Streaming with a slower chat can be INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT for new Streamers! Did you know if a new viewer types something in YOUR chat, they are 50% MORE likely to come back to YOUR channel!
This means giving viewers a reason to talk in your chat is crucial if you want to grow your average viewers, and create a successful channel.
I asked 4000 Twitch users about how active they are in chat, and what makes them more likely to engage with a streamer… and you will be amazed how little it takes for them to actually chat, today we are covering easy tips to get more chatters on Twitch!

How To Grow Your Average Viewers & Get More Chatters On Twitch:
First things first in this giant list, one of the most powerful ways to increase chat activity is… well... having chatters already… I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I promise it’s important to understand and yes, there are tips for people with no viewers in this video later but I need to get this out of the way.
Nothing makes someone more likely to chat than seeing others already engaging, if you’re new or just starting out, I recommend asking some friends to hang out in your chat and have a chat with you, it helps boost your average viewers, and if someone new drops by and can join in on the conversation than those friends can greet the new viewer, and welcome them into both the conversation and the community.
The important thing to remember here is they need to be able to join in, if the back and forth is super in-depth, unrelatable, or personal then-new viewers will likely leave rather than try to join in.

How To Use Open-Ended Questions To Get More Chatters?
If you’ve ever desperately googled the question, “How to make friends” like I did as a teenager, then you’ll know that one of the best ways to start conversations and get to know people is by using open-ended questions. Granted we aren’t looking to make friends, but the concept is the same.
If you have a few chatters, or viewers and want to engage them than asking yes or no questions isn’t the right approach, you should ask open ended questions that allow for elaboration, such as “Man, I watched my favourite movie the other day Stardust, and it got me thinking, what are your favorite movies?”
What Games Increase Chat Activity On Twitch?
There are games specifically designed to increase chat activity such as Words On Stream, Marbles On Stream, Gartic On Stream, and Mods that allow Chat to control the game from chat.
All of these have a component that allow the chat to engage with the game and can be massive to increase activity, and again it also feeds back into my first tip that people will be more active if they see others being active.
If you’re looking for segments you can do in Just chatting that increase activity, and spark conversation then I recommend looking at Tier Lists, Bracket Fights, Buzzfeed quizzes, and one of my favorites Google Feud.
