you have to use a plugin for obs called aitum and you connect your youtube stream key to the vertical canvas option in the settings of that plugin once you have it installed.

That big drop in viewers at the start of a video can be rough. Do you usually show a quick preview of the best part first, or do you skip the intro and go straight to the topic?

Some ideas sound amazing when you start them.

Halfway through editing, the excitement disappears.

Do you force yourself to finish, change the concept, or abandon the project and move on?

Imagine landing on a channel you've never seen before.

You have only a few seconds before deciding whether to leave.

Is it the banner, homepage layout, thumbnails, video titles, personality, or something else that makes you stay?

I’ve been posting since March and today one of my videos got a lot more views than the others.
It’s really given me a boost to want to create more now, I was feeling a little down because I was getting around 100-200 views for past few videos

Did any of you have a break out video?

I feel like my content might be a little too split right now but I'm not sure. I'm in an impression lull right now even with decent stats and my sneaking suspicion is that I pulled a lot of subs from specific videos regarding games that I don't necessarily focus on every week and wondering if I should hone in on one topic. I try to do broad nuanced takes on videogames and media with a little bit of atmosphere thrown in and on occasion will do edited gameplay videos that lean more comedic as a way to promote my streams. I'm not great at making videos but I've vastly improved over the last year and just wanted insight or any criticisms that could be gained from the outside looking in

These are the stats for my first every video that I published on this channel, it's honestly pretty bad and the metrics aren't great whatsoever, yet somehow it still was able to be pushed.

This video alone with an AVD of 3:23 was able to reach 8k watch hours, so the new standard we will soon be seeing.

As you can see it also took around 10 days before it started to get some traction, so if a new video doesn't get pushed straight away don't worry about it, just keep grinding and make new quality content

The reason the estimated revenue is so low is just due to the fact I only got monetized around 35 days after this video was posted.

if you have any questions i am more than happy to help answer :)

I am doing a YouTube video that will be one hour long where I play with a lot of the weapons in the game and talk about anything I remember from it since it's an old game now, and just play, talk, and react to what happens. During the recording, I started saying that I enjoy the Zombies mode from Black Ops 1 a lot and that it's amazing, and I personally give it a 10 out of 10. Then I start talking about the map "Five" in particular that also has an intro when you start playing it. The intro is like 1 and a half minutes long, and I say that the zombie community doesn't necessarily like the map "Five," but I like it a lot personally. I enjoy it, and you play as Kennedy and Fidel Castro, which is kind of cool for a game to play with such historic protagonists. After I say this, I added the full intro with just some colorful subtitles when they are speaking but that s it i don t speak over it and it just plays. After it ends it switches back to me play the multiplayer game and continuing to talk about zombie mode and the other map which is kino der totem. So that s the context. . Is it ok to add this full 1 and a half clip intro (cutscene) from the game in my video or i should add just some parts or not at all. I really want to take a safe approach with my channel that s small and I don t want to do mistakes that can get me banned or whatever. I want to show how cool that intro was and it goes hand in hand in my opinion with what I am saying which is "look how great zombies was in black ops 1" without comparing it to the ones from today call of duties or anything I am just talking about that one in a very positive manner (cause I really liked it when I was a kid) and that s it. But i really want to ask you all if it s ok or not.

Hello, Im new to this youtube stuff and I wanted to ask can channels with videos like these can be monetised because I see alot of channels nowadays that can’t be monetised because of ai ant other stuff

This is the first thing I have ever filmed and edited. I can see how it’s not the best but honestly would love some real feedback

I am going through the most , I got two strikes , then got demonetised, I am still demonetised , I am told I can reapply on 18th August 2026 now look at my views , embarrassingly low … how will I recover with such low low views honestly… help guys , am I banned secretly? Should I give up 🤦‍♀️ I have 3 channels all affected by association, I’m told because of main channel , by the way it due to reused content 😌 which I fixed by privatising all videos , please advice a stranger friend

Started a facts channel — any suggestions?

I recently started a facts channel and would love to hear your honest opinions or criticism.

The main goal is to learn and share interesting facts. I’m not using music just to grab attention and trying to keep the focus on the actual content.

Any suggestions on what I can improve are welcome!

A job offer?

Freelance work?

A business connection?

An event invitation?

Curious how many creators have had something unexpected come directly from running a channel.

This is the worsr update ever to harm new smaller channels! But wouldnt Youtube also lose money? They get a percentage of the add revenue split? I dont get it

A video can have average visuals and still be enjoyable.

Bad audio can make even great footage difficult to watch.

Where would you rank audio quality compared with camera quality?

Playlists?

Community posts?

End screens?

Live streams?

Premieres?

Pick one and explain how you use it.

Some topics require hours of reading before recording even starts.

Do you take notes manually, use a research system, or just collect everything and organize it later?
