done things halfway or changed their minds on things. I have been Twitch Loyal for over 5 years. If they can actually do this right, it could be a game changer. I'm one of those streamers who goes for 8-12 hours, 7 days a week, so my non live time is very precious. Being able to broadcast in a vertical format at the same time would be so helpful. Maybe Twitch is finally listening to it's streamers for once. I look forward to the future. Also Harris, I love your content, I found you before the name change when I was looking into streaming for the first time. Thank you for what you do. The Tutorials and just valuable information.
Twitch has gone through a rough couple of years but I think there's still an opportunity to turn things around with the continued experimentation and rollout of new features as well as an engaged leadership. People forget that RUclips also had it's fair share up ups and downs over the years but remains at the top of long for video content. I think Twitch can remain the leader in streaming if they continue the path they're on.
Happy to hear you being optimistic about Twitch, Harris. Recently I gave up on streaming because I couldn't enjoy streaming on Twitch anymore, and also real life got in the way. I'm hoping these new updates and changes make things better not just for current streamers, but new streamers coming into the space now.
@@jasperdiscovers I understand. But I’ve also never heard a single person ever say anything negative or controversial about Dan. It’s always the behavior of the company in question. Likewise I could say it’s not news that Dans cool. Does not solve the meddling from above him.
Seeing Twitch make moves towards no longer being a place to just watch streams, but also to discover more and (hopefully) interact with the community you build is fantastic. Sure it _feels_ like it might be a little too late for it, but Twitch is still one of the bigger known names when it comes to streaming platforms. If Dan continues pushing for these improvements, he will be the reason Twitch continues to thrive. My hope is they continue to build out features like Stories to allow engagement on the platform itself in some way, even if it's similar to RUclips's community posts. Just a way for creators to interact with their community directly on the platform where their content is consumed would be a huge benefit.
I think if Twitch can continue on this trajectory, toward discoverability and adding features we've been asking for for years, they could make a serious "come-back" in the platform wars
Come back implies they fell behind in some way shape or form. They have maintained their position as the top live-streaming platform the past 10 years. No other platform have even came close.
@@xSNACKERx okay maybe it sounded like they fell from 1st place in market share, but they absolutely had lost the game of growth. Ground has been actively being lost by Twitch, but this could help stop the bleeding
I love the idea of twitch automatically making a vertical clip at the same time and this works for any game that has a set point of focus. The issue that some of us would run into is when the horizontal plane is spread out too much and the entertaining portions of the clip cannot be in the same screen. I think the idea for a majority of clips is perfect. I would also like to see the ability to further breakdown the clips to take in the wider shot as well. I am not sure how this could be accomplished outside of shrinking the whole screen to fit or possibly having a strange split screen that makes to content disconnected.
Met Dan at the Toronto Meetup a few months ago and while the meeting was brief, I was optimistic after we chatted. Also, as an avid gamer who's favourite thing to do is touch grass, I can tell you those things and caring about Twitch are not mutually exclusive 😂
I agree with everything said in this video. I have tried multiple streaming platforms but always come back to Twitch. It’s home. Excited to see if they can turn it around!
Lots of good updates and a nice breakdown, thanks! The main problem i see with a second stream of the vertical to Twitch is the fact that Twitch would have to encode that, too. Something they seem to already struggling with considering affiliates and below don’t always have encoding available. So having streamers essentially take up twice the data, two feeds that separately needs encoding of 6000kbps, on top of the internet-requirement on the streaming end, makes it not so likely. I more so think your other idea of editing vertical clips (mentioned in another video) is more likely to happen
One thing I miss so much streaming on RUclips is Twitch's highlight editor. It's so much more stream lined than RUclips's, and hearing it's getting functionality updates makes me miss my friend. Hopefully with more discoverability, stories, and a new feed they can sprinkle some ads there and take a bit of the burden off of live streamers.
Twitch literally had the "discovery feed" a long time ago. Way back around 2016/2017, they had the "Pulse Feed" and it was EXACTLY WHAT THE DISCOVERY FEED IS! I was so confused why they shut it down. It was SO GOOD.
As a very, very new streamer I WANT to stream on twitch as the platform feels great and easy to use compared to the competition. I'm not here to make a career out of it, I'm here to showcase and build my skillset as an aspiring content creator as I need an outlet for my creativity. So what Harris pinpoints does indeed make me optimistic for the future which in real terms, keeps my focus on twitch and not split between the others. Again thank you Harris.
I honestly Very agree with this take!! its truly incredible to see twitch step forward after its been long regarding the things you and so many people have been asking for and at least this man has been genially trying improving twitch possible despite some of the Poor decessions taken in the past. these new improvements are super awesome and hopefully id say with this rate hopefully twitch will improve even more in the future that it will continue to grow in a stable way.
We also need to be able to edit the clips the same way we do on tik tok or yt shorts, often the raw clips from a twitch Stream are boring or takes too long to get to the funny portion. Being able to edit would help us grab more ppls attention as they scroll
Senpai Gaming just got interesting again ;) For real though, this is the first vid on the channel I've watched in a while now that I'm finally taking the leap to full time streaming/content creation, and I get the feeling I'll be back more often now too. Refreshing to hear some things to be optimistic about!!
I think it would be a great addition if you could stream regularly and simultaneously clip in vertical format, it'll give you a lot more freedom to spread your content. But I'm even more curious about (con)joined streams, we had a similar system only for partners and it was a reason why I stopped streaming, because I wanted to aim for more of a talkshow setup. If we were able to have more multi-streaming capabilities I think I'd might get back on the horse
Every change can be good and bad , but atleast you can see the efford , maybe to late but we will see^^ I really hope that little streamers would get more discovered in future coz there are beautiful people on platform that no one knows about
YES!!! The second streaming key for vertical content makes SO MUCH SENSE!!! I already make clips with it but I just hoard them on my PC after making them because I forget to post them!
the CEO sounds like he knows what he’s doing. Watched some of his streams and have had friends meet him at twitch con and only positive vibes from this dude. It seems like he really cares and wants to get to know people and help them. From a company as huge as twitch, this is a really great look! He seems more like a leader than a boss. I’m excited for the future of twitch!
I have been wondering about one thing. Is there really something stopping us from downloading our clips, then editing them the way we want with a nice transistions, subtitles etc. And then streaming them on their own during a part of your stream so you can clip them later and have a good and edited clips in clip discovery instead of just plain clip? Like, most people won't bother cuz it's a lot of work but it provides you with good quality clips that do stand out so I feel like if there is nothing stopping us then it will be a good thing to do
I hope this somewhat positive fight to make the platform better continues. As a person who is barely getting into content creation, I feel Twitch has a better chance of connecting me to my audience in terms of live streaming. And I really hope the new discovery feature is going to be easy to use to get more people to join my streams
This situation definatly screams, competition creates innovation. Before Kick, Twitch really didnt have a rival. Sure there was RUclips and Facebook gaming but they were never really rivals. (Facebook Gaming is currently on its death bed right now) But now they have a rival and they've jump started all these changes when the website pretty much didnt change anything for years. Its beautiful to see. Sad that it had to come to that point to see change though.
No matter how great the changes seem, at the end of the day, it's going to come down to a lot of excited people streaming with only goal in mind. To achieve success on the platform. It will still come down to one very important factor: that little number that shows how many people are currently viewing a stream. New and potentially new viewers see a low number and that affect whether or not they will stop and view. So as per the usual, large mega-streamers will continue to consume everything like giant black holes tearing up the Twitch-o-sphere, because Twitch will still pushout the heavily engaged high-viewer count streams over the small ones.
I use RUclips shorts for a lot of the videos I post of my gameplay, but the only reason I do that is because the shorts get more views than the full video. The problem is that even including the link to the full video in the description people will only watch the short and NOT the full video. That’s where I think the whole RUclips shorts and Facebook REELS ideas ultimately fall short of actually making your channels grow. Additionally, I don’t like the vertical content. It can crop out a lot of important contextual information that helps people know what’s actually what’s going on in the video.
A good friend of mine who streams art had a booth selling merch and Dan was walking Artist Alley he spoke with them and plans to commission emotes from them. He seems to be a genuine guy and is trying, more than previous leadership at least.
no extra editing from us but does it take extra processing and cost for twitch to encode a separate feed aside ours, with the very few that will jump on board with this ( the cost would not equal reasons to worry on their end ) could be solid 🎉
Streaming on Twitch is really becoming an enjoyable experience again. I had all but given up on Twitch a year ago, but ever since Dan took over, I've found myself really enjoying a lot of new things Twitch is doing. Hopefully they keep going in this direction.
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME! I just started streaming and taking it super serious 2 months ago. I’ve been struggling to keep up with doing all the little things we need to do to get a following. Especially because I have my main job, my wife and family and then streaming. So trying to find time to make clips or content outside of twitch is hard and by the time I get around to it I’m already exhausted. I hope these changes are implemented well because if they are it’ll help small streamers a lot!
I truly think that Twitch is still on the top of the streaming platform. Nothing really comes close to what they do and how it is done. YT Live kind of sucks. The discoverability is so bad with it, 3rd party sites were created just for discovering new live content. The chat for YT Live is a mess, imo. I love how Twitch lets me customize my username color. This helps me so much with keeping track of where I am in reading chat. YT Live, everyone of each ranking is the same color. Resulting in me easily being lost in chat. YT Live also has 2 different chat options, "Top Chat" and "Live Chat", which I forget which one is which, but 1 shows all of chat and the other hides some messages for some reason. Some streamers on YT Live do not know about this and end up missing a good chunk of messages. YT Live ads, imo, are worse than the ads on Twitch. I've seen an ad pop-up on YT Live that just completely breaks the stream, forcing me to reload the page. Never happens for me on Twitch. YT Live ads do allow me to "skip ad" sometimes, but this hurts the content creator. Why openly give an option to hurt a content creator? It seems so wrong. Speaking of ads, when an ad plays on YT Live, a big ad banner appears above chat, pushing chat down on the page. Very annoying. And then we have Kick... the cesspool of garbage that was banned from the other platforms and is a copy and paste of Twitch, but with no rules. Possibly the bottom of the live streaming platforms.
Got to meet Dan at TwitchCon San Diego and he was such a cool down to earth guy and we exchanged stories about being parents and even gave me some fun pointers on how to do bed time stories with my kid.
It’s great to see some good changes actually happening at Twitch. The communities that live on Twitch are amazing. I want it to keep getting better from here
I agree I’m slowly becoming a DjClancy fan. Such a genuine guy on stream, he has a lot to learn but also he “is” willing to. He even asks questions himself! ❤
One of my issues with Twitch is you are kinda grinding the equivalent of a dead end job. If you some how manage to break through and reach partner it doesn't have any real value other than bragging. The ad experience is also still very terrible and painful to deal with. A lot of the problems with viewers is that they are just comfortable with going to Twitch. I've recently started grinding RUclips and used to do 1 hour streams on Twitch before switching over and having to wait when you get the "got an ad" message gets really annoying because you know it is hurting your channel and effecting your flow on stream. You can't afford to get into the swing of things because you don't want viewers to miss out on the action. With RUclips you can pretty much just get on with it. I suppose in the end at least Twitch is making changes. Personally I'll be sticking it out on RUclips since I like how personal you can get with scheduling live streams and honestly I just don't have that much faith in Twitch anymore. If Amazon is getting annoyed at Twitch's performance I won't put it past them of shutting down the service. RUclips is at least a hell of a lot more stable.
I halfway expected to scroll down and see an argumentative comment from Shear about being checked out, but if I had his money I sure wouldn't be Googling myself.
Twitch got complacent during Covid not realizing that the norm of 2020-2022 was not going to be a forever thing. Kick coming out was a light under their butt they needed to start doing new things. Now if this will save them is yet to be seen but who knows... it's still too early to tell.
I think the easy win for people is to be able to upload the vertical videos for the discovery tab. Granted I know I’m a dinosaur, but I still edit my clips and then make vertical versions for tiktok and RUclips shorts. It’d be super easy to just upload them to twitch discovery too.
First time learning about the new CEO, guy seems awesome and it seems like a genuine fresh happy face and not just some jaded tech ceo Seems like he can bring it back, and im rooting for him!
I absolutely love your ideas man! You have helped me out a lot with my streaming stuff and the vertical is God Sent lol! if they could use it for the discoveries it would put twitch on another level i hope! thanks a lot man, you are awesome!
The second stream key is indeed very interesting for it would make it FAR easier. Problem with it is: 1. Is the streamer's internet good enough? 2. The programmation for it would actualy be hell to do for it has to stay hidden as a backup for the stream itself (which sadly enough would actually make the stream VoD heavier to view), would need a check to switch between 16:9 to 9:16 and it would be the same thing for the clips in themselves, making them also heavier to watch but also and most importantly, to make. As much as the idea is great, this WILL increase the server usage at an incredible level in which might resolved into: 1. More stability problem overall on Twitch. 2. A shorter time before deletion of old VoD. For now, none affiliates are at 30 days before the VoDs get deleted, affiliates are at 6 months (i think. Imma fact check after finishing this comment) and a year for partners. Just from the perspective of non affiliates and affiliates making most of Twitch's streamer community, the amount of VoD kept wouldn't be THAT bad, but the amount of clips made (which are still permanent if i remember right) will saturate the servers since if it's not the viewers who do the clips, it'S the streamer that does them themselves (Otherwise, they're shooting themselves in the feet for not diversifying their content and increase their internet presence). But still, that would be really amazing to have all the streamer tools within twitch and adding the second stream key, despite all the throwback, would be an amazing step towards that.
I’ve been using aitum and you have so many good ideas. Very inspirational and I strongly agree with the vertical live streaming. Tiktok Live studio is starting to become the META for streamers to grow off of tiktok algorithm. Love your vids keep up the good work❤
An alternative that would require far less computing power on twitch's end would be to use that graph you mentioned, with some twitch integration into your vertical video plugin, which could be used for recording rather than a second stream to twitch. Use the graph idea to add easily navigated timestamps in some form to the vertical recording, and simply upload to twitch from there.
It's better late than never right? I've been alternatiing the platforms I stream on daily. Twitch one day, Kick/RUclips the next day, then repeat. I want to give all these platforms a fair amaount of time before I say X platform is the best. It's good to diversify anyways. This is good stuff. Thanks for sharing, Harris! Also, thank you for *StreamBeats!* I love the hip hop playlist and I don't have to worry about claims or strikes. Thank you.
I'm super curious to see where Twitch is headed! I agree that it's starting to look good and there have been a LOT of changes recently. I'm also skeptical, but we'll see what happens!
I was there and Dan is cool, walking between people and even have time to talk with some people there. Respect. I was even on photo with him, that is already special for me. Hope Twitch will stay positive for most people. I still don't trust Kick platform (has big gambling part) and i don't think Kick has everything for ex-Twitch streamer. The high cut 95/5(?) is still a question for long term, because Kick needs money too to grow.
honestly love "the vertical in the background" idea, i would also love it if the stream gets send to twitch in all the seperate elements (cam/mic/game/...) and then a total coding gets send out to the viewers (so twitch kinda becomes like OBS) but this is probably impossible
actually this would be possible with the 2nd streamkey, use your PC/IPAD/... to play a game, send that to twitch and use your phone as a cam/mic on the 2nd streamkey then you can move it around as you see fit for clips/stream or remove them entirely for YT content if you want and your brb/starting soon/alerts could be on twitch servers, Harris you're a genius
Dan will be immortalized if he can turn twitch around. I dont see his streams or follow him(I probably should) But it seems his heart and professional side is in the right place. But by seeing a few clips and him speaking he seems like a genuine guy.
Thank you for telling me about sizzle. I never get people making clips for my streams so I have to always go into my stream myself and clip. This helps alot!
Glad to see Twitch trying and that Clancy is possibly trying to make things better. If Kick ends up being the 4ewl deal though idk how they can compete with them especially if they follow through on their hourly wages.
Yeah, RUclips gets me more engagement, Rumble give me more money, and Kick is just better than Twitch overall. If Twitch fires all the ret@rds they employ than I'll stream there again.
6:30 "sifting thru a list of clips your viewers created" - most of us should BE so lucky. most clipped moments is aspirational for the majority of streamers.
I feel like hope is coming back regarding the platform, al though I've never left but I'm glad there are huge changes for the better. Even if I'm still skeptical as well, only time will tell how things turns out and if they are as good as they are painting them to be. Got to say I like your idea about simplifying the clip uploading process for the discovery feed. That would make things less heavier on everyone's back after ending streams.
I wonder if for the discovery feed they could limit the clips you see to streamers who are LIVE when you've opened the feed? If they're keen to get people off the feed quickly, they could show you the clip and say "oh hey they're live now, go check them out".
The discovery feed being strictly vertical would be a miss relative to what this could be. Just make it the mobile version of the discovery feed functional in both vertical and horizontal so we can get both full screen clips and vertically trimmed clips. On PC, this wouldn't be difficult at all, but mobile would just need to do what TikTok doesn't. Turn the phone horizontally and still allow me to swipe up from that position.
Talked to Dan for a short moment on TC Paris and I must say, i have hope in him. He streams himself, he is listening to streamers. Like, I know, he talked to music streamers, about their problems with DMCA and stuff like this at TC Paris....BUT and it is a big BUT...Amazon have to let him do his thing and honestly, i am not so sure about that. So, as much as I like that there are changes and as much as I am thinking positive about the new CEO...Amazon has to give him room. We will see what will happen...Also, it was nice meeting you on TC.
I honestly don't think a second stream key for vertical clips will be implemented because that will take even more precious server resources and given how insanely much streaming costs Twitch already, the executives likely will dismiss this idea on the spot
love the ideas, you always have good ideas. AND as i was watching this, I was saying to myself, Harris def said this like 5 years ago and sure enough you did. Funny, but also makes me wonder why you haven't created a "twitch" yet.
babies do scream often of planes because their hearing is hyper sensitive so the plane engine and the pressue in the cabbin all have an impact on the baby, poor lil thing
As someone who started out their content creation/streamer journey here on Harris's channel 3 years ago, it was beyond my dreams to have met him whilst in Paris. He didn't only speak to me as my content creator alias but spoke to me as the man behind it, I'll never forget the conversation and the passion he spoke with about the future and he's driven my motivations and ambitions sky high since. He Deserves endless support and here's to much more success, Thank you @SenpaiGaming😊
This is awesome to see Twitch finally taking steps forward for a change, but this still brings up the issue of ANY streamer, affiliate or not, can't multistream, which is a big hit for smaller streamers
Okay this may sound like me being Negative at least for me its not me being negative I know Twitch has been through Hell, The Ringer whatever you want to call it and to be honest I used to be a twitch streamer I have stopped doing twitch a little over 2-3 Years now so I did not like Twitch about 2-3 Years ago however the Recent Changes that You Harris has told us made me really consider being a Twitch streamer again its gonna take a Lot of work and It's gonna be hell for me to grow my audience back up to how it was before But I can honestly say that I cannot wait for what Twitch has in store for us I don't want to be completely happy cause It may change for the worse hopefully not But I will give twitch another chance Thanks for the Update Harris and I appreciate you helping & Updating us on the Latest Streaming News and also Thanks for being an Inspiration to us all 😁👍😊
Have you signed up for the cash giveaway and started getting free stream highlights yet? bit.ly/SenpaiSizzlegg
Hey, Harris, when are you next going live, buddy?
Signed up for Sizzle, but haven't entered the giveaway yet.
I'd LOVE to use Vertical, and I've gone so far as to download it. But my hardware just can't handle it, even with a dual-PC setup since both are so old. One of them doesn't even support DDR4, if that tells you anything. So if I try to use Vertical right now, OBS just crashes outright.
Hoping to grind up for a new PC so I can unlock my potential!
Sizzle has basically zero functionality for anything that's not FPS - so it's a conundrum.
*On the one hand* - it has functionality that covers an *enormous* swath of people streaming on Twitch.
*On the other hand* - the only utility is in the one segment where there's the most streaming competition, and where Sizzle users are *least* like to succeed. There are a billion headshots made every day. Automatically capturing and sharing 100,000 of them per day is...ugh.
There's a channel video from a couple years ago talking about how "gameplay with a user camera in the corner" is not going to help you stand out.
Sizzle _feels_ like the exact same thing. It's an *incredibly* useful tool, yes - but since it's so focused on FPS games, it mostly seems to automate production of incredibly *boring*, assembly line, cut-n-paste content.
i can't use the vertical thing for some reason
Yes I got screenshots posted on twitter too ^_^ gonna tag @SenpaiGamingInc
A second stream key would be great, but might not be possible for some streamers who don't have a strong enough internet connection. Vise versa it would effectively double twitches computing usage overnight - so some technical problems are there for that
the vert stream would not need as much bandwidth as its smaller
Yeah it’s a cool idea. But being real, has Twitch made a history of decisions to make things easier for the streamer? Maybe only partners would get it. But highly doubt they’d think it’s worth the extra cost for the convenience of streamers.
You wouldn’t have to use the second stream key. You would have to actually configure OBS or Aitum Vertical to actually use it.
@@schmittydAU I'm sorry but I don't understand what your comment adds to the conversation, that's just how stream keys work? OBS/Aitum Vertical stream for you (using your internet), and Twitch would need to process both streams, so how does that address what @HDGamerLouis said?
I had the same thought.
solution: maybe the vertical plugin can be triggered ( some api thing? no idea how this stuff works) when someone creates a clip and save the vertical version of that clip. then the streamer can upload that to the discovery feed
Wow. It is so nice to have good news, especially for a brand like Twitch where it had felt like every other video about it was how they are ruining more stuff.
I’m happy to hear things might be getting better for the creators who work so hard!
Dan Clancy sounds like a possible Phil Spenser story. I hope that is the case!
I doubt Twitch would voluntarily want to double the bandwidth that streamers are sending to them with a second stream key - they're already far more limiting with bit rates compared to sites like RUclips so this just seems a bit pie in sky thinking.
Also - decisions or not the fact that Dan is putting himself out there is a huge step up over previous leadership. Never saw Emmit Shear at a Twitch Partner party talking with anyone who approached him, so that sort of level of access is a breath of fresh air for Twitch TBH
You gonna rub the partner party in my face again? Man, the disrespect.
@@Senpai Do I need to fetch someone to bring you more poisonous hors d'ouvres as an apology?
AS far as the vertical tool. 100%. If I can edit/adjust clips that's auto formatted for me-sure. Now I'm Adobe PS, LR, Ae, Ai, Pr savvy but if I can literally spend minutes checking over my vertical story via over a browser and not have to import clip or use a 3rd party to enhance my discoverability? Let's do it. Not every streamer has the time (like this one) to create content on multiple platforms-nor does every streamer want to. I don't. I once managed 12 accounts at one point, so creating my own plus the 12-at the time would be too much. THEN some streamers moderate other streamers. So this would be a win as well if Moderators had access to edit/post that content as well. However I'd like to see stories based on my interest. So having a filter would be ideal where we don't have to search live feeds. Some of us don't care for certain games. So having a filter in the discovery feed would be grand! Hell even we want to filter non-affiliated, affiliated, and partner stories. LFG. Cheers.
Honestly refreshing to hear some good news coming from Twitch. Been away from the streaming scene for a long time now, but still have friends that are continuing to rise and grind and I hope nothing but the best for them!
Thanks for keeping us up to date on the announcements from TwitchCon Paris. I did attend as well, but I was so checked out about Twitch that I didn’t care about the announcements and only went to support some fellow creators’ workshop.
I appreciate that Twitch finally pulled their heads out of their butts and started trying to create new tools for the creators. The issue I take is that it feels like the announcements were in response to their major bloodletting of creators due to their controversial ad policies (which they sorta walked back, only to expose even murkier things about brand exclusivity, especially for a former affiliate like me). If they never released their greedy ad policies and followed up with gaslighting the audience with their “ignorance” or “complete misunderstanding” of their ad policies, then I might’ve stuck around longer and kept streaming. As of now, I’m just going to passively watch. Having said this, tools like these do take a lot of time and a lot of political maneuvering, so I’m sure they were being developed long ago, so I will point the finger at their leadership for making the wrong decisions that resulted in me leaving the platform.
Thanks for calling out the inner turmoil within Twitch, particularly with Dan Clancy. I met him at Paris and got a high five from him. Thanks for keeping it real, Harris. 🤙
Clancy is actually going on the floor and talking to the streamers and viewers in person, which is something that hasn't happened at Twitch in a few yrs.
They need to allow people to upload their own edited clips, that’s the whole thing with TikTok. No one watches raw clips there, and I’m pretty sure no one’s going to want to watch that on Twitch either.
I remember I was walking by elgato promotion stand and saw you streaming there. It was pretty cool to see you in real life. Twitch Con Paris was amazing
The problem I’m having with the vertical clipping feature is sometimes the skinny canvas may MISS a key moment that may happen onscreen that is too far left/right on the gameplay source for the vertical clip to capture.
What would be cool is a way to situate your camera at the top and record it as usual, but record the gameplay source as a horizontal canvas then export the footage with the ability to “scroll left/right” and “zoom.”
Ngl, I have no idea how that would work.
It would be a canvas size thing probably If you could export it in full res and just provide a clipping tool the adjustments could be done in premiere but then its getting complicated again.
@@calebb4782 yep. Nailed it. My fault I didn’t have my morning coffee before my initial comment lol
I struggled with this too at first. I think you could set up the vertical canvas to have a normal resolution and then edit the videos with panning/zooming etc. but what I ended up doing is just positioning my vertical sources so that it only cuts off some of the action. I use a Gaussian filter (or any filter) to create a blur background and my gameplay is about 2/3 the size of a normal canvas, with the edges trimmed a bit. You do still miss some of the action this way, so if there's anything you really want to catch then I'd recommend using replay buffer as well.
Not trying to self promo but if you look at my shorts you can see how I've positioned it. Works about 80% of the time, and when I miss anything I use replay buffer to catch it in 1080p
Good luck!
@@refl3xes835 What if there was a special canvas setting that allowed you to set up the short form feed on the right side of the canvas. That way you would only have one canvas. Twitch would see all of it but know this is 16:9 section and this is the 9:16 area. It would make the canvas like 20% more data maybe?
@@calebb4782 That definitely sounds nice, and I hope that more streaming platforms start incorporating things like that. I love the Vertical plugin but setup can be a little complicated. I've tried getting friends to use it and they sort of give up on it hah
I really hope that Twitch continues to make changes like the discovery tool.
Boring af in 2023
All shorts do is continue to test the creator’s ability to capture the interest of people with attention issues in the first second. This is completely irrelevant to broadcast media.
twitch is a dying breed, it will be dissolve by amazon or sold off in the near future. as its fails to innovate and like the DMCA process they created its not fit for purpose. they need to adopt the youtube method
He could not escape the infamous baby in the plane, glad to have been able to talk to you in Paris !
Loved this. Great video
Thank you for these updates Harris! It helps us keep an eye on what's coming.
I'm going to be honest here and say that none of this matters if the platform is plagued with ads. No one wants to "discover" new streams and get hit with non-stop ads.
It's genuinely exciting to see a video about Twitch that's optimistic. The platform has never been perfect, but to hear that there are folks behind the scenes that are trying to do right by Twitch users and streamers is refreshing and gives me a bit of hope.
The discoverability thing sounds great in theory, sadly in the past Twitch has always done things halfway or changed their minds on things. I have been Twitch Loyal for over 5 years. If they can actually do this right, it could be a game changer. I'm one of those streamers who goes for 8-12 hours, 7 days a week, so my non live time is very precious. Being able to broadcast in a vertical format at the same time would be so helpful. Maybe Twitch is finally listening to it's streamers for once. I look forward to the future. Also Harris, I love your content, I found you before the name change when I was looking into streaming for the first time. Thank you for what you do. The Tutorials and just valuable information.
Twitch has gone through a rough couple of years but I think there's still an opportunity to turn things around with the continued experimentation and rollout of new features as well as an engaged leadership. People forget that RUclips also had it's fair share up ups and downs over the years but remains at the top of long for video content. I think Twitch can remain the leader in streaming if they continue the path they're on.
I love the vertical stream key idea I wonder how much overhead that would make on their backend, and if there would be an upload bitrate hit.
Happy to hear you being optimistic about Twitch, Harris. Recently I gave up on streaming because I couldn't enjoy streaming on Twitch anymore, and also real life got in the way. I'm hoping these new updates and changes make things better not just for current streamers, but new streamers coming into the space now.
I spoke with Dan during TCP and it's a super cool dude who's open for ideas and very down to earth. I like the guy!
It’s not about Dan it’s about who owns the company
@@ghost-user559 the video mentioned Dan, I replied to that. It's not news that Amazon owns the company.
@@jasperdiscovers I understand. But I’ve also never heard a single person ever say anything negative or controversial about Dan. It’s always the behavior of the company in question. Likewise I could say it’s not news that Dans cool. Does not solve the meddling from above him.
Seeing Twitch make moves towards no longer being a place to just watch streams, but also to discover more and (hopefully) interact with the community you build is fantastic.
Sure it _feels_ like it might be a little too late for it, but Twitch is still one of the bigger known names when it comes to streaming platforms.
If Dan continues pushing for these improvements, he will be the reason Twitch continues to thrive.
My hope is they continue to build out features like Stories to allow engagement on the platform itself in some way, even if it's similar to RUclips's community posts. Just a way for creators to interact with their community directly on the platform where their content is consumed would be a huge benefit.
I think if Twitch can continue on this trajectory, toward discoverability and adding features we've been asking for for years, they could make a serious "come-back" in the platform wars
Come back implies they fell behind in some way shape or form. They have maintained their position as the top live-streaming platform the past 10 years. No other platform have even came close.
@@xSNACKERx okay maybe it sounded like they fell from 1st place in market share, but they absolutely had lost the game of growth. Ground has been actively being lost by Twitch, but this could help stop the bleeding
I love the idea of twitch automatically making a vertical clip at the same time and this works for any game that has a set point of focus. The issue that some of us would run into is when the horizontal plane is spread out too much and the entertaining portions of the clip cannot be in the same screen. I think the idea for a majority of clips is perfect. I would also like to see the ability to further breakdown the clips to take in the wider shot as well. I am not sure how this could be accomplished outside of shrinking the whole screen to fit or possibly having a strange split screen that makes to content disconnected.
Met Dan at the Toronto Meetup a few months ago and while the meeting was brief, I was optimistic after we chatted.
Also, as an avid gamer who's favourite thing to do is touch grass, I can tell you those things and caring about Twitch are not mutually exclusive 😂
I agree with everything said in this video. I have tried multiple streaming platforms but always come back to Twitch. It’s home. Excited to see if they can turn it around!
Lots of good updates and a nice breakdown, thanks!
The main problem i see with a second stream of the vertical to Twitch is the fact that Twitch would have to encode that, too. Something they seem to already struggling with considering affiliates and below don’t always have encoding available. So having streamers essentially take up twice the data, two feeds that separately needs encoding of 6000kbps, on top of the internet-requirement on the streaming end, makes it not so likely.
I more so think your other idea of editing vertical clips (mentioned in another video) is more likely to happen
One thing I miss so much streaming on RUclips is Twitch's highlight editor. It's so much more stream lined than RUclips's, and hearing it's getting functionality updates makes me miss my friend.
Hopefully with more discoverability, stories, and a new feed they can sprinkle some ads there and take a bit of the burden off of live streamers.
Twitch literally had the "discovery feed" a long time ago. Way back around 2016/2017, they had the "Pulse Feed" and it was EXACTLY WHAT THE DISCOVERY FEED IS!
I was so confused why they shut it down. It was SO GOOD.
As a very, very new streamer I WANT to stream on twitch as the platform feels great and easy to use compared to the competition. I'm not here to make a career out of it, I'm here to showcase and build my skillset as an aspiring content creator as I need an outlet for my creativity. So what Harris pinpoints does indeed make me optimistic for the future which in real terms, keeps my focus on twitch and not split between the others. Again thank you Harris.
I honestly Very agree with this take!! its truly incredible to see twitch step forward after its been long regarding the things you and so many people have been asking for and at least this man has been genially trying improving twitch possible despite some of the Poor decessions taken in the past. these new improvements are super awesome and hopefully id say with this rate hopefully twitch will improve even more in the future that it will continue to grow in a stable way.
I cannot wait to upload to twitchtok
I also haven’t streamed on twitch in like 2 years, why shouldn’t I just stream on kick or RUclips instead?🤔
We also need to be able to edit the clips the same way we do on tik tok or yt shorts, often the raw clips from a twitch Stream are boring or takes too long to get to the funny portion. Being able to edit would help us grab more ppls attention as they scroll
Senpai Gaming just got interesting again ;)
For real though, this is the first vid on the channel I've watched in a while now that I'm finally taking the leap to full time streaming/content creation, and I get the feeling I'll be back more often now too. Refreshing to hear some things to be optimistic about!!
I think it would be a great addition if you could stream regularly and simultaneously clip in vertical format, it'll give you a lot more freedom to spread your content. But I'm even more curious about (con)joined streams, we had a similar system only for partners and it was a reason why I stopped streaming, because I wanted to aim for more of a talkshow setup. If we were able to have more multi-streaming capabilities I think I'd might get back on the horse
Every change can be good and bad , but atleast you can see the efford , maybe to late but we will see^^ I really hope that little streamers would get more discovered in future coz there are beautiful people on platform that no one knows about
YES!!! The second streaming key for vertical content makes SO MUCH SENSE!!! I already make clips with it but I just hoard them on my PC after making them because I forget to post them!
the CEO sounds like he knows what he’s doing. Watched some of his streams and have had friends meet him at twitch con and only positive vibes from this dude. It seems like he really cares and wants to get to know people and help them. From a company as huge as twitch, this is a really great look! He seems more like a leader than a boss. I’m excited for the future of twitch!
You ever gonna try Kick?
Yes
I have been wondering about one thing. Is there really something stopping us from downloading our clips, then editing them the way we want with a nice transistions, subtitles etc. And then streaming them on their own during a part of your stream so you can clip them later and have a good and edited clips in clip discovery instead of just plain clip?
Like, most people won't bother cuz it's a lot of work but it provides you with good quality clips that do stand out so I feel like if there is nothing stopping us then it will be a good thing to do
I hope this somewhat positive fight to make the platform better continues. As a person who is barely getting into content creation, I feel Twitch has a better chance of connecting me to my audience in terms of live streaming. And I really hope the new discovery feature is going to be easy to use to get more people to join my streams
This situation definatly screams, competition creates innovation. Before Kick, Twitch really didnt have a rival. Sure there was RUclips and Facebook gaming but they were never really rivals. (Facebook Gaming is currently on its death bed right now) But now they have a rival and they've jump started all these changes when the website pretty much didnt change anything for years. Its beautiful to see. Sad that it had to come to that point to see change though.
No matter how great the changes seem, at the end of the day, it's going to come down to a lot of excited people streaming with only goal in mind. To achieve success on the platform. It will still come down to one very important factor: that little number that shows how many people are currently viewing a stream. New and potentially new viewers see a low number and that affect whether or not they will stop and view. So as per the usual, large mega-streamers will continue to consume everything like giant black holes tearing up the Twitch-o-sphere, because Twitch will still pushout the heavily engaged high-viewer count streams over the small ones.
I use RUclips shorts for a lot of the videos I post of my gameplay, but the only reason I do that is because the shorts get more views than the full video. The problem is that even including the link to the full video in the description people will only watch the short and NOT the full video. That’s where I think the whole RUclips shorts and Facebook REELS ideas ultimately fall short of actually making your channels grow.
Additionally, I don’t like the vertical content. It can crop out a lot of important contextual information that helps people know what’s actually what’s going on in the video.
A good friend of mine who streams art had a booth selling merch and Dan was walking Artist Alley he spoke with them and plans to commission emotes from them. He seems to be a genuine guy and is trying, more than previous leadership at least.
no extra editing from us but does it take extra processing and cost for twitch to encode a separate feed aside ours, with the very few that will jump on board with this ( the cost would not equal reasons to worry on their end )
could be solid 🎉
Streaming on Twitch is really becoming an enjoyable experience again. I had all but given up on Twitch a year ago, but ever since Dan took over, I've found myself really enjoying a lot of new things Twitch is doing. Hopefully they keep going in this direction.
I love the idea you had about vertical clips. Would be a tremendous win! Love your content, friend. Appreciate you!
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME! I just started streaming and taking it super serious 2 months ago. I’ve been struggling to keep up with doing all the little things we need to do to get a following. Especially because I have my main job, my wife and family and then streaming. So trying to find time to make clips or content outside of twitch is hard and by the time I get around to it I’m already exhausted. I hope these changes are implemented well because if they are it’ll help small streamers a lot!
I truly think that Twitch is still on the top of the streaming platform. Nothing really comes close to what they do and how it is done.
YT Live kind of sucks. The discoverability is so bad with it, 3rd party sites were created just for discovering new live content. The chat for YT Live is a mess, imo. I love how Twitch lets me customize my username color. This helps me so much with keeping track of where I am in reading chat. YT Live, everyone of each ranking is the same color. Resulting in me easily being lost in chat. YT Live also has 2 different chat options, "Top Chat" and "Live Chat", which I forget which one is which, but 1 shows all of chat and the other hides some messages for some reason. Some streamers on YT Live do not know about this and end up missing a good chunk of messages. YT Live ads, imo, are worse than the ads on Twitch. I've seen an ad pop-up on YT Live that just completely breaks the stream, forcing me to reload the page. Never happens for me on Twitch. YT Live ads do allow me to "skip ad" sometimes, but this hurts the content creator. Why openly give an option to hurt a content creator? It seems so wrong. Speaking of ads, when an ad plays on YT Live, a big ad banner appears above chat, pushing chat down on the page. Very annoying.
And then we have Kick... the cesspool of garbage that was banned from the other platforms and is a copy and paste of Twitch, but with no rules. Possibly the bottom of the live streaming platforms.
Got to meet Dan at TwitchCon San Diego and he was such a cool down to earth guy and we exchanged stories about being parents and even gave me some fun pointers on how to do bed time stories with my kid.
It’s great to see some good changes actually happening at Twitch. The communities that live on Twitch are amazing. I want it to keep getting better from here
Thank you once again Harris! As always, coming in hot with the updates, your verdicts and awesome ideas!
Too late? Maybe. Too little? Absolutely not! Now a community page and it's everything I've been asking for
Idk why but I belly laughed at "I'm a little skeptical... The mans favorite thing to do is touch grass" 😂
I agree I’m slowly becoming a DjClancy fan. Such a genuine guy on stream, he has a lot to learn but also he “is” willing to. He even asks questions himself! ❤
One of my issues with Twitch is you are kinda grinding the equivalent of a dead end job. If you some how manage to break through and reach partner it doesn't have any real value other than bragging.
The ad experience is also still very terrible and painful to deal with. A lot of the problems with viewers is that they are just comfortable with going to Twitch.
I've recently started grinding RUclips and used to do 1 hour streams on Twitch before switching over and having to wait when you get the "got an ad" message gets really annoying because you know it is hurting your channel and effecting your flow on stream. You can't afford to get into the swing of things because you don't want viewers to miss out on the action.
With RUclips you can pretty much just get on with it.
I suppose in the end at least Twitch is making changes.
Personally I'll be sticking it out on RUclips since I like how personal you can get with scheduling live streams and honestly I just don't have that much faith in Twitch anymore. If Amazon is getting annoyed at Twitch's performance I won't put it past them of shutting down the service. RUclips is at least a hell of a lot more stable.
I halfway expected to scroll down and see an argumentative comment from Shear about being checked out, but if I had his money I sure wouldn't be Googling myself.
Twitch got complacent during Covid not realizing that the norm of 2020-2022 was not going to be a forever thing. Kick coming out was a light under their butt they needed to start doing new things. Now if this will save them is yet to be seen but who knows... it's still too early to tell.
I think the easy win for people is to be able to upload the vertical videos for the discovery tab. Granted I know I’m a dinosaur, but I still edit my clips and then make vertical versions for tiktok and RUclips shorts. It’d be super easy to just upload them to twitch discovery too.
Hollywood Hogan just asked for his magic marker back.
I always look forward to these kinds of videos, super helpful and just nice to watch! Thanks Harris! :)
6:30 This actually is a great idea! Pretty much using a histogram as an indicator for most clipped sections of the stream.
Jeff Bazos only needs us humans to finance his forever body
First time learning about the new CEO, guy seems awesome and it seems like a genuine fresh happy face and not just some jaded tech ceo
Seems like he can bring it back, and im rooting for him!
I absolutely love your ideas man! You have helped me out a lot with my streaming stuff and the vertical is God Sent lol! if they could use it for the discoveries it would put twitch on another level i hope! thanks a lot man, you are awesome!
The second stream key is indeed very interesting for it would make it FAR easier. Problem with it is:
1. Is the streamer's internet good enough?
2. The programmation for it would actualy be hell to do for it has to stay hidden as a backup for the stream itself (which sadly enough would actually make the stream VoD heavier to view), would need a check to switch between 16:9 to 9:16 and it would be the same thing for the clips in themselves, making them also heavier to watch but also and most importantly, to make.
As much as the idea is great, this WILL increase the server usage at an incredible level in which might resolved into:
1. More stability problem overall on Twitch.
2. A shorter time before deletion of old VoD. For now, none affiliates are at 30 days before the VoDs get deleted, affiliates are at 6 months (i think. Imma fact check after finishing this comment) and a year for partners.
Just from the perspective of non affiliates and affiliates making most of Twitch's streamer community, the amount of VoD kept wouldn't be THAT bad, but the amount of clips made (which are still permanent if i remember right) will saturate the servers since if it's not the viewers who do the clips, it'S the streamer that does them themselves (Otherwise, they're shooting themselves in the feet for not diversifying their content and increase their internet presence).
But still, that would be really amazing to have all the streamer tools within twitch and adding the second stream key, despite all the throwback, would be an amazing step towards that.
The clip graph you mentioned exists now on the highlights section of your vods when you are in “video producer”
I LOVE the idea of that extra vertical key. That’s a genius idea!
I’ve been using aitum and you have so many good ideas. Very inspirational and I strongly agree with the vertical live streaming. Tiktok Live studio is starting to become the META for streamers to grow off of tiktok algorithm. Love your vids keep up the good work❤
An alternative that would require far less computing power on twitch's end would be to use that graph you mentioned, with some twitch integration into your vertical video plugin, which could be used for recording rather than a second stream to twitch. Use the graph idea to add easily navigated timestamps in some form to the vertical recording, and simply upload to twitch from there.
It's better late than never right?
I've been alternatiing the platforms I stream on daily. Twitch one day, Kick/RUclips the next day, then repeat. I want to give all these platforms a fair amaount of time before I say X platform is the best.
It's good to diversify anyways.
This is good stuff. Thanks for sharing, Harris!
Also, thank you for *StreamBeats!* I love the hip hop playlist and I don't have to worry about claims or strikes.
Thank you.
Have you signed up for the giveaway and started getting free highlights, yet? ► bit.ly/SenpaiSizzlegg
I'm super curious to see where Twitch is headed! I agree that it's starting to look good and there have been a LOT of changes recently. I'm also skeptical, but we'll see what happens!
I was there and Dan is cool, walking between people and even have time to talk with some people there. Respect. I was even on photo with him, that is already special for me.
Hope Twitch will stay positive for most people. I still don't trust Kick platform (has big gambling part) and i don't think Kick has everything for ex-Twitch streamer.
The high cut 95/5(?) is still a question for long term, because Kick needs money too to grow.
Man that vertical clips idea would be PERFECT
honestly love "the vertical in the background" idea, i would also love it if the stream gets send to twitch in all the seperate elements (cam/mic/game/...) and then a total coding gets send out to the viewers (so twitch kinda becomes like OBS) but this is probably impossible
actually this would be possible with the 2nd streamkey, use your PC/IPAD/... to play a game, send that to twitch and use your phone as a cam/mic on the 2nd streamkey then you can move it around as you see fit for clips/stream or remove them entirely for YT content if you want and your brb/starting soon/alerts could be on twitch servers, Harris you're a genius
Dan will be immortalized if he can turn twitch around. I dont see his streams or follow him(I probably should) But it seems his heart and professional side is in the right place. But by seeing a few clips and him speaking he seems like a genuine guy.
touching grass and hugging a tree may ground you in ways you never thought of Harris...sending love and peace to everyone...
Thank you for telling me about sizzle. I never get people making clips for my streams so I have to always go into my stream myself and clip. This helps alot!
i love u harris *screams it louder than anyone else in this lobby
Woah 👀
Glad to see Twitch trying and that Clancy is possibly trying to make things better.
If Kick ends up being the 4ewl deal though idk how they can compete with them especially if they follow through on their hourly wages.
Yeah, RUclips gets me more engagement, Rumble give me more money, and Kick is just better than Twitch overall. If Twitch fires all the ret@rds they employ than I'll stream there again.
6:30 "sifting thru a list of clips your viewers created" - most of us should BE so lucky. most clipped moments is aspirational for the majority of streamers.
The idea of the second stream key and clipping is incredible
I feel like hope is coming back regarding the platform, al though I've never left but I'm glad there are huge changes for the better. Even if I'm still skeptical as well, only time will tell how things turns out and if they are as good as they are painting them to be. Got to say I like your idea about simplifying the clip uploading process for the discovery feed. That would make things less heavier on everyone's back after ending streams.
I wonder if for the discovery feed they could limit the clips you see to streamers who are LIVE when you've opened the feed? If they're keen to get people off the feed quickly, they could show you the clip and say "oh hey they're live now, go check them out".
The discovery feed being strictly vertical would be a miss relative to what this could be. Just make it the mobile version of the discovery feed functional in both vertical and horizontal so we can get both full screen clips and vertically trimmed clips. On PC, this wouldn't be difficult at all, but mobile would just need to do what TikTok doesn't. Turn the phone horizontally and still allow me to swipe up from that position.
Talked to Dan for a short moment on TC Paris and I must say, i have hope in him. He streams himself, he is listening to streamers. Like, I know, he talked to music streamers, about their problems with DMCA and stuff like this at TC Paris....BUT and it is a big BUT...Amazon have to let him do his thing and honestly, i am not so sure about that. So, as much as I like that there are changes and as much as I am thinking positive about the new CEO...Amazon has to give him room. We will see what will happen...Also, it was nice meeting you on TC.
As much as I'm still not leaping into streaming or content creation, I still enjoy watching your updates and insights. Thank ls for the update😊
I honestly don't think a second stream key for vertical clips will be implemented because that will take even more precious server resources and given how insanely much streaming costs Twitch already, the executives likely will dismiss this idea on the spot
Cheers for the heads up Harris! 🎉
My view on twitch has gone majorly downhill recently which is sad because I love the platform. It's super nice to see some positive changes.
love the ideas, you always have good ideas. AND as i was watching this, I was saying to myself, Harris def said this like 5 years ago and sure enough you did. Funny, but also makes me wonder why you haven't created a "twitch" yet.
babies do scream often of planes because their hearing is hyper sensitive so the plane engine and the pressue in the cabbin all have an impact on the baby, poor lil thing
As someone who started out their content creation/streamer journey here on Harris's channel 3 years ago, it was beyond my dreams to have met him whilst in Paris. He didn't only speak to me as my content creator alias but spoke to me as the man behind it, I'll never forget the conversation and the passion he spoke with about the future and he's driven my motivations and ambitions sky high since. He Deserves endless support and here's to much more success, Thank you @SenpaiGaming😊
This is awesome to see Twitch finally taking steps forward for a change, but this still brings up the issue of ANY streamer, affiliate or not, can't multistream, which is a big hit for smaller streamers
Okay this may sound like me being Negative at least for me its not me being negative I know Twitch has been through Hell, The Ringer whatever you want to call it and to be honest I used to be a twitch streamer I have stopped doing twitch a little over 2-3 Years now so I did not like Twitch about 2-3 Years ago however the Recent Changes that You Harris has told us made me really consider being a Twitch streamer again its gonna take a Lot of work and It's gonna be hell for me to grow my audience back up to how it was before But I can honestly say that I cannot wait for what Twitch has in store for us I don't want to be completely happy cause It may change for the worse hopefully not But I will give twitch another chance Thanks for the Update Harris and I appreciate you helping & Updating us on the Latest Streaming News and also Thanks for being an Inspiration to us all 😁👍😊
Thank you for the breakdown, here's hoping they add some features to make things easier for streamers!
