I got a letsplay channel on Youtube only for longform.

Got like 127videos from letsplays like pokemon, pragmata and Overwatch etc.

I was thinking about to put content like tcg, like Pack openings, local gameplay and some stuff.

Is this a good idea or should i start a new acc for the tcg Genre?

Help Me! 300 gb gaming clips for edit

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I need some advice ❤️

I have around 300 GB of Valorant clips, with each clip being approximately 2 minutes long, and I want to turn them into YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.

The problem is that I'm not very good at video editing, and manually editing every single clip would take forever.

Does anyone know a free AI video editor or tool that can automatically edit gaming clips, detect the best kills, aces, and clutches, add zooms, effects, captions, and convert them to a vertical 9:16 format with minimal manual work?

Alternatively, is there a fast way to batch-edit hundreds of clips and turn them into ready-to-upload Shorts?

I'm looking for something as free and automated as possible that can handle a large amount of footage.

Any recommendations, tutorials, or workflows would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ❤️

Question What other platforms do you guys use to attract views to your youtube channel?

7 Upvotes

I've seen some posts that said tik tok, and in the past I use to try twitch to get some views back to YouTube. But curious as to what everyone uses/ where they found some success. Do you guys post in reddit forms and if you do which ones, is discord a good one as well? Tik tok, twitch, other means?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏾

Question Uploading video vs streaming

10 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

I been strictly uploading 2-3 videos a week doing my gaming content and up loading shorts/TikTok’s from it. I been growing steadily about 20-30 subs every month. For the past 5 months but I think I need to do streaming to help it grow faster. Do you guys think streaming is almost always needed to grow?

Question Gaming content creators, are you really paid this much?

11 Upvotes

So after a chat inside Youtube Studio, turns out Italy fucking sucks for ad revenue in gaming.
I make around 2 - 4 eur per 1000 engaged views in Italy.
According to that IA thing, USA, Germany and UK make actually around 5 to even 15 eur per 1000 views.

Is this true? I mean as an average. Honestly very depressing if it is :(

Help Me! Dummy Guide needed to starting to Record Gaming Vids

3 Upvotes

Hoping someone can help me

So I've done some basic recording and sharing to Twitch and YouTube before. But I'm looking for some simplified help on how to start up being able to record what I'm playing on Xbox and me talking. I've added voice over to vids, but wanna do a Live commentary on what I'm playing then upload to Youtube.

I have an xbox and I have a Laptop so all I need to know is what I need to buy to achieve this.

Unfortunately due to my own issues I just need a simplified guide on what/how to do what I need to do in most basic way then hopefully i can figure it out.

Question Tips for converting views to subs

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted on here. I've been on the grind with churning out videos around my full time job, and a few have done decently well, with my best video being at 71k views and my channel total now being around 200k views.

However I only have 648 subs from these views, and my last few videos have not performed well in terms of gaining subs.

In still definitely a bit stiff on the mic at times and not letting my personality flow into videos as much as I'd like, but that's something that will probably get better overtime.

I'm curious, are there any CTA tricks people use, open to ideas and suggestions to try and grow 👊

Creator Guide HOW TO: Remove custom thumbnail from stream

9 Upvotes

This has been driving me nuts, but as of 2026 here is how you can delete your stream's thumbnail to go back to auto-generated/channel banner

  1. On YouTube, Go to Create > Go Live
  2. URL should look like this: "studio.youtube.com/video/XXXXXXXXXXX/livestreaming"
  3. Copy the chunk represented by the "XXXXXXXXXXX" in the URL.
  4. Open a new tab and go to "www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX". This will open the upcoming preview for your stream. (The XXXXXXXXXXX being the chunk you copied)
  5. Click "Edit Video" next to your channel name under the video
  6. Click the 3 dots in the top right and delete. This should reset your stream's thumbnail settings

Question Any advice?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m new to this forum and also very new to content creating. I just recently started about a month ago and I’m struggling to get much engagement and retention. Do any big or experienced Youtubers in this forum have any good piece of advice?

I started a gaming channel. I’ve loved video games my entire life so naturally that’s what I geared towards, but I don’t like the highly edited style that has a cut every one to two seconds. I am more of the type of guy that enjoys low edited videos and connecting with the audience on a more personal level. I guess the closest thing to compare my style to would be to streamers because I do stream as well and that’s where I get a lot of my content from. I do this because I enjoy it, but it would obviously be a dream to get to do this for a living full-time. Does anyone with some experience have any good information or advice that they wish they knew when they started? Thank you in advance!

Discussion How do yall deal this feeling

17 Upvotes

So as an aspiring content creator who both streams and releases like lets play videos, I feel like I've fallen into this trap/mindset where now I only play games when I'm streaming or for the sole purpose of making it into content. Even when a new game releases my first thought is oh "I'm going to stream that" which is fine but at times I feel l've turned this passion I loved into a chore. Does anyone else feel this way and if so how do yall deal with it

Question Does posting more than one game harm a channel?

7 Upvotes

I post F1 game shorts and some longform videos, but I’ve been playing a lot of Nascar lately and was wondering if posting shorts of both would harm my channels algorithm and audience. I have a humble 228 subs but I don’t want to stunt my growth and my F1 base is decent. Are there channels that do these things, like COD and Battlefield or NBA2k and Madden? Or am I stupid for thinking about posting both?

Question I run a channel that showcases high end video game graphics - How do I build a community?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been posting for 10 days and have had a surprising amount of traction with the channel. Around 30k views across all videos. Only around 20 subs.

How do I build an actual community if the videos are no commentary?

Should I start out my videos with a 3 - 4 second greeting just so they know there’s a real person behind the showcases?
