What Information Can You Edit?
The "Edit Stream Info" section allows you to update several key pieces of information about your current or next stream. Keeping this information accurate helps viewers find your content and understand what your stream is about.
Here are some common fields you can edit:
- Title: This is the main headline viewers see. Make it engaging and descriptive!
- Category: Select the game, type of content (e.g., Just Chatting, Music, Art), or activity you are currently streaming. Choosing the correct category is vital for discoverability.
- Tags: Add relevant keywords that describe your stream (e.g., #funny, #chill, #competitive, #speedrun). You can select from a wide range of tags or create custom ones.
- Stream Language: Indicate the primary language spoken on your stream.
- Go Live Notification: Customize the message that is sent to your followers when you start streaming.
Practical Tip: You can edit your stream info before you go live to set everything up correctly from the start, or during your stream if you switch games or the focus of your content changes.
Keeping your stream information updated ensures that new viewers can easily find your stream through search and browsing, and existing followers know what to expect when they tune in.
