I have created a gaming live stream (Valorant) on Youtube.
I did not record it. (Added shortcuts in OBS for future)
I have created 2 clips from it.
I want to combine both and create a short from it.

Is there a way to download these clips or directly combine them to form a short?

I've been spending so much time watching and rewatching my videos in order to timestamp my gaming Walkthrough how-to videos... but in my last series, i didnt have time to timestamp at all...and somehow they exploded comparatively.

I do things my own way on my channel and Im not trying to follow trends or change my channel. but... this just confuses me. Anyone else notice timestamps not helping viewship (and possibly the opposite)?

Hey guys! I had an idea to start a YouTube channel playing old DS games, but the only way for me to really do that is to use an emulator like Delta. Is this legal? I understand there are a ton of grey areas with this, but I couldn’t find anything about posting on YouTube, and I just want to see if it’s all safe!! Thank you guys and sorry if the question is stupid!

How can I increase engagement on my YouTube channel? My channel features AI voice content like game news, edits, and Steam reviews. Is it because people can't relate to the AI voice that they are not subscribing? Can you help me with this?

Hi peeps,

I have recorded tons of videos and want to edit them for upload purposes. I thought I was going to use Canva but I get the message that my file sizes are too big. What would be the best alternative? Is it capcut? I find it hard in capcut to exactly pinpoint where I want to cut of a video and then continue with a different part. Thanks for the help!

I'm considering on making a top list based on games that were popular amongst let's players of the 2010's. I had the idea of ranking them based on either how many views or number a videos the games have garnished over the years. Similar to how Twitch has a way to see how many people are playing certain games or Steam Charts. Is there a way I can find such information?

Heyho!

I have some questions in regards to streaming horizontal and vertical on youtube at the same time. I have implemented this into my setup since a couple of weeks ago. The promise of my streams getting fed into the shorts feed sounded promising.

But I feel like to does not really do anything. I don't really see my stream getting tracktion from that. I have also heard about the 3-uploads rule from youtube, where as if you upload more than 3 things per day it might hurt the channel? Technically, if I do one community post, as well as the horizontal and the vertical stream, that would be 3 things in one day. Might that already be a problem? I wonder if anyone else on here is using that.

For contect: of course I restream to youtube only and also stream on Twitch at the same time, where most of my engagement and audience usually is. I also do mostly content in german now, so I wonder if there is actually anything of a german audience for youtube shorts & streams, which might be a factor. (most people here use tiktok for short form and vertical streams, but of course I don't have any data on that)

Anyone else with some interesting data or intel on how vertical streaming on YT is progressing?

Recently I have seen some creators streaming what I speculate is prerecorded and somehow looped content on shorts. An example of this is any of this creator's recent streams: https://www.youtube.com/@zeusshort/streams

I've also seen shorts streams that may not be prerecorded or looped but are very similar to each other. An example is this creator's "Attacking bedrock golem until I reach X subs": https://www.youtube.com/@CoolPufferFish/streams, where he is most likely afk.

My question is does YouTube flag these streams as duplicate? If so, do the streams get punished by YouTube (demonetized, less help from the algorithm, shadow banned, striked, etc.) and is it possible to get around this?

Hello! So I play Xbox and have a pretty new MacBook desktop. I want to set up a channel like Berleezy or Jacksepticeye or Markiplier, where I do funny walkthroughs. Is all I need a capture card and some editing software? Would my headphone microphone sync up or would I have to do something else? Please give me any suggestions or advice you have, thank you!

Hi! I'm quite interested in making a Youtube channel for the games i'm passionate about and play. Before I create the channel I need some help by figuring out which screen recorder and editing app I should use? I am on PC so any suggestions would be incredibly helpful please.

I didn't think about discussing this on this sub until now, but I figured it's a good place to bring it up even tho we all know about this by now.

My channel has 1.31k subs and my videos, when they're on popular games are doing great, for my standards great is anything above 500 views, popular games do 1.2-3.8k views and they bring subscribes in too. But if I make a video on a less popular title or subject I'm lucky to break 300-400 views.

Things used to be different in 2008, sure, even unpopular videos would get tons of views and engagement but ever since 2016 it has been this way so it is what it is. I remember in 2008 I'd put up a video with no commentary and just an explanation in the description on an obscure Commodore 64 game and I'd get 14-15k views easily. I used to make Spore creatures back then and my highest rated one got 300k views in no time at all.

Fast forward to 2016, I made, my then dormant channel into a gaming channel and yeah, the days of unpopular videos reaching people were long gone.

But it makes me sad that unless you are an established high-sub count youtuber videos on unpopular or unknown games just won't get views. I want to spread the word about some games or share my thoughts on them and I can't even get 500 views, but if I make a video on a popular game or port of a game or what have you, 2k views, 3k views.

I don't do youtube for money, I come and go, I have a real life job that makes me good income.

I refuse to monetize youtube even if I could at one point because I don't want to be tied down by even more rules and regulations. But being able to share with even more people would be lovely.

For example I made a video on this bootleg Super Mario World for NES, video got 100+ views in the first two hours and a total of 3.8-3.9k views in a week. But videos I have on SMT Soul Hackers and Lion King II(bootleg game for mega drive/genesis) barely managed to hit 300 views after weeks.

I don't need advice, I am not looking to change or be a clown or follow algorithm trends

I'm BEYOND happy with my videos and their style, I'm not complaining or advertising I don't post links or anything.

I'm just saying

it's such a shame we can't share everything gaming related with more folk when clearly stuff on popular subjects gets as many views as a small channel can amass.

Basically i really want to start a gaming channel, maybe with weekly videos at first to see if i enjoy it, worth my time etc. But i dont know where to start. I like mobile games and console games alike, and i cant decide if i want to stick to one game or make videos on games i find interesting.

The pros of the first option is that i would get more watchtime and stuff cause people probably sub for that, so if i would make vids on a lot of games i would probably get a lot less views.

O really dont know where to start, any tips?

Normally these types of games are very complex, and most of the players like to look for tutorials and analysis when it comes to entering games like those Grand Strategy Games of Paradox (Stellaris, Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, Heart of Iron IV, etc.) or games of Automation (Factorio, Satisfactory) and Economy Management (Tycoons). It's not as big as other people: Action, Adventure, RPG, Survivals, Horror, Casual, etc. But normally those who watch videos of this genre are people with a lot of retention, patience, maturity and willingness to learn, most are adults in the strategy-games community, they are functional people and advertisers are interested in this age group. So... what do you think about this kind of games on YouTube? Worth it?

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing great. I've been thinking about starting a Youtube channel about video games, gameplays, etc. I have watched several videos to learn more about it and find guidance. Several creators say that it is important to focus on a specific topic or game to start. I think this makes sense, however, I would like to know your opinion. What do you like about a video game channel? Do you look for content about a specific video game or do you just like the youtuber's style? I would like to know your opinion. Thank you very much in advance.

Can you name a gaming youtuber that started releasing videos after the pandemic, and gets at least 500k-1 million views a month?

I've been looking and genuinely cant find any

I can't seem to find any.

I want to make a channel where I post cutscenes and boss fights of my own from video games. Is there any tips for how I can build engagement for a channel like this?

Video games have a special channel created by Youtube.

But they're not very useful for searching (no filter by youtuber, number of views...). Is there a way to search for videos tagging these games on YouTube?

I'm wondering what my Discord, video game audio, mic audio, and music audio should be at for my YouTube videos. Also if I make reaction content how loud should the video that I'm watching be? I want to also become a streamer so I'm assuming everything from those two apply over but the same time I want to do YouTube. My biggest problem though is I can't really rely on how my headphones sound because My headphones increase the audios loudness and it's not comparable to how the audio will sound on other mediums like phone or a TV. I just want to know what DB it needs to be at and if later I have to for some reason boost the audio in DaVinci resolve. I plan on eventually going to premiere pro. I've been on hiatus for 6 months since my monitor broke. I forgot all my audio levels and stuff like that and I don't even know if I had them right in the first place. https://youtu.be/tMQq0jDQvrU?si=XOa6JS-y2rEF-ZzV https://youtu.be/IwxhltdjP44?si=j8z_P3uQ3E5Vrvef

These are two videos I made. I heard that I struggle with clipping which probably is due to me not setting my gain at the right level. I don't know what to exactly do you guys so could someone please help me. I'm trying to be the best content creator I can be. I remember music used to be like 30 to 32 DB. That's about it

I've dabbled in streaming on and off over the years and decided a while back that I really didn't like Twitch and the sheer number of adverts they show viewers, so I moved exclusively to YouTube.

At that time, there was an ability within YouTube under the gaming category to browse all the different games and then view the channels that were live under those games. This appears to no longer be a thing and when you do eventually manage to find a game category page, the live tab shows nothing.

I also remember there being quite a lot of exciting developments coming out specifically aimed at YouTube gaming a few years back, but that seems to have stalled too.

Are we slowly seeing the death of YouTube streaming without a streamer actually having to create content on YouTube outside of your live streams?

Hello guys,

Is it possible to download my streams in 1080p resolution (they are in streamed in 1080p)?

Because Youtube only lets me download in 720p. I did try a lot of browser downloading sites but they either cant even process the stream or if I manage to download them my editing software cant open them.

Any advices or help would be great, thank you all very much.

My son has a PS4 and Meta Quest 3 at the house, and a PS5 at his grandmothers and he is now saying he wants to live stream when he plays. Can you guys please tell me what I need to buy to get him started? He’s 11 so I don’t want to break the bank on a setup just yet, but definitely something that is going to work great for him and isn’t that hard to use to get started.

Is the best time 6am or 9am? Or should I ever. Hangs time based on days? Like post at 1pm on Monday, 12am on Wednesday, and 10am on Friday?

My account is was made in 2013 and has been migrated into a brand account

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7278798?hl=en

My question is if I join a channel as a member will it show up as my account name or will it us my real name from my google/personal account name? The personal account on youtube says no channel under it and all my subs/comments are on the brand account. I would want a streamer to read out the account name not my real name.

How hard is it to make? Are there demand for it. Or is it really hard? What about the views? Can I make a living out of it. Im not really the best but I improve day by day

Hi there, looking to do a video essay project that's been bubbling for years that I'll be posting on Youtube. It involves recording gameplay from PS3, Switch and/or PS5.

The thing is, I don't want to stream at all. I just want the gameplay (video and audio) to be recorded so I can take the file and edit it later in iMovie or Adobe Premiere or Final Cut.

Doing research on capture cards I keep seeing stuff about OBS and virtually every single capture card fronts 'streaming' before video recording. OBS from my understanding is for streaming mainly.

I also like the idea of recording onto an SSD card and not my computer because of my gaming set up.

What is the best way to capture video and audio of my gameplay if I have no intention of ever streaming in any way shape or form? From the hours of research I've been doing here is what I'm leaning towards. Is this about the best advice?

- I'll get a HDMI splitter to bypass HDCP on PS3
- I'll buy a Elgato HD60 X
- I'll use PS5's inherent gameplay capture for footage I need on there.

Is this about right? Has anyone else gone through this and made mistakes at the start that you can help me avoid?

This whole year with every upload i do, each video performs worse and worse. I haven't had a single successful video this year.

I believe the niche im in is to over saturated(trophy hunting) and i want to branch off and try something new (still gaming)

Its like my audience doesn't see my uploads anymore.

My newest video is performing very poorly so im thinking maybe i can just delete it and upload it again on a new channel.

Has anyone experienced this and decided to make a new channel and find success?
