Hi how are things? I'm Harry and I create content for content creators. Lately, it has excelled on the ability to stream without has attracted major celebrities in the streaming world and even video, I'm going to explain everything you need to know to stream account, what tools we'll use to stream on alerts when someone is following you or making a monetize it. The first thing we need to do is go to kick.com and create an account. We're going to click here where it says register. We will enter birth, username, and password. After that, we click on register and that would basically be the simplest process. After that, email or username and enter our password. Once something like this. Here we will be able to first one is called channel, where we will be able to customize our channel. Here I see the number of followers I have. I currently have 49 followers. Next, here we can see the creator's control panel. Then finally we have the settings section. I'm going to explain each one to you. channel section where we will be able to see the recent streams that will appear on this side. When we do a stream, made for us and the categories of streams we have made will be saved here automatically. In the " we do during our live streams. A brief summary of what says "edit panels", we will be able to add an image and a link to direct them to our social networks, or also set rules and more details about our live videos, and show the latest live streams we have. And if we want to customize this a little further, we can click this section we can change the avatar, which becomes the logo of our these are the resolutions that are used. Here we can upload any banner we want with this specific resolution and specify which when we are not live. Further down we can edit the social networks we use, which will appear at the top of our profile. In the server and streaming key section, we will be able to find the server that we will use to connect to it through OBS or some other streaming program. and the transmission key. These should not be shared without simply copying and pasting. In security we can change activate the two-factor authentication method. I recommend you activate it for manage content preferences. What type of content do we not want to see this type of content, simply activate this option and that type of content will no longer be shown within your exploration platform. This is more aimed at the viewers. So if you don't want to disable these options and you will no longer receive notifications. In Connections, we can connect platforms like Discord, among other additional ones This is where you can generate additional applications, but we're not we find the other section called the creator control panel. Here we will be able to see all the configuration and customization we need. chat area where people will be able to interact and you will be able to read it from this interact and you will be able to read it from this side. Here on the right side we will be able to edit the stream information, which is basically the category of our live stream. Here we can see the title we can give our live stream, the game category, where we can search for different games that we want. For example, we can put D Souls, for example. available tags and here we see the trends that are in those tags. language. This is very important. When you want to apply the filters, they can appear exactly in this language, which is Spanish. And here, in case you're within the game, for example, if it's an important to activate this option. We have slow mode, which basically means that the text doesn't appear so quickly, but rather appears after every 5 seconds, so that it's not all repeated. What does that mean? For example, a person cannot send a message until after another 5 seconds have passed, and then sends a message and must wait another 5 recommend this for streamers who are just starting out because it's basically very chat for all followers where basically those people who have followed you for a certain amount of time will be able to start chatting. Uh, I don't recommend it either. Same chat for subscribed to your channel. chat only in modes where you don't allow any text, only modes. Age restriction. This is the minimum account age required chatting. So if it's an account that was created on the same day, then it won't be account that was created a month ago, they'll already be able to chat, right? Now it's exactly how you like it. The banned words, well, there's no need to banned words, well, there's no need to explain them, they're right here. And in goal settings, you can set the follower goal, you can set how many followers you would like to have, how many, and even how much time you have to get that number of followers. And then you can just click on start objective and people will start with that left side, we're going to see all the statistics. We'll be able to see session, the number of viewers we have, how many followers we have, the number of subscribers we have, and the time we've been live. In the our payments, but since I haven't yet reached the minimum required amount and I'll explain how income works later, we can't explain it to you right now because we're going to the achievements section. In the achievements section, we'll see what's needed to start monetizing. All you need to monetize is to stream a total of 5 hours. That's all, you broadcast for 5 hours and subscriptions are automatically enabled on your channel. So, all you have to do is stream for 5 hours and you'll be able to start monetizing. You don't need to do them consecutively, they accumulate and once you've you can then access monetization. After that, you can access the verification. And how do you get it? Well, in order to get verified, you need to reach a total of 10 subscribers in the last 30 days. It does not include gift subscriptions. You also need an average of 50 viewers in the last 30 days, to stream a total of 15 hours in the last 30 days, and to have 100 different users chatting in the last 30 days. This does not mean that everyone has to last 30 days different users have arrived, 100 in total, and that they have at least said hello or something. After that comes the partner. start getting paid for the hours you broadcast, you need a total of 25 subscribers in the last 30 days. You also need 75 viewers, like on Twitch, for example, in the last 30 days. Transmit a total of 30 hours in the last 30 days. And 250 users chatting in the last 30 days, just like the last time I mentioned that part, right? And a total of 250 this, all you would have to do is send an email to kickpartners@kick.com from the email address associated with your username and the type of content you stream. Then we have the study section. Here we'll be able to see our bots, basically replays of our live streams. Here we'll see the clips, and here in the channel we'll be able to customize the chat section, the entire moderation section, the banned words section, as well as see the banned users and also add any chat rules we want in the display section. In roles we can assign who will be the channel moderators, VIPs and OGs. The difference with VIPs is that they won't have to wait to create clips; they'll simply be able to create clips quickly. And the channel moderators are the ones who can suspend users, manage spam, enable different chat modes, slow mode or followers, etc., and manage polls or pinned messages. So make sure you put a trustworthy moderator in place. In the community is where you will be able to upload your emotes. You can upload up to 60 emotes within your channel. I've only uploaded a many mods as you want; basically, there are many. We also have subscriber badges, and when you have the option to monetize, you'll be able to upload them here. Here you'll also put your additional options that were recently added and can be redeemed for see all the requests that were made to activate those rewards. You can create rewards right here, where you can enter the and cost. Whether you need the viewer to mention something, you activate it. And close the rewards order list . This does enable skip the rewards waiting list . Basically, it's this list right here. In other words, when you open it, a list appears showing the current rewards or pending rewards, and you just have to check them off to indicate delivered them. If you don't need to be checking them, then you can simply skip that option and it will automatically change. Now you can the settings. The next thing we need is a program to be able to is usually OBS Studio. There are others like Mel Studio, but this one uses a start with something very basic, which is OBS Studio. If you need any other might be useful, please leave it in the comments. At the moment, Kick is not n't be able to stream from a console, at least not directly. You can use third-party applications like Prams Live to redirect your stream to YouTube or Twitch, and from there rebroadcast to another platform such as Kick. But you ca n't do it directly from the console yet, maybe later, but not at the moment. And when it upload a video for you. If you want to know how to do it with a third-party application, gladly make a video for you. The official OBS website is obsproject.com. operating system we have. In my case I'm going to choose Windows and a download will begin. Once that download is complete, we'll simply open the program and click " next" through everything. It's very we have finished the installation, this will appear, which is the entire OBS interface. Let's start with the basics, which will be the adjustments. Here in settings you will see the different options we have to configure our OBS. The most important thing is to connect to our KCICK account. To do this, we will go to the broadcast tab and paste the server name and the transmission key, which we saw earlier within our KCK platform. We copied and pasted it. Then in the output we will be able to settings that we have. This depends on your internet speed. How can you know that? Then you go to the website e speedtest.net. I have a total download speed of 704 and an upload speed of 722. Now I recommend you search for " configuration rate" or the word "Google bitrate" on Google and this will appear . Here we will be able to see how much bit rate is needed depending on the resolution at which we are going to transmit, but also how much internet it will consume depending on what will consume depending on what type of encoder we use. For example, but if we go here, we have a bit rate of 2,500 a bit rate of 2,500 KB. This is reflected in 2.5 MB. This goes as far as this, up to a resolution of even 720. I could upload speed available. The important thing is the upload speed, not so much the download speed. So, for example, in this case, I could even stream at 4K without problems, but I would have to put, uh, 40,000 KB, honestly because of my computer's resources, because that's another thing too, the processor consumes a lot. So, I'm going to put it at this 4 MB resolution. So, we'll simply set it to 4000 here in case you want to stream at 1080p, for example, we'll set it to 4000. That's frame interval is mentioned a lot, and it's recommended to set it to 2 seconds. So recommended to set it to 2 seconds. So here we're going to set it to 2 seconds and here the CPU usage is left at the default very fast so that it works well. . We can leave it as it is from here more advanced configurations, but I'm showing you the basics. Next, we'll go to the audio section and make sure it's capturing the sound source from our computer correctly, whether you want to capture the sound from the computer itself or from want. Your microphone is also there, right here where it says microphone device. Furthermore, we'll leave it as it is. In video mode, we will select the resolution at which we will be transmitting. I always recommend leaving both in the same place so you don't get confused and so it does n't waste processing power on scaling. But if you wish, well, look, the base canvas is what your computer is set to, that is, what resolution you have on your computer, and the scaled output resolution will be the resolution at which it will be I recommend leaving it at both so there isn't so much trouble, but ultimately it's up to you. And clearly here you'll see a type of scale filter if you choose the scale option, which I recommend is the bicubic option. So, since we have it here, let's select the FPS. Many people want to stream at 60 fps, but to be honest, the resolution difference with this option is n't noticeable at 60 or 30 during a stream, so I always leave it at 29.97, 97, or 30, but it's up to you . After this, we just click on apply and accept, and that's it. You can start streaming directly here as soon as you press the start streaming button. And to stop it, you choose to stop streaming. scenes and sources are. And that would be all . The scenes are where you'll be able to broadcast, whether it's charting, for example, like here you and I are, or when you're recording a tutorial or playing a video game. So, to create a plus button and enter the scene name, scene name, new scene. We click accept and here we have our scene already created. And to create our fonts, we click select the font we want. If we want, for example, a source for one of the alerts, we will select where it says alerts, we will select where it says browser and here we will select the alerts that we previously created and arrange them. How do wondering. Well, for that we're going to go directly to the next page called streamlaabs.com. click on login and select login with kick. Once we're in here, we're going to go to where it says "alert box". Here we can start creating our alerts. In this section we'll make sure this is enabled. The design must be image over text, or you can put the text over the image or the image to the left. To see how it will look, always choose the preview option so it shows you can upload any image by clicking this little arrow here, and pre-set ones, or if you want to upload one of your own, click here where it says "uploads" and then click or drag and drop to upload. It will automatically open a screen and there you can start selecting any image so that this image is already loaded, or is a GIF. Look, you select it, they make you select it, and if appearing. Here in the template you can change the name where it says this, which name of the user who will follow you and here everything else you want to add. For example, it's following you now. We see, we see. He's following you now. This is the you want it to last? It could be 8 seconds or 300 seconds. I honestly recommend leaving it at 8 seconds. It's perfect. Text delay refers to how long it will take for the text to appear, not the image. I'll show you. I'm going to put 4 seconds here and if you look, absolutely nothing appears until after 4 seconds. You can't make it that long here because it only allows a maximum of 8 seconds of text delay, but I recommend leaving it at 8 seconds, I do n't really see why, well, everyone has their own style, right? Here in the sound section, you can load the sound for that alert, and it's exactly the same with the little arrow and the upload section if you want to load some audio with MP3 or choose the default ones. Then in the font settings section we can choose the type of font being used. There are quite a few types of fonts you can use here, and that's entirely up to you. Personally, I really like using the VBAS New; it's one of my favorites. It looks very aesthetically pleasing and makes this one stand out more. Here you can change the font size, the font thickness, which is this part here, look. Well, the thickness can't be changed . In some versions you can't change the thickness, but in this one you can, as well as the text color and text highlighting, which is the little greenish part you see when you select the name. This background color is just for testing purposes, so don't pay too much attention to it. The alert animation is how you want the alert to appear, with a certain animation, and how you want it to disappear, also with a certain animation. And the animation of the text, which is how it's being seen from this side, as you can see, is kind of shaking a little. Then after it is important to press the save settings button and then we are going to select this option that says copy widget URL. We click copy and now we go to our OBS. Within our OBS we are going to select a new source. We click here on add, we choose browser. Let's put whatever name we want here, for example, new alerts, whatever we want, right? Here we will paste our URL. We're going to paste it and set the same resolution as we have in our OBS stream. In this case it's 1920. 1920 times 1080. Let's accept and since we have it like this , we can now do the test, right? So, to do the says start. We're going to click here where it says "test" and then click and says "test" and then click and follow up. If you hear double sound or if it sounds like an alert added to different scenes. That's a very common mistake. What does that mean? First, basic mistakes. The alert has to be above the other sources because you can have several sources, you can have sources, you can have image capture sources, screenshot sources, so top. And then the other mistake is that when you want to move to another scene or create a new one, the problem is that you think, "No, browser, and create a new have several, as you can see here. So, the important thing is to choose the option that says "Add existing" and select the alerts you want to import from those you've already created , for example, new alerts. That way you don't have to recreate them one by one; you simply import the ones that are already selected. That way, you won't be selecting them twice. Okay, once we have this created, we have the alerts, we have the sources, and also keep in mind that this is exactly the same Twitch subscriptions, which also have those settings on the left side. explain it in detail because, as I said, the steps are exactly the same. The chat section is exactly the same; the steps to add it as a source are exactly the same. So, configure it however you like difference here—and I'll quickly show you how to copy and paste it— is that the chat needs to be added in an inverted resolution added in an inverted resolution instead of 1920 by 1080. It's 1080 by 1920 to give us this vertical effect. Otherwise, vertical effect. Otherwise, everything will appear horizontal. It looks the same, but the space limitation won't be as advantageous. inverted, and that's all you need to know about tell you one of the most important things you need to know. Streaming on Kick doesn't guarantee you'll have viewers. important: create content on other social media platforms. And for that, I recommend having a good plan to to your live streams. I have incredibly helpful; it's one of my top recommendations. To the people, this is how to grow on Instagram using Reels. You can apply these same Reels and this same strategy to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or any other social network, but I think the foundation is there, with Reels. So, I recommend you go check it out. It's helped me reach over 5 million users per month. So, go watch it . I'll leave it right here great day, may the force be with you, and I'll see you in the next video.
