WoT youtube ?

Ectar: Ok this was written for our Community Contributors and is mainly aimed at Youtube but a lot of it still applies..   I c wat u did thar! Spend some time on making your page/site look pretty. The more professional your channel looks, the more people will think they're in for a good show and think you're taking things seriously. Get a good "offline" image and set a background. This small bit of work can make the difference to people hanging around to see what's up, and skipping on to the next generic and bland channel.   Plan streams, theme streams, and talk to your audience! Watching/listening to someone sit in silence for long period of times quickly becomes boring. Explain to your viewers what you're doing, even if it's just 2 of your friends watching get the practice in and be comfortable talking. Walk through your actions, what you're planning to do and how you see the battle going. If you have music playing (recommended) make sure it's not too loud and for bonus awesome points, have an overlay to show what tune/band is playing (players always ask this). Alternatively if you're playing from a set list, have a link somewhere on your page where players can get that list.
Think about what you want to show in your streams. Are you grinding a specific tier or nation? Are you doing platoon or solo? Do you want to do an interactive guide on a tank showing players how to use it on multiple maps? Be entertaining! I'm not saying to act like an idiot with silly sound effects but you want to give players a reason to stick around and come back each week/day.   Playing with WG Occasionally we get asked to stream with people. We have no problems doing this and love playing with you guys but sometimes We're really swamped with work. Please can you let us know roughly at least a week in advance if you want any of us to join in. It then helps us plan other work we may have around it and it also helps us to then give you guys appropriate coverage and promotion.   Respect other players and streamers Please please try to keep your comments respectful to other players and other streamers. I know matches can be frustrating but when you're doing a steam with hundreds of viewers and you highlight someone and say "look at this asshole" or something similar, it can prompt a viewer into sending that player a nasty message. That may seem like quite an outlandish claim but please remember people watch you because they like you, which means they'll jump to your defense and sometimes this defense is misguided. We're not going to, and don't want to censor streams and video's but if you're going to constantly insult other players all the time, it would be hard to support or promote you.   Be prepared for common questions. What country are you from? When do you stream? What mods are you using? What's your favorite tank? Do you play with people in chat? Will you play xxxx tank? This list isn't comprehensive and it's not a "do this and succeed". I'm sure people who stream will have additional input to help out. Hope what I can provide is helpful. Another point i'd always recommend is greet people joining the stream and let them know you're aware of them coming to see you. It's little things like that which bring viewers back when you're growing an audience. When you start getting more people watching you, veteran viewers will offer to help moderate the chat. (I recommend disabling links in chat)   Again a lot of this is more aimed at livestreamers but some of it can also apply to Youtube channels.
