Introduction: Why is it Important to Upload Videos to Steam
I’ve gotten a few tweets and messages asking for help, as well as being asked in some streams what I thought about this. So here’s a post to help out a few people out.
How Do I Setup a Stream on Steam?
First of all, you need to make an account on steam (which is free to do so). Then you need to start streaming. It’s not hard at all. Once you’ve followed the steps needed and can successfully upload a video, congratulations! You are ready to go live on steam. There is no easier way for a streamer to get started without having to put in the effort and time it takes for an audience member of that level or higher. The level that the streamer is at has nothing to do with it! The streaming process itself is simple and it’s easier than using other services. If you are having trouble with the video uploading, take a look at this video.
How Do I Link YouTube Videos To My Stream?
I’d personally recommend you go in the settings of your steam profile and change the “_blank” setting to “ _newwindow ”. This allows you to link videos from other websites which usually include YouTube.

How Do I Link YouTube Videos To My Stream?
I’ve noticed a lot of my coworkers do this, and I’d like to start doing the same thing. Obviously you can use the “record” button on your desktop program for this, but I don’t want to spend hours recording video after video after video. Can others share their knowledge on how to make my channel more visually appealing?

What is the Best Software for Streaming on Twitch & YouTube?
I’m not going to go into any specific software here because that’s for another day. What I will say is that there are quite a few. You can also use software on your own PC to stream. On YouTube you can use a “YouTube live” setup where you can record your gameplay, make a video, then upload it directly to YouTube. This saves you having to upload your gameplay from different sources.
What is the Best Software for Streaming on Twitch & YouTube?
You can use a number of tools to stream your gameplay. These include services such as: Streamlabs OBS, Xsplit, Open Broadcaster Software (obs), Streamlabs OBS, XSplit, and Open Broadcaster Software (obs). You can use these free software apps or you can use them on your PC. The best software for streaming depends on your setup and the type of content you want to create for it.
For example, if you’re going to stream “Star Wars: The Old Republic” you may be better off using software that can give you three cards, or a big picture, so that viewers will be able to really take in the action. If you are mainly going to use voice chat it may not matter if your game looks like an HD version of “Star Wars: The Old Republic”. It’s probably better for your viewers if it looks like your computer is about to blow up.
Some software will automatically upload your gameplay to YouTube, or let you do it yourself. Others will generate your gameplay automatically. Some let you schedule the upload of your gameplay. If you have a good webcam and microphone, it’s best to use a “Twitch live” setup rather than using software on your PC.
Conclusion: We’ll Show You How To Get The Most Out Of Your Content and Videos With These Pro Tips
The way I see it, content is king. Well-made content will draw in viewers whilst bad-quality content may not. It’s also important to think about how you want to approach your channel. If you want viewers to support you on Patreon, then you might want to do what I do, and place Patreon links in the descriptions of videos. This can be risky, as they may not even like your channel and may unsubscribe. Content is also a powerful way to generate other income, as I’ll show later in the article.
Now, you might be thinking that YouTube ads haven’t been working for you. Well, let me ask: do you spend your time creating videos in order to gain more money? Or is it because you like making videos? In my opinion, if the latter is the case then it’s not nearly enough. You should be creating content because you love it. If someone else is making a living from your content, then that’s awesome and I wish them the best of luck – they deserve it! But if your videos are just something you do when you have nothing better to do, then you’re doing it wrong.
I consider myself a gamer and have been playing video games since the Commodore 64. However, I’d never had the motivation to create a video series around my gaming until recently. I found myself playing Fortnite a lot, so I thought it would be fun to talk about what the best builds for certain weapons and weapons in general. After I had created a series, I realised it was attracting a lot of views and I decided to invest my time in creating more content. Consequently, this led me to create other content related to gaming, such as reviews and vlogs.
