I was doing a test stream today to see if everything worked and the stream lasted around 15 mins. I go to check if it saved and it only saved 3 mins of my stream i am unsure of why that is. Can someone please help
download whole twitch stream
It seems like most streams I see are hours long, sometimes 3-5 hours. Do people actually watch these in one sitting, or just tune in for parts of it? I can only seem to watch for 20 minute tops before I get bored.
You can now embed your streams and VODs in an all-in-one iframe that lets your viewers watch video, chat, follow, and subscribe to your channel, all without leaving the embedded experience. While you can still use the standalone video and chat embed tools, the combined option is the only way to bring Twitch engagement and monetization to your own site.
Streamers are at the core of every community on Twitch. When new streamers want to go live for the first time and start sharing their passions with the world, they should be able to do so with our full support. From setting up your stream to building your community, we saw an opportunity to simplify things for streamers who are just getting started.
The channel points right now are just based on streaks and time spent in a chat. What would make it perfect is the ability to award your viewers or entire chat with an amount of points you choose as well. If it were possible to award points yourself in addition to the twitch integrated method of earning points it would be perfect.
For example:
-I could choose to award the whole chat 100 points each when we get raided.
-I could choose to award a specific viewer 50 points for telling the best joke.
Tonight I was in someone's stream for almost 2 hours and didn't receive any channel points. And I'm saving up for 1 mil channel points, so every little bit matters to me. This was an error on Twitch's part. And I understand that these things happen because, well, technology... but for real when something like this happens, it would be real nice if the streamer could make up for that error. Because it's not like Twitch needs to deal with this kind of stupid hassle. Give us the right to manage our points. Completely. It's not like it's affecting Twitch's bottom line. It should be able to be controlled by the streamer or the mods of that channel. Thank you!
If the streamer has a good set of mods, all they need to do is ask the mods to give out channel points as well. If the streamer doesn't want their mods to abuse this, this setting could be turned off in the Channel Points section of Creator Dashboard.
One might even go farther with this, and say any banned users in a streamer's channel should have all of their accumulated points be put into a separate pool for the streamer to then disperse to the rest of chat as they see fit.
As a streamer I have full control over the options and prices on how viewers can spend their channel points. It would be resonable that I also have control over how they are earned. It is currently impossible to manage the economy of channel points in the community, which is often an issue in setting costs considerting longtime and new viewers.
It would be amazing to get access to these points from the perspective of a Twitch Extension, too. So many of them run off bits but are largely unused because most viewers don't care if their $2 makes a toot noise happen on stream. I'd love to make a Twitch extension if I could utilize official channel points as the cost/reward system, but anything else just seems confusing for the user.
Also, just to piggyback on a lot of the great ideas listed in this feedback thread, the upper-limit of how many rewardable channel points exist could be tied to how often the streamer streams; a channel point bank of sorts. Not necessarily 1:1 with everyone else's point accumulation, but I could see this being nice just to prevent people's point systems from going out of whack, if that's a concern.
I would love to see this get added. as a relatively new affiliate myself I was disappointed to see that this was not a system already. Now i have to go out of my way and setup a custom points system with streamer.bot that somehow links back to channel points
I wanted to make a mini-game and allow members to "cash in" the points earned via that to the Twitch reward points... I suppose I'll have to scrap this :') Too bad I spent hours working on it before I realised this wasn't a thing haha. Should really be implemented, how is it we can't give channel points as streamers? Silly.
WHY ISN'T THIS ALREADY A THING :( Allow me to gift points, on the fly, live. I could make my own personalized games, verbal agreements or bets, ie: "streaming with a friend, post your bet in the chat to see who wins this challenge (which would be something I made up on the fly, live, just talking to my viewers). I shouldn't have to have a pre-made streamelements or streamlabs game to make my own random verbal agreements or bets during my stream. It would be SO much more engaging then having to go through the motions of people typing "! whatever the challenge is". Streamlabs is wayyyy ahead of the curve on this, and Twitch points have been around for 4 years now.

The first thing you will want to do is sign up for a free account over at Twitch.tv. You aren't required to have an account to watch or comment on streams, although you do get more features by signing up for one. In addition to creating your own videos, signing up for an account will allow you to message and interact with other users, follow streams, and more.
Once you have created your account, I recommend going to the Twitch settings, clicking on the Channel and Videos tab, and checking the "Automatically archive my broadcasts" box. This won't save old streams forever, however they will be stored on your channel for the next 14 days. You will also have the ability to export older broadcasts to YouTube and create video highlights that will be saved on your Twitch channel forever.
It's relatively easy to stream on the PlayStation 4. All you need is the console, a DualShock 4 controller, a game to play, a stable Internet connection, and a PlayStation 4 camera, which will allow others to see and hear you.
Streaming from a PC isn't nearly as easy as it is on the PS4 or Xbox One, but it's nothing you can't handle. You should know, however, that not every computer is capable of streaming, While the requirements change depending on the games you plan to stream, I recommend having at least 4GB of RAM, a high-end graphics card (GeForce or Radeon with support for DirectX 10.1) , and a powerful processor, such as a second generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7.
These specs will make it easy to stream popular games like Dota 2, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Titanfall, or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. As is the case with streaming on the PS4 and Xbox One, you will also want a camera and a stable Internet connection, in addition to a headset with a microphone.
There are a variety of programs available for broadcasting your gameplay, but I found the easiest way to stream is using a software called XSplit Gamecaster. Create an account on the XSplit website and download the Gamecaster software. Once it has been installed, launch the program, login into your XSplit account, and grant Gamecaster access to live stream to Twitch. This can be done by clicking on the "Open Authentication Window" box and signing into your Twitch account.
While the Gamecaster software is free and easy to use, it does have its flaws. The company charges a monthly fee for a premium license, which opens the door to more features. Without the license, your HD streams will include a watermark of the company's logo and your frame-per-second will be limited.
The hardest part about streaming isn't setting up the software, it's building an audience. No one wants to have a stream with no viewers. That's why I spoke to current game streamers about what new users could do to build an audience.
Most people aren't going to watch a streamer who plays an unpopular game. The people I spoke to recommended choosing new games or older ones with large followings. Dota 2 and League of Legends are both incredibly popular, as are first person shooters like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Titanfall, and Call of Duty. Other games to check out include Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Starcraft II, Day Z, FIFA, and Madden.
Whether it's skins for CS:GO, Riot Points on League of Legends, or an in-game item on World of Warcraft, people love free stuff. Giveaways are a great way to build an audience, but be sure to make it a requirement that those entering into your giveaway are also following your stream.
Consider the different genres of streaming. Twitch is home to more than just games (Although, trust us, there are plenty of those). From Dungeons and Dragons to cooking channels, there is a community for everything on Twitch. And we all know how important community is.
Formerly known as StreamLabs OBS, this custom version of OBS links up directly with StreamLabs and is great for creating custom layouts to easily manage your streams. Unfortunately, StreamLabs Desktop is only available for Windows.
Hardware is a big part of how to stream on Twitch. Many popular streamers on YouTube and Twitch use the highest-end equipment on the market, but there are plenty of simple, cost-effective options available.
Dedicated webcams are another great way of adding more dimension and personality to your streams. That said, even top-quality cameras are of little use without good lighting to accompany the footage, so try lighting your scene first, before making the decision to upgrade. Looking for suggestions? We made a video about it!
