How To Grow On Twitch?
If you want to grow your Twitch stream, it is important to be critical. Being critical isn’t a bad thing, people say, “Oh don’t be so critical of yourself!”.
But there are a lot of things you can control and improve, such as your visuals, audio, and most importantly your content that you’re creating. Watch back your VoD and be honest with yourself, is it up to scratch. Does your mic sound good? Are you engaging? Is it easy to watch and enjoy or is there something that is off-putting? Be honest, push yourself to grow, and become a better entertainer!
Because at the end of the day, the only way you are going to grow your stream is by growing yourself and being critical in a positive way.

How To Use The Twitch Ads Manager
The new feature is called the Ads Manager, and it essentially replaces the manual run ads quick action widgets.
To find out if you’ve got it, head to Creator Dashboard then click Affiliate / Partner in my case then Scroll down to Ads Manager. Make sure you’ve got Disable preroll ads turned on.
Then click the Ad Manager, you can schedule your ad spacing, meaning how often ads play, change the ad length so 30 seconds is 1 ad and that turns pre-rolls off for 10 minutes, 90 seconds or 3 ads is 30 minutes of pre-rolls off. These two tools need to be balanced carefully, personally, I am setting mine to 60 - 90 seconds every 45 minutes to an hour, but find what works for you, then you can set a delay, you’ll want this delay to be as short as possible.
The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.

Should I Use Streamlabs OBS For Streaming?
Streamlabs OBS is incredibly beginner-focused, you might look at the user interface and say it is confusing but I promise you this is so much simpler for a beginner to get set up, It comes with all the tools you’ll need to start streaming, literally built into it.
It comes with a Chatbox to monitor your chat, event queue to monitor followers, subs, etc. If you want to add alerts? Just add an Alert box widget, if you want to have your chat on screen? You can add a chat box widget easily! You do not need to install a single plugin to get up and running.
Streamlabs OBS is a fantastic program for beginners and experienced streamers looking to start streaming quickly and easily.

Should I Use Streamlabs OBS Or OBS For Streaming?
If you are a beginner or you aren’t looking to get incredibly technical with your streams, or you want to get up and running quickly with everything in the same place then install and use Streamlabs OBS OR use StreamElements OBS.live because both will get you set up instantly if you want to get custom and create advanced technical aspects to add to your stream go with OBS Studio because it is more customizable, it has more plugin support and is more stable.
How Do You Import .Overlay Files Into OBS? Studio
OBS also lacks an easy way to install overlays, BUT if you have a .overlay you can install that into Streamlabs OBS, and then open both programs.
From there, go to OBS, click Scene Collection, select import, OBS will either pull up all your overlays but IF IT DOESN’T, you can manually go to where SLOBs is default installing overlays, the default folder structure is below, once selected it will bring up all your overlays, and you can select which to import into OBS.
Default SLOBS location for scenes is;

![Should YOU Use Streamlabs Or OBS? (Best Streaming Software, Alerts, And More)
If you asked me 3 years ago, what streaming software you should use to go live, I probably would’ve said Streamlabs because of how easy it is to setup, but 2 years ago, I would’ve said OBS because it works with StreamElements, and is overall better.
Now in 2024, so much has changed again, there are so many options for streaming software and alert platforms, which all do wildly different things.
Today I want to break down four years worth of streaming and content creation experience, to cover the major streaming software, their pros, and cons, whether they good for beginners, will other streamers bully you for using it, do they cause your game to lag, can they make you grow faster, what alert platforms go well with them, what drama have these brands gotten into, and which is the absolute best for you to use
Because I don’t think there is a simple answer anymore.

Streamlabs OBS is a fantastic program for beginners but due to its bloated nature, glitches, widget issues, and more, it can be frustrating for beginners to try fix issues that occur, and tends to use far more CPU resources which can cause Stream lagg.
