Here is my Twitch vertical streaming layout thought process
- Gameplay above webcam (less eye travel between my face and gameplay)
- Focus less on the Twitch experience and more on the Social media clip usage
- No important info in the red zones
- Captions central or on person

My biggest pet peeve is when someone gives advice about audio, AND IT'S WRONG ahh
With a degree in Post Production (editing) and 10 years working in the industry for tv, my advice is...
Audio Mixer OBS:
Voice: -5db (THE RED ZONE IS GOOD, never get to 0)
Game: between -20db & -15db (Yellow)
Music: between -45db & -35db (Low Green)
People saying never to put audio in the red zone in OBS are flat out wrong. You want to avoid distortion, which is when it peaks at 0 and above, but your voice should be louder than the game.
Hope this helps!

Big YouTube Update!
Looks like the Dual stream feature is pushing out to a massive amount of channels today. Make sure when you set up your next stream you enable this "Dual Stream" button.
As of now you can't control the vertical version, it does however push the stream into the shorts feed and YouTube will be making an update to allow you to connect a stream key to the vertical layout as well.

This is how to structure your videos👇🏼
_______________________________________________
🧲 1. HOOK → "What the hell is happening?"
The hook is a 'psychological' trigger that basically forces the viewer to stop scrolling and focus on the video.
Think of MrBeast's hook:
"I put 100 people in a circle and the last one to leave wins $500,000"
It works because:
– There's a massive prize (stakes)
– There's a clear visual concept (people in a circle)
– There's implied pain, drama, time, and tension (and all in one sentence lol)
The viewer instantly thinks:
→ "How long will this go?"
→ "What would I do in that situation?"
→ "Is someone going to cheat?"
This hook creates 3+ (subconscious) questions within a few seconds, and answers none of them (which is what you want!)
_______________________________________________
🔥 2. TENSION → "WTF is going to happen next??"
Tension is basically where the video 'lives'. But very important: if you don’t evolve it, the video dies.
And this is where most (faceless) creators fail: their hook is pretty decent… but then they flatline.
MrBeast keeps tension alive by adding layers of conflict, discomfort, and uncertainty every ~30–60 seconds.
Examples in the "100 people in a circle" video (could be):
– Someone says they've hit their breaking point
– A new rule gets added
– A fight breaks out
– Two friends turn on each other
– MrBeast drops a surprise twist / cash offer to leave
And the viewer is locked in, just waiting for the next plot twist
But tension isn not just one event, it is basically a stack of 'emotional peaks' that delay resolution (the payoff).
And your job is to keep the viewer asking:
"What's next?"
_______________________________________________
🎯 3. PAYOFF → "Was it worth the wait?"
The payoff is not "the ending".
But it is the moment where everything clicks and the viewer feels satisfied ('viewer satisfaction').
You can basically see it as a reward that justifies the investment of their attention/time.
For MrBeast, that might look like:
– A heartfelt breakdown from the winner
– A final twist (e.g., "I'm giving away another $500K")
So if the hook GRABS attention…
And the tension HOLDS it…
The payoff reframes everything they just watched.
And without a good payoff, the video basically feels hollow.
It doesn't matter how good the intro was, people leave with "meh", because there was a constant 'build-up' for... nothing
But when the payoff hits you get high retention, comments, shares… and most importantly: your viewers leaves satisfied.
That is why viewer satisfaction is SO important!
But that, ladies and gentlemen, is a story for another day.

If you’ve never seen vertical live stream on youtube here’s how you find them!
On your youtube mobile app go to the shorts feed > then on any short tap the screen > then tap the live button. This will put you in a feed of strictly vertical streams. Scroll and enjoy.
As you watch more streams you will start seeing them pop up periodically while you scroll the shorts feed.
Vertical streams on desktop can only be found via search or the creator’s channel page.

I don't know which creator needs to hear this, but it's never too late...
I was just having a convo with another creator about where we are, and how we all get wrapped up in the noise, or the chase in things. I can tell you as someone who started off on cod sniping videos 15 years ago, grew into graphic design, then photo and video shit, to setup videos, then streaming, skits and helping many creators grow and monetize their brands, you can 100% try some shit out.
Lately I have been so locked in one of the easiest routines in years and have found genuine joy from it. I go live, play games with homies, take a few clips from stream, upload them and then I am off. I get time to focus on my health and time with my family. A year ago, with the pressure I put on myself to be a specific someone, I would have never thought I would have such a fun dope rhythm going right now.
Step out of your comfort zone from time to time and stop overcomplicating shit. You NEVER know the opportunities on the other side🫡

YOUTUBE SHORTS BLITZ STRATEGY BREAKDOWN: 👇🏾👇🏾
A small YouTuber said I can share this if keep their channel name anonymous…
They embraced my SHORTS blitz strategy and in one month got a level of views and subscribers it more or less took them all of this year to accumulate otherwise…
In roughly 2 weeks…
I’m getting multiple DMs and screenshots from creators about their results (keep sending me these!).
And the more creator willing to share this openly, the more people can succeed.
This is also another gaming channel but I’ve been seeing this work for vloggers, tech channels, reaction channels, boy cam footage channels, and commentary… among others.
How much to upload:
1-3 Shorts Per Day - Education/Info
3-5 or 5-8 - Entertainment/ Gaming
5-8 or 8-12 - Lifestyle/Vlogging
How far apart
35 minutes to an hour apart.
When to upload:
Start early in the day.
How long to maintain:
90 days, 6 months or indefinitely before ramping up or down…
How much effort -
No more than 10-15 minutes of editing per 1 minute of footage.
You all overestimate the quality and value associated with editing style.
Personality, performance and good ideas as well as authenticity matter more.
If people want perfect beautiful editing they will watch a $100M tv show or movie…
PERFECT AUDIO matters more/most
How can we make that much content?
Either intentionally batch record clips in bulk all at once. (Tips, hacks, facts)
Shoot authentic segments while producing a high effort video that may or may not even work out…(vlogging, storytelling, spectacle)
Or intentionally live steam to clip farm daily. (Gaming, reaction, commentary, info dumps)
To reduce editing load or clipping use @OpusClip
Also this helps with another aspect…
REPURPOSING.
🎬 Repurposing & Clipping (OpusClip) geni.us/getopusclip
Facebook pays up to $1000 if a reel gets 1M views, Instagram pays decent but you can bet brand deals too, you can upload to 2 TikTok accounts…
And with YouTube shorts the RPMs are increasing and uploading this many Shorts exceeds long form earnings quickly in bulk… especially for evergreen shorts…
This is the other key.
How Do I Make Shorts Grow My Long Form?
SHORTS don’t exist to grow long form, but we did crack that but the strategy is aggressive and MOST of you won’t like it…
You point 50-200 Shorts at just ONE long form video.
Don’t take “related video” literally.
We have my students only point their Shorts to a long form for 1 of 3 reasons:
1) The video is sponsored. If you’re pointing dozens or hundreds of shorts at a sponsored video, it gets more views, you get more sponsors, you make more money.
2) The video it points at, is a video that does well selling your merch, your product, your course or your services for your business.
We don’t give a crap ton of free traffic to videos that make pennies per view when we can make &10-$1000 per sale … think smarter…
3) If we do care about views and subscriber growth, we point it to just one video (at a time) that is already a PROVEN PERFORMER…
Meaning we don’t care about the latest upload, we point the shorts all to a video that does EXTREMELY well with FIRST TIME new viewers and turns them into subscribers at a high rate.
These are the best videos that give us the best outcome if they get more views. It’s not about a video you wish had more views because you like it more and want to feel validated.
If you embrace the Shorts Blitz strategy please share the rules with me! And if possible let me make the results public to encourage more creators!

Breaking: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will allow you to share weapon builds directly with other players in-game.
You will also be able to share a Build Code online that lets anyone put the code in in-game and instantly get that specific weapon build.

Lmao yall still b*tching about emote spamming acting like it puts some type of hinderance on your chat interaction.. read your chat.. how is it not supportive for people to help up your ccv/unique chatter interactions per hour? Id love for you to explain how it is negative without your bullsh*t excuse of that they're trying to promo or that they dont talk.. THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING.. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY OWE YOU A CONVERSATION.. what they're doing is already supportive of your goals in and of itself.. and many of those that spam emotes also spam likes and comments under my content on other platforms.. maybe they dont support you further because your content is bland and non entertaining

PTSD doesn't make you weak, it shows the STRENGTH you have to show up every day. Today, and every day, we recognize that strength.
You are not alone, we have your six.
