**Evil's Box to Stream Exclusively on Twitch**

As I sit down to write this article, I want to share with my audience why I've decided to stream exclusively on Twitch from now on. It's been an experiment that's led me to realize what works and what doesn't for me, and I'm excited to move forward.

I started streaming on YouTube back in the day, when I was still in university. I wasn't playing a game; instead, I was streaming my homework live. It was a unique experience, to say the least, but it worked out surprisingly well. My audience appreciated the authenticity of streaming their daily lives, and it helped me build a loyal following. However, as time went on, I realized that YouTube just wasn't designed for this type of content.

While YouTube has improved its discovery features over the years, live streams are still not as easily discoverable as they could be. Unlike Twitch, where you have instant discoverability regardless of what game you're playing, YouTube's search algorithm often leaves live streams behind. It's a design choice that I've come to accept, but it hasn't been ideal for my streaming needs.

On the other hand, Twitch has been a dream come true for me as a streamer. The platform offers instant discoverability, which means that new viewers can stumble upon your channel at any time. This is especially important for creators like myself who are still building their audience. With Twitch, I've been able to connect with my viewers on a more personal level, and it's helped me grow as a streamer.

So, what does this mean for Evil's Box? As of now, you can find me streaming exclusively on Twitch. My channel is twitch.tv/evilsbox, and I'd love for you to follow along and join the conversation. I've got some exciting plans in store, including smoother visuals, follower alerts, and a better overlay system.

I'm also planning to create a playlist of music that I have the rights to stream, which will add an extra layer of enjoyment to my streams. And, as always, I'll be working on building a community that's supportive and fun.

Of course, there are some technical details that I want to share with you all. You might know about the DVR feature on Twitch, which allows you to automatically record your stream for up to four hours. Unfortunately, this feature is only available during live streams, and it doesn't give you control over what gets recorded. This means that if I'm streaming a long session like the Summer Showdown, there will be parts of it that don't get recorded.

In smaller stream situations, it's no problem to hit record in OBS and upload the footage later. However, when it comes to longer streams like the one I did recently, this feature is a bit of a letdown. I ended up relying on manual recording, which can be time-consuming and tedious.

On the other hand, having the DVR feature would have been incredibly useful for me, especially during longer streams. It's a trade-off that I've had to make, but one that I'm willing to make in order to focus on building my Twitch channel.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me on this journey so far. Your energy and enthusiasm are what keep me going, even when things get tough. And speaking of which, I have some exciting news: we hit our goal on the Summer Showdown stream! It was an incredible experience, and I'm grateful to all my viewers for their support.

If you want to see more about that epic stream, be sure to check out my latest vlog on my Vlog Channel. And if you're interested in supporting me further, consider following me on social media or contributing to our Patreon campaign.

Thank you again for watching, and I'll catch you all in the next video!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone my name is adam or eposvox and welcome to a kind of weird candid video after the well actually a lot during the summer showdown 3 stream that i did this past weekend which was a 36 hour long live stream session uh brought on by legend zero nation and lagundo and i didn't actually stream for the 36 hours but he's streamed for 36 hours straight i did about 30. i've decided that i'm probably not going to be streaming via youtube any longer now i've actually in the past probably multiple times played with this idea and bounced back and forth between should i do youtube or should i do twitch and yada yada however this was kind of the final straw i guess for me we had we had two separate streams going um his was the main one the main charity stream for extra life that we were running but mine was a side one that we were going to do you know to just keep drawing attention to it and i'm just going to he was doing it on twitch so i was going to do it on youtube to help pull appeal from my rather large subscriber base and anybody happening to view my various videos through the use of what was supposed to be the automatic in video advertisements and channel advertisements saying hey i'm streaming as well as the subscription box and i thought that would be a pretty good balance however none of those features seem to work appropriately now initially it told me uh well here i'm going to cover my what i thought was going to happen versus what did happen and then my kind of expanded thoughts on the process so setting up a stream in youtube is fairly not at all straightforward actually you go through you create a live event you schedule it out it's actually pretty difficult to just jump on the fly and stream which is another thing i love about twitch is you can just jump on and stream whenever and however you want with setting pretty much nothing up other than telling obs or dx or xsplit or wirecast to point to your twitch channel you have to set it up you have to schedule it you have to choose what bitrate you think you'll be streaming at and then get a huge api string and put that into your streaming platform in my case obs and then tell set up your bitrates and things like that then you give it a title description tags and a thumbnail which you cannot update once your stream starts so i just had to come up with what information i had at the time of setting it up which was the day before and hope that was enough um and you also can't put links in the comments even if you're the stream owner so that really sucks and then you're given the option to tell it to automatically promote your stream via the use of their in-video advertising or just basically expanded video annotations feature as well as make that the channel advertisement on your channel basically replace your trailer and in video advertisements temporarily to say that hey i'm streaming throughout the duration of your stream now originally it told me it could not do the in video advertisements as i already had a video set to do so so i removed the video and then re-enabled that feature told it to do so on the channel as well and throughout the couple times that i switched computers and logged in in a different account and checked my channel that didn't seem to be working in most cases the channel trailer did show up however very few people are probably going to come across that trailer in a small two-day window but the in-video advertisements did not work at all obviously that doesn't work if you have annotations off as that is a video annotation however with annotations on i simply just no longer had a video annotation there because i took off the ins and video advertisement that i originally had promoting my patreon campaign video well that girl's probably half of the traffic that i was looking forward to for the stream again reason i was doing it on youtube i have about 12 000 subscribers i get tons of views every day on various videos from search results surely someone would notice i was streaming however i'm almost 99 sure none of my regular subscribers actually knew i was streaming at all in fact i actually questioned whether or not the stream showed up at all in sub boxes because people who normally watch my streams who were you know who are subscribers to the channel never showed up i checked a couple channels of my own that were subscribed to the channel and i never saw a subscription box thing saying hey you're streaming and even if you and another issue with that is even if it does show up it doesn't actually like you know it's going to show up as a regular video so if other people upload videos past then the stream that could still be going on is completely buried i i checked against that though on when i was checking sub boxes and they still they never showed up so why exactly was i streaming on youtube well for pretty much no reason now i did somehow get random people who frankly i've never seen comment on my videos ever before and so i'm not sure if they were subscribers or not come across the stream and chat for a little bit but the chat feels so delayed like every once in a while like it'll be instant and i can have an instantaneous conversation but then i will you know look away for a second and look back and there will be a comment left on the stream if someone like saying hi or whatever just seeing if i'm interacting with the stream that was left like 10 minutes ago that just now showed up for me and by the time i've actually seen it and responded to it they've already left the stream because they didn't get the response that they were wanting this no this doesn't happen on twitch for me on twitch you know it's a live im chat and while there is a about minute or half a minute or a minute and a half stream delay you can still usually see the comment and respond to it instantly so as the stream updates your response is there now my experiences on twitch have honestly been quite the opposite its instance is set up all i gotta do is put in my twitch name and even if i don't bother changing the game or the title it'll automatically start streaming to twitch i don't have to select ingestion settings or give a thumbnail or description although the descriptions can be useful or i don't and i don't have to like i don't know i don't there there's no work involved once your stream key is set to begin with all you gotta do is just hit stream and you're streaming and it has a pretty good chat system now every once in a while the chat will go down or like mobot or nightbot will go down but when the chat is working perfectly which it normally is it works great and i have a lot more control over you know controlling spam and moderating comments and i can allow links in the chat or i can make it where only certain people can post links in the chat and pretty much no matter what i'm streaming literally the start to one of my channels way back in the day which kind of kick-started me actually streaming or you know posting to youtube was from me streaming my homework on twitch literally i wasn't playing a game i was actually at my university and streaming my homework that i've never not streamed on twitch and not gotten viewers like i always get somebody coming by discovery on youtube for streams is kind of not there because it's not made for it you have no option to search live streams live streams are much less likely to come come up in search results due to the fact that you're not gonna have good seo and it's probably ongoing so it's not gonna show up as a pre-existing video or anything and it just isn't a great you know it just doesn't work out whereas on twitch you have instant discoverability pretty much no matter what you're playing so i would just like to let everybody know that moving forward i will be streaming exclusively to twitch as far as i'm concerned sure i could go try out hitbox or this or that but frankly i don't want to try to move my audiences back and forth across platforms especially given my trouble trying to direct my audience to a stream platform so if you don't know what my twitch is my twitch would be twitch.tv slash evil's box go ahead and give it a follow i have learned a lot from the summer showdown stream as far as from lagundo's streaming setup he has a really smooth streaming setup going most of my streams will probably be at 60 frames per second if not a crystal smooth 30p they do look really good i don't have the best upload speeds but from what i could tell of the summer showdown stream i can actually make it look really good for most games i'm gonna have follower alerts set up i'm gonna get streaming text for when i'm playing music i'm gonna work on building a playlist of music that i have rights to stream and getting you know the scrolling text for that a good overlay i've got plenty of good webcams to set up i can set up a really good stream i've just never had much inspiration to but i'm gonna get back into it more i think obviously i'm heading back into my last couple semesters of school so i may be busy for a while i can certainly guarantee when i'm living on my own within the next year or so i will be streaming quite a lot more but i do think i'm gonna pick up streaming more soon and that's where i'll be at i'll be at twitch.tv slash evil's box so i just wanted to kind of share my experience of streaming with youtube because i keep trying and trying to give it a try like i feel like it's going to be this great thing and it always disappoints me and i'm done getting disappointed one last side thing i'm meant to mention and i forgot was the dvr you can set it to automatically record your stream but only for four hours and you do not get to choose which you know four hours you get for that and so unfortunately okay sorry and unfortunately it's just the last four hours and so like for the summer showdown stream all it had was about an hour of my be right back screen in the last couple hours of streaming boxcraft and so anytime i wasn't recording in obs i i don't have footage of and on twitch that's not a problem you do have to go in and manually highlight everything and things like that but and that's a pain now but that's a lot better option than just straight up losing it and yes in smaller stream situations it's no problem to just hit record in obs and have a copy recorded to your hard drive and have that to upload but in the case of a 36 hour live stream not so much i did record the important parts and things i specifically wanted to upload but i would have liked to be able to archive and upload the entire stream and i am now unable to do that anyway guys hope you enjoyed the video i just wanted to keep you updated thank you for watching thank you for your support on the stream we did hit our goal it was very exciting i did make a vlog about my vlog channel about it if you would like to watch that and otherwise i'll see you in the next video thanks for watching epos and chew let's play together if you enjoyed the video consider clicking on the screen to contribute to

drive and have that to upload but in the case of a 36 hour live stream not so much i did record the important parts and things i specifically wanted to upload but i would have liked to be able to archive and upload the entire stream and i am now unable to do that anyway guys hope you enjoyed the video i just wanted to keep you updated thank you for watching thank you for your support on the stream we did hit our goal it was very exciting i did make a vlog about my vlog channel about it if you would like to watch that and otherwise i'll see you in the next video thanks for watching epos
