The Berry Nice Log

This is a example of what can happen to your stream channels chat if you are very successful with embedding. A EVE Online player called, "Berry Nice" pays my ingame chat channel a visit.  Here is his long rant all about my twitch stream and how I'm killing "eve".


[ 2017.02.25 22:12:06 ] Berry Nice > why do you view bot?

[ 2017.02.25 22:13:45 ] Berry Nice > you're cheating the system to show at the top of twitch
[ 2017.02.25 22:13:50 ] Berry Nice > and you have like 5 legitimate viewers
[ 2017.02.25 22:13:52 ] DaOpa > Prove they are fake and show it to twitch

[ 2017.02.25 22:16:40 ] DaOpa > Are you playing dumb now? Of course it is
[ 2017.02.25 22:16:49 ] DaOpa > Twitch has a law suit against that stuff right now in court
[ 2017.02.25 22:16:58 ] Berry Nice > embedding your stream is allowed

[ 2017.02.25 22:21:47 ] DaOpa > False claim is pretty obvious
[ 2017.02.25 22:21:57 ] Berry Nice > you have 36 viewers in your viewer list
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:07 ] Berry Nice > which means 5% of your viewers have an account
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:16 ] Berry Nice > the average for streams is 70%
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:26 ] Berry Nice > which means we can assume that AT BEST you have a legitimate 100 viewers
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:27 ] Berry Nice > AT BEST
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:30 ] DaOpa > That doesnt work for my stream and how I do streaming
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:34 ] Bon Shardani > xD
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:39 ] DaOpa > you know I embed
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:39 ] Berry Nice > yeah because you embed your stream
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:41 ] Berry Nice > on every website
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:45 ] Berry Nice > which gives you fake viewers
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:49 ] DaOpa > People consume my website outside of twitch
[ 2017.02.25 22:22:55 ] Berry Nice > i seriously doubt it
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:00 ] DaOpa > Embed is not fake viewers
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:10 ] Berry Nice > i dont know how many times i opened your shitty stream by mistake and muted it
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:14 ] Berry Nice > it's totally fake
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:22 ] Pax Sex > Berry Nice take the time to read the info bellow his stream, check his website and piss off
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:36 ] DaOpa > I do not hide anything
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:40 ] Bon Shardani > can u kick him out of ur room?
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:41 ] DaOpa > I disclose everything
[ 2017.02.25 22:23:42 ] Pax Sex > holy shit sick of these people hating a streamer because he has viewers, just move on to a channel you like

Name changing option is available now on Twitch!

Guide on how to change your username for Twitch.tv.

This is going to be a short guide on how to change your username for Twitch.tv.

Steps:
  1. Login to your Twitch account and go to your profile settings page.
    (twitch.tv/settings/profile)
  2. In the Username section click Edit.
    It will list if you are eligible to do a name change, name changes are only allowed once every 60 days.
  3. Enter in your new username and press Update.






Updated guide on how to change twitch name is available!

FAQs

Question:
What happens to my old username?

Answer:
It will be held inactive for a minimum of six months, afterwords it may be available back in the pool for others to use.

For Partner's old usernames will not be available anymore except in special circumstances.

Question:
Do dashboard stats from previous username show up on new account name?

Answer:
No, all stats from old account name are gone. Make sure you download that data before you make the game change.

Question:
Can I lose my current username to someone else?

Answer:
As long as you are active on that account for at least 12 months, not violate any trademarks or involved in any sort of impersonation your username will be fine.

Opinion:
Make sure you know once you change your username, the URL associated with it will be dead. It will not automatically redirect users to the new name. Any embeds or links outside of twitch will all be gone. For this reason alone I would say if your a long time Twitch broadcaster, doing a name change will be killer. I would recommend rather then doing a name changes is to setup another channel and then auto host that channel. Being able to keep the old channel running lets you also put in information into the panel and news feed about the new channel. You can also setup a chat room bot that directs viewers to the new channel.

Crowd sourcing for streamers guide

Crowd sourcing for streamers guide

My definition for crowd sourcing for broadcasters is generally getting viewers to contribute for ideas, services, promoting your brand and/or channel.


Crowd sourcing for live streamers can come in many different fashions, here are some examples:
  • Streamer is playing a game for the first time and asks questions on game mechanics.
    • The game community or viewers then obtain information and answer the streamer questions about said game.
  • Broadcaster asks viewers to Tweet or Retweet, post on Reddit etc. stream related things.
    • This can be giveaway related or some sorts of contests.
    • A retweet of the stream going live, which then gets more syndication via re-tweeters follower lists.
  • A twitch streamer asks community for help making images such as logos, emoticons, and screenshots.
    • Many talented viewers out there and some are indeed graphic artists, sometimes asking for help can yield very positive returns.
    • Emoticons if are done really well can be a subscriber perk on itself, I'm pretty sure some people sub to a couple of Twitch streams just to get the emoticon packs to use across the platform.
  • Donations, Money for Equipment and other various items.
    • Many streamers put up a donation goal amount on overlays be it for general funding, hardware related or future giveaways.
  • Hosting, Auto Hosting, Networking with others
    • This sometimes can achieve crowd-sourcing proportions depending on who you network with on the platform.
  • Loyalty Systems
    • Another way if done in a certain fashion can lead into crowd-sourcing, basically using the crowd to fund the loyalty rewards and scaling it up.
  • PR, PR Stunts
    • One of the more powerful ways of using a community is to create PR and let the viewers syndicate it out for you.
    • Charity related activities
    • PR Stunts - some of the things I have noticed broadcasters doing in my personal opinion is very unethical but sadly people buy this stuff up and syndicate it out on reddit and social media like crazy
  • Twitch Teams
    • Some Twitch Teams are used for crowd sourcing a brand, service or advertising certain streamers. When you see a Twitch Team with dozens upon dozens of streamers in the list rest assure its someone using it for this exact sort of a thing.
  • Twitch Clips
    • Viewers can make clips of your stream and syndicate it out via social media or other platforms.
    • Use Viewer clips and combine them in a compilation to re-upload via the Upload system on Twitch.
I will update with more examples in the future.


Using crowd sourcing is getting to the point a must have in order to be successful on the platform. If you do not have good crowd sourcing skills you will have to work a lot harder in certain avenues. You need to push your brand, channel and content out as much as possible. Using the crowd to do it for you is the best way if you can do it in a organic way.  As they are helping you, you have to help them in some fashion also be it by entertainment or by other means.
