Summary

Virtute tells the story of how he started streaming from his PlayStation 4. Broadcasts that he himself now labels as not good.

But he kept at it and began thinking about ways to improve his stream.

We get into his thought process behind the changes he made and how he keeps changing.

We also talk about how you can prepare something to talk about on stream so that you're not just sitting in silence waiting for viewers to start a conversation.

Highlights

Virtute started streaming from his PlayStation 4 using the built-in streaming app and no camera.

Eventually he graduated to a full streaming setup on a PC with a webcam.

He watched Ninja and got inspired by him and other people like Markiplier and PewDiePie, so he changed his formula and started thinking a bit more consciously about how his streams where structured and which games to play.

Through experimentation and networking with other streamers he has come up with his own unique style.

Networking and doing off-stream work takes up a lot of time.

The many skills needed for streaming also means an opportunity to keep learning.

Streamers are quite accessible and friendly.
