What other questions do you have about streaming on RUclips? Drop them here or hit me up during my next live stream >> RUclips.com/harrisheller
When it comes to RUclips, is it better to have your RUclips content and streams in one channel or better to split your videos in one channel and livestreams in another?
I actually have a suggestion/question, what would be the chances that youtube buys out twitch, that way the youtube platform isn’t as cluttered as it is currently with the shorts
Can you edit the livestream on RUclips, create a new video without changing the livestream? Basically want to create a new video from the livestream without destroying the livestream.
Can you do a video on how to monetize on RUclips? Such as creating shorts, videos, lives, etc.. all of the details that the average person wouldn't know
Should I start live streaming first? Or should I start making youtube videos first? It seems like it makes sense to make youtube videos first since it's easier to discover.
RUclips had said shorts do not go toward your watch hours. Thanks for clearing that up! I haven't wanted to do them on my new channel for that very reason. Guess I will now! :D
Just like he said, they don't count if the short is viewed through the shorts viewer 👍
It's a bummer though when you have a short get 100k views and you're only at 2k hours towards monetization overall 😂
@@BrknLaw well it's fair because shorts funded differently
@@fattahrambe oh yeah I totally get that. Just wish I'd get a fraction of that watch time but it's all good! That's why you have to diversify your content on YT 😁👍
@@BrknLaw what app did you use to edit the thumbnails and the vid too?
The 130k view edit
@@adityakrishnamalhotra1 I just use default thumbnails from RUclips for all my shorts actually. But I edit all my videos in Davinci Resolve which is free 😁👍
Last time I was this early, Harris was still on Twitch.
So you're telling me it's been a while?😏😂👍
Starting to love stream on RUclips ASAP! This video helped so much, thanks man!
The "making them unlisted" tip was a freaking game changer on my channels cleanliness. You saved me making a separate channel for livestreams, so thank you!🤘(Also really appreciate the constant flow of free music 👌)
Tip, keep enable auto stop off, especially if you have bad WiFi like me 😭. This way, if your WiFi fails or obs crashes, your stream won’t immediately end, you can fix the problem and get back to your stream 😊
Or you mean the other way around, to switch it on? It's confusing 😶
Awesome 👌
A caveat on the "reuse settings" feature - if you want to change the thumbnail *sometimes* it bugs out and doesn't show to viewers waiting, even though the thumbnail shows everywhere else. The only way to then fix it is kill the scheduled stream and recreate it from scratch.
ALSO, if you make a mistake in your title after scheduling you can go back and fix it a million times, but it will still show the title as-created when you link the stream externally like on Facebook.
I have learned these things the hard way and just plain gave up on "reuse settings" for a while. It was working a little better at the end of our last season. I'll find out tonight if it's still working as advertised or borked again 😄
BLESS YOU. I have been trying to find everything I can on streaming on RUclips. A lot of what I have found hasn’t been updated or as straight-forward. I planned to move over in January after posting regularly starting this month so my RUclips channel was able to (hopefully) grow this last half of the year and hit those monetization goals, but with all the nonsense of Twitch, I am trying to shift by the beginning of October. Thank you! 🖤✨
Seriously helpful. I’ve had some issues with creating high quality live streams and ended up spending 11 hours yesterday solving all of them. This channel has been invaluable
This is the first video I've seen on this channel and I gotta say the introduction showed way more insecurity than there needed to be. Your setup is great! From one perfectionist to another; stahp. Thanks for the great info!
I appreciate all the Knowledge. I’m just starting to get into streaming on RUclips and using it as a creator. Definitely gained a lot of information!!!! Good looking out !
This is awesome. Been thinking about the conversion for a couple months now. Its time to put in the work and finish up the switch. Thank you.
As always, super helpful. Thanks, Harris! Congrats on the newborn!
Awesome video Harris! I Came over with my small stream after being on Twitch nearing 4 years and its fantastic here, I had a few things in place you mentioned but super keen to enable the rest of your suggestions. A side reason I wanted to come over was I only stream 2- times a week and wanted the videos to stay up to find later for myself, grab some clips etc having 3 kids/family full time job it doesn't feel like I'm required to put in stupid hours to progress on the platform when it's just for fun.
If you were to make an update, I think you should include three additional points: RUclips redirects, the ability to edit livestreams after they’ve ended, and the ability to “premier” content as that’s just one more way you can receive audience exposure.
Thank You for making this!!
I am about to run my first Test Stream on RUclips on 16th of September after streaming on Twitch as an affiliate for over a year.
Much love and again thank you Harris, as you had always been the one spot to go to for information.
So convenient timing, I am still watching this (temporary paused) and will be finishing!
How did it go?
Awesome video!!! Very good information to dig in!!
I think you threw the YT sales pitch really good, and the ability to get your channel discoverable through shorts and stuff is really cool.
I am no longer afraid of streaming on YT. Will definitely try it out one of these days, thanks!!
I came across your videos while searching for help with ……. EVERYTHING related to streaming. 😩 Did not realize the layers and work that goes into it. With that said, thank you for your helpful videos and I’m truly inspired by many like yourself with successful channels to have my own one day. In the meantime I research and try to become better and learn the many many skills you must have to do this at a successful rate. Mad respect sir!
I decided to start streaming on RUclips last night, (due to your advice) and I may go live for the first time at some time today! Thanks for the video!
Another home run! I learned about so many details. Thanks for covering this!
Perfect timing on the release of this video. Thanks Harris and the team!
Seriously, when i think on how much i learnt from you in those years and how much your music help me to make my videos, it blows my mind! Thanks so much!
YARA Hausa TV
Thanks for all the info. As usual, your videos are very helpful.
I'm planning to start streaming games as a hobby and possible as a career in the future and based on this video of yours, I'm really gearing toward RUclips.
Much needed thanks for the info! Also thank you so much for stream beats! Just started editing videos and having these is so helpful!
I love this guy right away, I’m new to your vids and man I appreciate the effort in your visuals. Props to whomever doing this!
I started my channel the beginning of this year. I always wanted to be a youtuber, but i watched your projections a long time ago about how you believed YT could compete easily if they put effort in Live and how 2021 was going to be a big change for YT Live. I started it and love that people are changing over, hopefully the more eyes can trickle down to us little guys!
I’m your first subscriber. You should something 😄
you have no idea how useful this video is.. I've thought about streaming here, but i didnt knew anything about.. your best video so far.. thanks!
Sammme! I just started streaming and figuring it out since I couldn’t find a good informative video
This was so helpful!!! We’re so excited to improve our channel using the things you mentioned, thank you for all your videos they’ve been such a blessing!
I switched over last week and I'm really enjoying it. It's a fresh start and overall I like the RUclips experience better. This video helped clear up a few things I had questions about too. Thank you!
Hey Harris great vid, but one thing I would point out. Keep the ads ON, just remove the option of the ones that you can't skip. Ads on Twitch suck, they are not directed to people, they have 30 seconds and you can't skip. Ads on RUclips people are used to it and they provide a great revenue overall. Specially if you are an English speaker
That's a good point
THIS. People are used to ads, so take the money, just don’t use the non-skippables, they’re a pita
Harris, I would be very interested to hear about your opinion on how TimTheTatman is approaching live streaming on RUclips since he has decided to keep his live streams on a dedicated channel. Are there cases where you think someone should go live on a dedicated streaming channel? Or should traditional videos also be released on a channel that live streams?
Valkyrae, which was mentioned on the vod, also separated all her types of content on one channel each.
Saved this for when I have time today to watch and really soak in the details. Thanks for the vid mate!
just wanted to say thanks Harris. Your streambeats is so awesome!
Really appreciate the info here, thank you!! I've been going through trial and error learning this new system of streaming, but getting a refresher + some supportive tips really helps!
Two things that really helped me for sure:
- I didn't know you can have the livestream unlist immediately after it ends, I've been doing it manually
- I didn't know when you add a video to a playlist, you can set it so that the newest video goes to the top. I've been dragging it from the bottom lol
How did you do it manually i forgot to switch it to unlist them
Useful tips as always, thank you!
Dude, thank you. I've been waiting for you to make this video. I've been trying to get my head around all of this stuff using a bunch of other videos. Nice to have it in one place from a channel I find easy to assimilate.
I’m moving back to YT where I began my journey once I return back to the grind. Love that you posted this video Harris thank you
Regarding ads on livestreams: I'd recommend not putting them on there. When you're still building your channel, you might be best served by treating livestreams as what business people call "loss leaders"- you're not going to make mad moolah off of them, but you're going to attract viewers, who will then go on to watch your videos. Livestreams are where you can give potential subscribers the best, most personal interactions with you, and ads can only really get in the way of that.
Good idea
FACTS
Funny Irony that RUclips would recommended this video on the day Twitch lets partners like me stream on other platforms. This video is a Master Class in getting started. I took extensive notes & hope to try this out soon! Thank you! ❤️🤙
Your channel is so clutch! Just the video I needed!
Just made the switch so this video is super helpful and perfectly timed. You’re a legend Harris
Harris love the content and have been a follower for some time. I do want to point out though when someone unlists their video and they are trying to hit the 4k watch hours, unlisted/private/etc videos that are not public are removed from that count. Something to consider for anyone looking to unlock the goal.
7:30 I remember those days of 2020 that I was streaming in my other channel. I taught myself about the live-streaming studio and platform to control it.
Also, don't comment on your own video praising yourself and then pin it. At least create an alt account for that.
I appreciate this man and all your vids. They help so much even now, just noticed something crazy haha. this video was like EXACTLY a year ago, saw that when you were talking about the live notifications. Pretty dope bro
l just looked again and its actually 2 yrs ago bruh my B
Thanks for sharing! Your setup videos and product reviews have helped me make my channel on YT what it is today!
Okay... but what camera do you use though? Asking for a friend 👀
He has a video of his setup tour, he goes over what he has in that video
You are a beast for this, I’ve been considering doing some streaming and I’d rather do RUclips simply for the fact that I’d wanna have everything on one platform. I’ve done a few livestreams but was always confused by so much whenever trying to figure it all out compared to Twitch. I’ll def be using this guide to help me get everything situated!
Both you and Devin Nash are my go-to sources of Truth for live streaming and growing my business around content creation. Thank you so much for what you do.
This was so useful Harris, thank you. I’ve been dabbling in twitch but will definitely try live streaming here as well.
Jayztwocents just recently put his weekly stream show on hiatus due to decreased viewership after every livestream. It still looks like the RUclips algorithm has a problem with streams on a channel that is primarily videos. I suspect you were worried about that too and that's why you don't stream on Alpha Gaming, despite the advice in this video. Either way, great video. I didn't know about the auto start and auto stop features, that threw me off last time I streamed on youtube. Streamed on YT for years and they changed all that once I switched to Twitch in fear that algorithm was punishing my channel growth because of the aforementioned reasons. Though it turns out the algorithm is punishing my channel regardless and I don't know why.
I seen two other fairly large tech youtubers are getting horrible views lately too. It could just be a tech youtube problem. Especially since you litterally can't find anything they talk about typically. I've personally stopped watching 90% of tech videos myself unless it's the stream setups and whatnot because those are cool.
I haven't watched all of Jayztwocents rtfm weekly streams but I have watched most of them , and another factor to the decreased viewership after every livestream is that these livestreams are not heavily focused on tech like the what his channel is about
This happens to me as well. Every time I stream, my videos drop drastically in Suggested traffic. Takes about two weeks to recover. I’ve tested this multiple times. Live streaming 100% punishes your VODs.
Super helpful info, especially for RUclipsrs looking to get into live content! Sub'd!
Thanks for the tips and advice. It helps a lot when I do live stream.
Very helpful! Thank you for making this and keeping it straightforward and basic!
My one question is if you are posting Videos/Shorts and Livestreaming all on one channel, should you only post one of the 3 options a day? Or could you post a video in the morning and go live in the afternoon. Not sure if RUclips works best with same day posts or you should keep everything on different days of the week.
I'd suggest experimenting and monitoring your analytics to see what works best. I imagine that, for this specific question, it's not a "one answer fits all" type of deal.
I would say that it also highly depends on how much you can output as good content. If you post all your stuff the same day and nothing the rest of the week, it’s not s good trade. Content dip is a real thing, at some points it is harder to build good content on a subject you already did 100 vids on. Space it out so that fresh content is posted regularly, you will do more mileage on the content you chose. It is better to have a schedule you can keep up with weeks after weeks than going hard one day and be burned out the next 3.
This is my own personal experience as a viewer and not a streamer (working on that) but it seems content is king. The more the better. I would guess based off other channels that posting once per day is better than posting 3 times in one day once every 4 days (if that makes sense) but ultimately in the long run as long as you have content being posted on a semi regular basis it shouldn't punish you.
I would ultimately say post as soon as you have good content to post. Don't rush a video or short just to get it out. As you get better and better at your craft the frequency in which you post will likely increase. Now there are some channels that post every day or on certain days but I wouldn't aim for that. I would aim for making good content and post it when it's ready.
@@SudoYETI Quality over quantity has shown time and time again to be the better option in most cases. The better the content, the more people will tune in to watch it and want more of it instead of posting something EVERYDAY without too much thought about it probably won't get you far I would of thought. On the other hand, I think it depends on the creator and the type of content they publish to their fans, you know? I personally like Joe Rogan's Experience podcasts and I tune in to everything he uploads because I know it's going to be good content, if I started watching a relatively new channel that uploads random stuff it just wouldn't interest me and I would move on, hopefully that makes sense?
There's a Total War channel I watch called "Turin" and he will stream and post a video on the same day, but has stated that posting two videos doesn't work very well. Ymmv
A simple question, even tho I have watched your videos for a while. Do you think its better to start streaming first on twitch reather than on youtube? Thanks. :)
You can’t guarantee your community will come over to RUclips with you
If you haven’t started yet I would just pick a platform and stick with it
I'm a relatively new streamer and I must say although twitch's community is great because everyone wants to help out the small streamers since they can relate, twitch may not be the better option. He's already given you a lot of reasons why youtube would be a good choice and I absolutely agree with him. I think building a following on a platform that will be more beneficial in the long run is the better move. I'm moving simply because they cannot fix a simple viewer glitch and I feel like it is slightly affecting my growth. I average at least 20-50 viewers a day when I do it correctly but my viewer count rarely goes above 3 or 4. I need a platform that is going to care and have proper support for their members. I will miss the small things like emotes etc because I've spent money and effort on them and it gives my viewers a better sense of belonging but I know for a fact that more of my viewers and audience right now have youtube, some of them don't have twitch or have admitted it is hard to understand so I think for me at least youtube will be a better move. Harris makes a lot of sense. If you want to eventually be able to turn people who arent even really into gaming or watching streams into a fan, I say use youtube. You have way more choice of content, possible discoverability, etc.
RUclips
RUclips, you never stop or start
@@gangstalker The thing about YT is, how do you earn $ via livestreams only if Ads are very obnoxious. Also, monetization requires you to have a few more things
I’m glad you put this out today because I’m streaming on RUclips for the first time today
Your camera behavior skills are incredible. so much talent dude. goat'd
not going to lie this is some very useful info everyone should know!
How do you have 140k subs without any videos?
@@Noolnavellem If I had to guess they probably bought fake subs, sorta like you can do on Twitch with fake followers that are bots. I live stream on Twitch quite regularly and the amount of bots I see that come in to my chat or that follow me is getting ridiculous now.
@@Noolnavellem what kinda crack you on? they have videos of Fortnite all the way from 2 years ago
Can’t wait for RUclips to become a bigger streaming platform then twitch!
You think it will ?
@@ShowtimeRy yeah definitely
@@HockGaming why tho ??
We need Raiding on RUclips!💥
@VnD_iRevO_YT Done
Great video! I can't wait to get started!
Finally a video dedicated to us youtube streamers 🤩🙏🏽
We have been heard!!!!!😁👍
@@BrknLaw indeed! Good luck in your journey 💙
I'm so sick of twitch. RUclips isnt even considered a "serious" streaming platform by many but they already have so many more options. I currently restream at the moment and because im making quality vids on my channels thats only about 1 year old, im seeing more and more people pop in via youtube. It makes sense since the community im building on YT through my vids will watch me on the same site.
Once i hit 1k, i think i'll just stop using twitch. its just becoming more and more frustrating to use
Thank you for such an informative video, tried RUclips streaming once but got so confused with how to set it up compared to Twitch.
Best of luck to you and everyone here lookin to stream
Extremely helpful video!
Already did lives on RUclips many times and didn't knew about a lot of those features.
Every time I stream on youtube, my views plummet and take about two weeks to recover. Every single time. Streaming hurts your channel, be careful with it
Thx good to know
Could it be that you're just worse at streaming than you are at making your bread&butter videos?
The delay seems a little longer while streaming on RUclips vs Twitch. For me though, the quality seems better and easier to stream on YT with worse internet.
for me the quality is worse somehow, literally my stream settings are identical except on RUclips I raised the bitrate to 10k but somehow my streams quality on YT is more pixelated than Twitch
very very helpful - especially the request-to-live BEFORE you stream!
This was exactly the video I needed, so much. Thanks, Harris.
I find the streams help bring numbers in. I also like the fact that with when a video goes live, people will go watch your streams.
Simply put: I really enjoy RUclips for streaming :)
I actually prefer it as a viewer. I don’t get 8 ads for clicking in to a stream AND I can toggle back and watch from the beginning while they’re live or if I miss something
@@cojodotgg that’s awesome!!!
Sorry to double comment; I just thought of something.
To have a generic thumbnail (that is all nice and pretty) for the go live… and then to adjust and change it after stream (tags and all) to garner it views when it goes eventually process… hmmmmm
You got the wheels turning.
@@WarchiefPeebs live vids are only discoverable when they are being streamed so it’s almost a waste of time to put more effort into it retroactively. I schedule them and plug in tags and do the meta before I start stream, doesn’t take long. Once the stream ends, vods don’t get recommended or show up easily in search. Big streamers unlist them too usually so it’s not something causal RUclips viewers would want to watch
@@cojodotgg I get that, I do.
The only thing that keeps me from doing so is that these streams generate double their original viewership in the following days/week. It could be from traffic TO the channel, so something to look at analytically. But they do generate a future viewership (some very well)
I've been having so many thoughts about moving to YT from Twitch, but what scares me is the Affiliate contract and the loss of followers. I've been wanting to make more videos for RUclips to at least get more subs before moving. Long story short I am on the fence and already leaning on moving to RUclips. Thank you Harris for these amazing videos, I appreciate the help you're giving us 💚
Dude, I’ve been where you are (were?) two months now. I’m just gonna do it.
I do hope you made the move and are finding joy and success!!
@@MaynesWorld Yeah I'm still on twitch and I'm already trying to set up a debut for YT, after the income leak, I'd rather have everything in one platform and focus on less... Hope you're doing well over there! (See you in the big leagues!)
I’m making the jump on Monday! I’m excited! I wish you well on your move!!
Good breakdown im definitely taking notes
I love your advice man! It genuinely helps, its easy to digest, and honestly emulating it works immediately even with a small channel like mine!
ive never been this early to a video ever!
First time??
X2
@@POHreeg yeah lol
Just saying, highly recommend NOT to unlist your streams, since streams will keep generating views, and watch time. Many big RUclips streamers get milions if views from their Stream VOD, so highly recommend to keep them on your channel published.
Thanks man!! Your info is always on point and so helpful!!
Great stuff dude! Just went live for my first time on RUclips last night. Still new to live streaming for my audience but you had a lot of good tips in here. Thanks a ton.
"You don't really know what the topic of the stream is going to be, until you've finished the stream" - Sounds like a lack of planning! A huge pitfall of most streamers ;)
To be fair to Harris, I believe some streamers do this intentionally as it works better for them and probably prevents burnout to some degree based on a busy schedule consisting of long streams.
man i appreciate you for videos like this
Needed this! Thanks!
Bro thank you so much 🙏🏼
THANK YOU !! i have been trying so hard to figure out why i couldn't go live when i was verified and you literally solved that issue in less than five seconds !!
Thank you for sharing this tips. Really nice to know.
I'm hyped man!
I was thinking of making a hardcore Minecraft series and livestream it on RUclips for a while... This is exactly what I needed to hear!
Always nice when I am looking for a concise streaming guide and Harris shows up as the first option.
I'm switching to RUclips from twitch and I feel like this is gunna give me a good jump start for streaming so I say thank you for helping us out so much!!!!!
Thanks for the info Harris!
I started a TikTok account in July and have always planned to stream on YT! Just hit 15k on Tiktok and planning my first stream next week; this was perfectly timed thank you!
I've been thinking about switching to RUclips and needed info, thank you again for helping!!
Great info! Congratulations 🙏
I’m making the switch after this video. Thanks, been following and listening to you’re advise most of this year. Be blessed and keep doing what you are doing man ❤️
Super helpful, thank you!
I appreciate this video as I've been contemplating making the switch.
thanks man for the help!
This was a great video man. Super motivating and helped me set up a better game plan than I have now
seeing this video late but im trying something new and wanting to start sharing connect. just finished watching your OBS video from like 2020. thx for the great tips man. really came in clutch with this. hopefully soon i can grow more so i can start live stream. but until then i need to learn as much as possible
been watching this dude for a very long time already, and love everything about him
Harris at the key points of my streaming journey you've dropped bombs that have redirected my path - this is one of those key moments. Thank you massively 🤘😋
This was all super helpful! Thanks!
I de-affiliated my Twitch stream after 4 years this last week and I really appreciated the insight on cleaning up the videos tab. I had been making videos for years so it was quite a mess.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this. Been trying for a long time to become and affiliate on Twitch. I have the followers just not the viewers. Hoping this goes better than twitch did.
