[00:01] your chances of growing on Twitch by more than 100 times? And to do that, in just a few minutes you can simply adjust some settings on both your PC and mobile. So now imagine you're streaming, your

[00:14] viewers are enjoying it and interacting with you, and suddenly your live stream drops and shows everyone that your broadcast has ended. Even if you're very quick to some viewers. To reduce the chance of this

[00:30] happening, we'll click on your profile picture, then on your profile picture, then Creator Dashboard, go to settings and broadcast, and here you'll activate this option: "

[00:43] Connection Loss Protection." Because then, if your live stream drops, instead of showing everyone that your broadcast has ended, this image will appear so people know you're reconnecting. And that's just to get us started. There are settings that, in addition

[00:56] to keeping your viewers engaged, will make your channel grow much faster. One thing that helps a lot is having a more professional-looking live stream. And for that, take a look at this: OneD Pro is great for those who

[01:09] want a professional live stream because they have more than... 600 alerts and they have more than... 600 alerts and overlays that you can change at will. They focused on specific games like

[01:21] Fortnite or Call of Duty. And in addition, they have a huge library of royalty-free music live stream. No problem at all, they are songs of various styles and you can even create your own playlists. And if

[01:34] you click on the link now, you will have access to five free overlays for you to test. So go to the link in the description and up here, and there's a live stream for... let's suppose you're doing your live streams and sharing your

[01:48] channel link around, but you're not always going to be live, right? So it's possible that someone clicks on your link, enters your channel to check out your content, and finds this screen, and just because there's nothing here, the chance of the person being

[02:02] interested in following you and watching your live streams has practically dropped to zero. So, to prevent this from happening, we're going to go back to the Creator control panel. We're going to go down to VOD settings and enable "store

[02:15] past broadcasts" and also check "always publish VODs." The VOD will and also... A little further down here, in the settings, highlight this clip, and so that when someone enters your channel, they can see your content even

[02:31] if you're offline. And this next one is one that every time we see Jesus, we cry. Actually, Jesus also cries when you don't like the video. Okay, but to make it show you a problem, let's take this opportunity to understand a very important idea:

[02:44] What is the thing we need most to grow our live stream? It's an audience, right? And what's the best way to gain an audience for our live stream? Actually, there are two things: first, with good content, and second, with a

[02:59] dynamic chat. Because the more people we have talking in our chat, the more opportunities we have to respond to people, which consequently generates more people, which consequently generates more content, and this attracts more audience. In

[03:12] other words, a live stream doesn't survive without as many people as possible talking in the chat, people as possible talking in the chat, so we need to encourage and make it so we need to encourage and make it as easy as possible for people to interact

[03:25] in the chat. And to increase the chance of this happening, here in the settings, you 'll click on moderation, scroll down to the bottom, and here in "only follower mode," you'll leave it deactivated because I feel like dying when

[03:41] audience to a smaller streamer, then I 'll comment on how that works, and I go to the person's chat and they have this function activated that forces a new person arriving in the live chat to follow and wait 10 minutes before they

[03:57] can type anything. Oh, but I 'm afraid of being insulted and getting hated to start with. If you don't like getting hate, subscribe to the channel. And secondly, to avoid these jerks, you'll scroll up here in automod. I use

[04:09] level one, but you can click here and change it if you think it's necessary. Here you can block terms and phrases from your chat. Ban detection and evasion, I leave level two. Sharing ban information, this

[04:23] allows you to share bans with other channels of your friends, for example. So, if someone is banned on another channel, they are banned on yours too, and vice versa. Check the option to block hyperlinks here, further down in

[04:35] channel privileges, check these options here, and here in follower verifications, you check these options too. If you have someone you trust who can help you moderate your chat, you... Scroll down here and check the "

[04:47] Moderator Tools" option in the chat. You can also activate this last option here, and then in your chat, go to the "mod" bar, a space, and the nickname of the person who will moderate your channel. After that, if someone comes into your chat and starts bothering you,

[04:59] After that, if someone comes into your chat and starts bothering you, ban them and move on. In other words, of strangers hinder the growth of your channel. Speaking of making it easier for people in the chat to interact with you, it's good to respond to people

[05:12] as quickly as possible. For example, if someone comments on what they think of this video, I usually respond very quickly. Remember, interaction? So, regarding responding to people in the chat faster, there are two tips and one setting.

[05:25] The first tip is to remember that the game is just a backdrop for your live stream. The most important thing is the people who are watching you, so pay attention to them. To make it easier, there's a second screen to follow the chat; it

[05:39] can be just a cell phone, for example. A setting that helps you respond much faster is here in "Transmission" and here in "Latency Mode." Select " Low Latency" so messages appear faster for you. But if you have a

[05:54] weaker PC... You can select normal latency, which will make your live stream a little lighter and only a few seconds longer. Before I mentioned sending your audience from one live stream to another, remember that's what

[06:06] we call a "Hide"? So you can send a Hide to another channel or receive one. To send a Hide to another channel, just type in your another channel, just type in your chat: "Hide," a space, and the name of the channel

[06:19] you want to send your audience to. Always do this at the end of your stream; it helps the other channel and you too. To receive Hides, go to the too. To receive Hides, go to the

[06:34] check "Allow receiving Hides." But PR, you'll receive many more Hides and grow your channel much faster. You need to make your live stream at least better than 99% of streamers. But this is very easy, and

[06:50] you don't need to spend a penny on equipment, etc. In this video over there, I'll show you how. So that's it, a hug, and see you in and see you in March.
