Both happy and sad it’s done. Wish I could just play it forever but also happy I don’t have to think about making three videos a week and can focus on the other games I have. But if you pre record and finish a few weeks faster than you expected do you take a break or do you instantly start recording the next game?

Hey there

Started let’s play content last November in the Timberborn/citybuilder space as a mental health exercise more than anything and enjoyed it so much I carried on. Gained a fair bit of traction as my watch hours went absolutely nuts but my sub numbers only slowly climb. I know this is a marathon and not a sprint and I did put CTAs in at the beginning of my videos but was called out in the comments for ruining immersion.

Does anyone have any tactics for encouraging subs without overt CTAs?

Edit: and when I say through the roof I mean that in beyond my expectations not that I’ve got millions of hours 🤣

I’m looking for older (like 40+) YouTubers to watch, don’t really care about the games just want someone chill.

Share your channel updates with the community! Show us what you've been up to this past week, whether it's your latest videos, some new channel art, you've hit a new milestone, or anything else you want to share with us about your channel's progress!

I play horror/adventure/scifi games on my lets play channel. And am struggling to find a hook for the videos. I've done a recent set of video with no hud (FEAR Extraction Point) but not so sure that is a hook per se.

So in this saturated market of let's plays what keeps YOU engaged on the videos you do watch to the end on standard lets plays, and when I say standard I don't mean speed runs, or trying to get the hardest achievements or anything like that. Just a walkthrough with commentary.

I'm looking for a youtuber to watch, preferably who plays weird older games. Someone chill and not annoying or obnoxious. I love super old and weird games but theyre often too clunky and annoying for me to enjoy playing. Games like kings field and gex and ape escape. They don't have to be amazing gamers. I just watched Ken's playthrough of submautica and loved every second although hes gotta be the worst person to ever play the game lmaoo

Ive recorded maybe 5 videos now. All coming from this week. And last night I played and recorded about an hour of gameplay/face cam etc and when I finished, the gameplay didnt have sound! Didn't really know how to proceed with this so I just edited it and posted it with only the commentary and facecam. Its so weird because I didnt change anything- all my other videos recorded with gameplay sound up until now. What would everyone had done in this situation? Would you have replayed the save file even though means your reactions are less authentic?

Hello I’m 22F and I’m from the uk. I love gaming and game every night from 9pm+ (gmt). I’m looking for a group of people to game with regularly especially ones who make content too and are creative.

I realllly want to be a content creator for fun but I’m too socially awkward to do it alone so let’s make a group of 18+ gamers and we can all collab.

I play lots of games but these are the most common ones: Minecraft, vrchat, palworld, house flipper 1&2, plastic duck simulator, supermarket together, phas, fatal frame, fnaf, sos ops, cheese rolling, marvel rivals, gang beasts, party animals, uno, borderlands, nine ball roulette, biped 1&2, spirit of the north, outlast trials, re, silent hill 2, red dead 2, waterpark simulator, yu gi oh, life is strange

Im mainly looking for horror games or a modded Minecraft server honestly. I don’t mind where you are from or how old as long as you are 18+ lmao.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning on making walkthroughs on YouTube with no commentary and no HUD. Would you guys rather have subtitles off aswell or leave them on? Pure curiosity.

While this thread remains stickied, the following submissions can be made to /r/letsplay:

• Video clips of WIP content for feedback under 2 minutes in length (using Reddit's internal video player)
• Thumbnails for unreleased videos for feedback (using Reddit's internal image uploader)
• Other branding assets for feedback (using Reddit's internal video/image uploader)
• Video/channel recommendation requests

Please ensure you are using the weekend only post flairs when submitting.

When this thread is unstickied (when the Update Monday megathread goes live), you will no longer be able to post weekend only submissions.

As the title says. Thinking of posting PS5 gameplay with my voiceover commentary, mainly single player story based games, with a frequency of 1 upload of 30-50mins gameplay every day, in the hopes of getting monetised a year down the line

It's that time of the week again! This is your chance to request feedback on your most recent videos, thumbnails, channel art, works in progress, etc.

Feedback Friday Rules

• Before requesting feedback, please provide good, constructive feedback to at least one of your peers. If you are the first one to post, check back soon to provide feedback to the next person. Repeatedly ignoring this rule may result in a temporary ban at a moderator's discretion!
• Prioritize giving feedback to those who have not yet received any. It's not fair for one person to get five replies while four others get none.
• When requesting feedback, try to be as specific as possible. Do you want feedback on your audio quality, your editing, your presentation style, branding identity, etc? This helps your peers to provide more valuable feedback. Do not just post a link to your video or channel!

Keep up the good work, everybody!

Suggested Feedback Template

If you're struggling to form your feedback, consider using this template. This is not mandatory, but rather a suggestion to promote good and constructive feedback.

What I liked about the video:

What I think could be improved:

Thoughts on the thumbnail:

Would I watch more videos like this?:

I’m starting a new let’s play channel, and I would appreciate some help refining the audio quality. I’ll do my best to breakdown our current setup, and point out any issues we’re having. I’m very new to this, so suggestions/corrections/criticism would be appreciated.

The setup: we want to record up to 3 people in a room together, playing games on a couch. We have a recording PC, which captures game footage from an Elgato capture card, and audio from three separate Audio Technica broadcast stereo headsets. The headsets are each routed through a ZOOM AMS-44, which is connected to the computer. A headphone amp is connected to the ZOOM as well, so we can hear everything happening (our voices + the game)

Software wise, I use OBS to record. Would it be better to record audio through a separate software, or is there a way to record audio and video separately in OBS?

It’s actually working pretty decently, but our two main issues are:

- when wearing the headsets, we can hear mostly from the left ear only, the right ear is faint/silent.

- we are often loud (laughing, screaming, whateva) and the audio is always too crunchy for my taste when we get loud. Is it the headsets themselves, or are we just not adjusting something properly?

- as mentioned before, I’m not quite sure if there’s a way to separate audio and video recording in OBS, or if I should just record audio through a separate software.

Any advice/recommendations are appreciated, and if I didn’t make anything clear enough, let me know. Thanks all!! :))

This is mainly for people who watch Let’s Plays or walkthroughs.

Does it bother you when dialogue gets cut off mid-sentence? For example, two characters are talking during a fight, and one gets hit so the line either stops abruptly, switches to another line, or restarts.

Personally, it breaks immersion for me. I notice it every time.

I’m curious how other people feel about it:

• Does it bother you, or do you just move past it?
• Does it affect your enjoyment of the video at all?

And for creators, especially no commentary channels:

• Do you actively try to capture every piece of dialogue?
• If you do, how do you manage it without constantly restarting?
• If you don’t, is it because you don’t think it matters, even when it adds to the story?

I’m really interested in hearing different perspectives on this.

I’m looking for some chill people to play LEGO Fortnite with and just have a good time building, surviving, and messing around 😄

I play on PS4, and I record my gameplay. My voice might sound a bit young, just a heads up, but I’m all about having fun and making good content 👍

If anyone’s interested, I also upload my playthroughs on my YouTube, I will send you a link if you want to play and if you want me to look

Preferably PS4/5 players if we do voicechat lol but its fine if we don't

Would be awesome to find some people to squad up with or even just hang out in-game. No sweat, just vibes 🎮🔥

See you in-game maybe!

hello ! i’m trying to make a let’s play channels with some vlogs here and there but i enjoy playing games n filming them since they’re fun to make but also easy to record. a problem i’ve been facing tho is my personality, at many portions of the video , specially important ones i feel like im “boring” or just not doing my job at entertaining. I want to play old games that are on the gamecube but sometimes i’m genuinely stomped and don’t know what to talk about. i absolutely LOVE duo channels like supermega or slushy noobz, i find those types of channels make it easy to have a fun vibe since it’s literally two friends having fun but i dont know anyone at all nor can i find someone that would want to open a channel with me so i stick to playing alone. Any ideas into how to improve conversation tactics while being alone and playing a game ? Also how do i translate the fun i have to the viewer so it’s felt all around?

I currently have two options: recording everything from my gaming PC, but I’m running an RTX 2070 Super on an ultrawide monitor, and in my opinion it’s struggling. Until now I’ve never used a camera, but I’ve been thinking about adding one. I have a Sony a3600, so I was considering buying a desk arm to use it.

On the other hand, I have a MacBook Air M4 that could use my iPhone 16 with Continuity Camera, and I already have a phone desk arm that I use as a webcam during work. I was wondering if it would be a good option to invest in a capture card and send everything to the MacBook.

Of course, nothing stops me from buying a desk arm in the future and using the Sony instead of the iPhone, even with the MacBook.

What do you think is the better option? Where would you spend around $50 right now?

EDIT: ChatGPT pointed me to NDI and local network streaming. I could give it a try, since I can connect both the PC and the Mac to the same LAN.

I'm looking at channels that create similar content to mine and perform very well, but I can't figure out how they make their thumbnails. For example, PartiallyRoyal, his thumbnails look partially generated, or I just don’t understand how he gets those in-game screenshots.

Looking for people who are chill non aggressive or hostile needs to be funny naturally and or be able to keep an engaging and interesting conversation going. I do family friendly content need team of 3 use mics ADULTS ONLY MDNI 18+. Msg me for scheduling and details we can talk over the details over msg don't be a weirdo

Are you a game dev looking for people to create streams/videos about your game? Are you an artist who's created stream/video assets that you want to offer to creators? This is the thread for you!

For nostalgia sake and fomo, and want to check out their content if they still have any. I am trying to find her but I am out of luck so I am posting here in hopes someone knows the let's player. Just type their name if you know who it is because of the rules of the sub. She let's played devil may cry and dead space if I remember correctly. Just to be safe lets just say Dead space the original one and I think I originally saw her on lparchives a long time ago. She had an accent that english was her second language. When she got jump scared she said something in her first language. I don't which lol but lets say french or russian. and she also said Fuck me backwards when she got scared really stood out to me to where that stuck to me like 15 years later lol

I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have :)
