Hi, Chris. I can’t wait for YouTube’s live streaming which will be added later this year. YouTube will also be adding video chats and conferencing. I can’t wait. I love your show, btw.

Congrats to you, Chris, you were featured in 50th place and 3rd place on the program “100 Funniest Videos” (my title may not be right) shown tonight on NBC. It was you laughing uncontrollably (where the lady said that you finally lost it) and the one where the guy drops the only ceramic disk in existence, shattering it to oblivion while exclaiming, Oh shit!”

I started my own uStream account the other week and have about 5 viewers on average.
I don’t know if I am doing this right or not, I have a few interests, mainly Tech, gadgets etc, and the other being magic…
Magic and tech = mixed users which = confusion..
What do you think I should do.

BTW, I enjoyed those tips.. My only problem is that there are thousands of Chris Morris’s out there, how can I get it known..

Chris maybe you could do a review of the different types of cam software (both Macs & Windows). I know the ones for windows suck unfortunately. Someone needs to port camtwist over to windows.

Thanks so much for this post Chris. As you know we are working to start our own live stream at work and I’m always looking for tips. I especially agree about having the right equipment and lighting. Very important.

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been thinking about streaming video for quite some time and have plans to include a weekly live stream, every Saturday, into my website. I want to get my feet wet before I jump into a permanent stream.

Ian Quinn, these tips are really helpful for Chris and all others who think about doing a live stream becuase you have laid the foundation for setting up a live stream show.

1.Have a place to host your video and chat room. If you don’t need a chat room, don’t get one. = this tip is probably the most important becuase you need a place to host and that place needs to be clean and full of life.

2.Make sure you have what it takes to be watched by complete strangers. If you can not speak in front of people at your school, job, or anywhere, then being an online streamer might not be the best for you. = This tip is extremely helpful because you need to know how to communicate with others and be able to socialize with them well or else your going to have trouble.

3.Have interesting topics. If you are on a tech show and you are talking about wood cutting, or something completely off topic, you will lose your audience. = I completely agree with this topic as well. this is becuase you need to know what your talking about in order for your audience to understand what the topic is about. or else you lose audience.

4.Make sure you have the proper equipment. If you have the money, spend it. A good start would be an external microphone that is not a headset, a web-cam or camcorder with mediocre to great video quality, and most importantly, a computer that can run the software required to stream. = in order to stream you need yo have the following items listed above to even stream and if your video is all laggy the video wont be good looking and you will immediately lose viewers and none of us want.that.

5.Get your name known. An easy way of doing this would be to “guest star” on a friends live stream and tell people where to find you. = Finally the last tip giving to us by Ian could be very helpful for anyone who’s going to start a live stream. because you want name heard all around the world do people can see who you are.

Yeah this tips help me think about starting a ustream TV live channnel.
thanks Ian for your thought. they were helpful.

Hopefully everyone read this topic and uses its knowlegde
