But for those who don't know me, I'm alias, and obviously, I'm joking about you actually earning $16 an hour. It's confirmed there will be a creator program, but it doesn't have a release date yet, and most likely, you won't get paid $16 an hour if you stream and only 10 people watch. But if that does happen, I'll make only 10 people watch. But if that does happen, I'll make possible so you can get your mom, dad, brother, sister, and even your dog to stream. We 'll be using OBS for this tutorial. And if you're using Streamlabs right now, do yourself a favor and download it. Obviously, if you were already streaming on Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, or wherever—which I think is pretty OBS, we're going to select our profile with the... When we stream, we click on "Duplicate Profile" and rename it " Kick Streams." I imagine that by this point in the video you've already created a Kick account, and if not, go make one, bro. It's $16 an hour. Once created, we click on our profile, Creator Control Panel, Settings, Streaming Key. Click here to copy the server. We go back to step 10, click on Settings, then Mission, then Service, and choose the one that says "Custom." Where it says " Server," we paste what we copied from Kick. We go back here, and now we copy the stream key. We go back to step 10, paste this here, apply, and accept. If, in your particular case, it's the first time you're going to stream on OBS, create a new profile, click on " Show Automatic" and accept. We're going to choose the first option, then Canvas 1920 by 1080 at 60 frames per second. Next, in Service, we choose "Custom" and repeat what I just explained. Click next. Obviously, it will analyze your PC, measure your internet, and all that stuff. When it finishes, click on " Apply Settings." And that's it! Basically, with this, you're ready to start streaming on Kick. I mean, literally, if you click "Start Streaming" in the obvious settings, you'd already be we still have those 5 minutes I mentioned, so let's set up your alerts. For that, we'll go to this page called Botrix. I'll leave the link in the description. Log in with whatever account you want; I'll use Twitch for more fun. Close this window and click "Log in with Kick." Enter your username Kick." Enter your username here and click "Accept." Now it will ask you to grant the bot moderation. Go back to your Kick control panel, click " Community," then "Moderators," then "Add New." Type "Botrix" and select it; it's the only user with a green checkmark. Don't mess this up! Go back to the Botrix page and click "Continue." When this new window appears, copy this text from here, click the link that glows green, and paste what you copied into the chat that opens. Press enter, and you're done! You'll see that your account is linked correctly. On the Botrix page, click "Finish," and here... You can verify that your channel is connected, and now let's move on to the alerts. At the top left, click on "Alerts," and here you'll see all the available alerts. I'll just configure one for you, but don't First, I'm going to click on " Preview," and a second window will open. I 'll arrange it as you see it on the screen so you can see the alert changes. If you click on the green button that says "Followers," you can see a preview of the alert in the window that opened. And if we scroll down a bit, here's where we can change the alert style. If you don't like that astronaut video, go to "Gif," find something you like, and save that GIF to your computer. Now, here where it says "Image," click the green button, select the GIF, and when it loads, scroll down and click on " Save Settings." Test the alert again, and you'll see that the video has changed. If you scroll down again, you can change the font style, color, etc., and the text that appears when someone follows you. I set it to Spanish. When you're finished, don't forget to click "Save," or the alert won't change. Once all that's done... Let's click here where it says copy. We'll open OBS, says copy. We'll open OBS, click on "More," paste the link, click on " Control Audio via OBS," and accept. Now, in the audio mixer, click on the gear icon, then "Advanced Audio Properties," and in the channel that says " Kick Alerts," click here and select " Monitoring Only," "Mute Output," and " Close." Send a test alert again, and now you'll be able to see the alert in OBS. You'll also be able to hear the alert in your headphones. And there you have it! That's how you can stream in Kick with alerts in less than 5 minutes. I hope it was less than 5 minutes.
