STREAMING IDEAS: STREAM FORMATS AND HOW TO USE THEM.

It's finally time for you to become an honorary member of the Streamer Coalition. You've read through our instructions on tools, trends, and creating personal resources in great detail, but you're still having trouble figuring out how to organize your stream.

Each year, there are an increasing number of options to choose from. Streaming, which was once restricted to gamers only, is today practiced by a wide range of creative people across many other professions. Many of the well-known streamers got self-made after investing a lot of time and effort into their favored businesses, even though the term "talent" is scarcely accurate. You should be careful in how you make the content for your stream if you want to be at the top someday.

GAMING: ONE GAME STREAMER.

So let's start with one of the most prominent examples. This is how a lot of well-known broadcasters like Ninja, xQc, and shroud got their start. As the name implies, the player surrounds himself with other players while focusing almost entirely on one project. A substantial percentage of these representatives are tough competitors—current or former Esports players or members of the elite ranks. They watch these streams to see the best gameplay; they are not required to have attractive smiles. Consider LVNDMARK, for example, who for many years has only ever streamed Escape from Tarkov for ten hours per day. He hardly ever even initiates dialogue with the thousands of internet viewers who tune in to each stream. How so? Because it's entertaining to watch him annihilate his game foes.

Depending on whether your rating is higher or lower, the requirements may vary (for instance, diamond in Valorant or LE in CS:GO). Your feed ought to be entertaining in some way. You must, obviously, create content. You must offer the audience substitute content if Esports content cannot be provided. To make your material more distinctive, consider working with others, getting advice and using tactics, or maybe just channeling your inner Mr. Bean. It's unlikely that playing with a serious face on will be successful.

It would be foolish to give up even if the rating was lower than the ones mentioned above. Streaming platforms are rife with instances of quite famous streamers who have amassed decent fan bases but have never achieved top ranks.

Consider the League of Legends streamer KayPea, who has been doing it for a while. Her gaming skill ranges from Gold to Platinum rankings, but she still draws a sizable following. What is her secret you may ask? Achieving success requires passion, devoted commitment, and enthusiasm.

The main drawback of this strategy is that changes to the project can never be made without suffering losses. A certain audience section could be drawn to just one game, and they won't stick around for another one.

A major benefit would be if you:

·         You understand game mechanics from A to Z;

·         you are prepared to lend a helping hand by offering some guidance to your audience;

·         you are familiar with the gaming community, memes, and the game's inner workings itself.

FLEXIBLE PLAYER

A wonderful choice for individuals who are certain they love games but are unsure exactly which ones. You have more freedom and nearly unlimited options with this streaming format. For instance, succeed in games of the same genre, such as shooters, concentrate on a particular mode, or start evaluating new goods.

A flexible streamer needs to be sophisticated enough to put on a show, if necessary. The audience will come to see you play the game rather than watch someone else do it. Do you like yelling and cracking jokes? Excellent. Do you have a friendly atmosphere and are you constantly willing to talk about life in detail? Amazing. It doesn't matter what you're good at or what you're interested in; the most essential thing is to be competent in at least one topic. Lirik is a player who can make any game enjoyable to watch, so keep that in mind.

If you're just getting started, avoid picking projects at random and instead try to decide on a path to follow and stick with it. Look at what's trending right now and what subscribers to your streaming service are watching.

Another major benefit would be if you:

·         You are educated about the games in the chosen field;

·         you keep up with the most recent events and news in the gaming industry.;

·         you are interested in networking with other streams and collaborating on projects with them.

JUST CHATTING

There are various subcategories of streams in the "Just Chatting" category, but they all require a streamer to have excellent communication skills, the ability to improvise, as well as a broad outlook. Similar to the content in the previous category, although instead of gameplay, this time the workspace is the entire universe. To briefly summarize, these streams can be categorized into three basic formats, which are frequently combined based on the streamer's preferences.

INTERACTION WITH WEB CONTENT

The streamer serves as both a media conduit and a sort of educational bridge for the viewers in this case. They frequently watch anime, TV shows, movies, and videos from well-known websites on a range of subjects on these types of streams. They might also browse social media platforms like Reddit and read the most recent news. Since the host is not required to provide new material and the streaming is in the form of reactions, this is the most straightforward and generous technique for multiple hours of streams. For the viewer, this resembles hanging out with friends.

INTERACTION WITH THE AUDIENCE

Some streams that permit viewer involvement fall under it. The stream is now designed like a conversation and mostly focuses on the dialogue. The streamer can share stories, engage in debates, and respond to chat questions. He can also create tests, tier lists, and minigames using the dialogue to come up with content where his audience may impact him. See how long folks can chat on the webcam by checking bratiki94's feed.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS

As indicated by the name, the streamer here acts as a coordinator. The stream is used to create a show, then after inviting spectators (friends, celebrities from the media, and fellow gamers). It might be anything, such as listening to a podcast, participating in an interview, playing games with friends, organizing your own tournaments, or—especially well-liked—simply playing games like Mafia. KaiCenat routinely participates in such broadcasts with friends or other streamers; they converse, prepare meals, and conduct other commonplace activities.

The apex of this subgenre is the "stream hut," where streamers cluster in one location and usually do whatever they please. The duration of such an episode could range from one evening to several days or even weeks.

With all these streams, it is almost impossible to begin your career; most people join it afterwards. If you want people to watch your "show" and if you want it to be at least marginally entertaining to someone, your name needs to have some weight in the streamer community. Such streams require both sound social skills and properly configured equipment.

IRL STREAMS

The format "In real life" is used to describe everything that happens once the streamer leaves his den. even if it's simply filmed outdoors or in the back yard. Usually, mobile devices are used to run these streams. It doesn't have to be extraordinary like traveling to another country; most viewers would be intrigued in going to the next coffee shop. You have the world at your disposal; you can go on joint shopping trips, dog walks, workouts at the gym, or visits to exhibitions (where video shooting is allowed!). Fasoollka, for instance, frequently streams outside while either snowboarding or simply wandering and strolling.

 CREATIVE CONTENT

The right of those who are extraordinarily talented to stand out. Such streams typically contain a low amount of chat interaction and serve as a demonstration of the streamer's abilities. The streamer is skilled in programming, crocheting, sculpture, singing, playing musical instruments, drawing, and 3D modeling. In general, they use every opportunity to showcase their creativity.

COWORKING STREAMS

A trend that emerged when individuals tired of solitude realized how much they missed social These broadcasts resemble a university library in some ways because of their calm, creative ambiance.

What is the purpose? The streamer begins the stream while continuously working on a project for work or their schoolwork. Additionally, the audience is also acting in the same manner at the same time. Despite how strange it may seem, this sort of behavior actually increases productivity and motivates the viewer to finish tasks at work. The majority of streamers who collaborate on projects don't talk much, and many even set a timer for when they'll take a break and chat.

Almost any activity can be streamed in this format, from joint sports training to joint maintenance. Additionally, a streamer of this type and a viewer can even share a bed while they are both behind their own monitors.

STREAM AUCTION

Similar strategies have been employed by streaming platforms for a very long time. In this case, the streamer sets the issue and the ground rules. He might compile a list of games that will be offered in exchange for a donation or a subscription, for example. Any object, including Just Dance CDs, the number of pushups, and a sign on the leg, can be put up for auction.

This group contains the infamous inflatable pools, which are a fantastic example of how profitable communication can be. In this scenario, almost everything is monetized. The streamer compiles a list of tasks and their expenses, then carries them out after receiving the required number of donations or membership fees.

ONE-TIME ACTION

When the streamer and his viewers request brand new experiences, the stream's host must take precaution. While some of these ideas are highly original and fascinating, others have serious drawbacks. Some of the more well-known examples are as follows:

·         Marathon: a broadcast lasting 24 hours or longer. Although it is used for clout, its true use is highly contested. It is also quite harmful to your health;

·         paid marathon: a stream that lengthens with subscription or donation;

·         charity: streams aimed at raising money for charity;

·         alcohol stream: endless entertainment that the streamer recalls with terror after watching numerous embarrassing videos and memes with his involvement.

You don't have to be as charismatic as Tyler1 to be a great streamer. Diverse audience members have different tastes; some love it to be obnoxious and noisy, while others prefer it to be tranquil and cozy. Think about your advantages and what you can share with the public. Who says you can't try something else if the initial attempt doesn't work? Keep on moving forwards!
