A:The Media Team has created a folder on Google Drive that contains the logo and other graphics you may need. This can be found here. 

A: There is no need to apply for Media Division, once you are a member of the community, you can begin making content!

A: Gaining more followers and views for Twitch and subscribers for YouTube isn't something that happens over night, otherwise I'd be a bigger star than PewDiePie!!.. Ok, back to reality.

The key to getting viewership is to be engaging and positive about your streaming. Being quiet, not engaging and having content that doesn't bring your viewers to the edge of their seats won't work. With having great quality and smoothness, not to mention on screen labels and alerts to show your latest follower, cheerer etc, you need to talk to your viewers as they are there with you and may have comments and questions for you. If you ignore them or don't show eagerness to interact with them whist streaming, they'll feel disrespected and will leave to find someone else.

At the end of the day, it takes effort and time and you need to be prepared to give it that.

A: There are no longer ranks in the Media Division, for more information on how to become a verified content creator for the community, check out our Media Division Handbook!

A: OBS is essentially the bare bone basic of streaming. It's like the original to streaming tools. It's a little easier on your PC performance and great if you're not interested in anything advanced or fancy and your goal is record and shoot.

StreamLabs OBS however is far advanced and features all the fun things you see with Twitch streamers, such as custom alerts, the labels of latest followers and so much more. We recommend StreamLabs OBS (SLOBS) for a far more professional and entertaining look.

A: There are two different types, essentially. There are the Mics that are built into their headsets, which is great if you're limited on space, both on the desk and PC ports. The Mics you see floating on a boom arm are either separate USB/Line In mics or most commonly these are condenser XLR Mics, like the ones you probably used in Music Studies in highschool. 

The XLR Mics offer the ability to be plugged into Hardware and are of far higher quality as they are not tightly compacted into the Headset like your standard headset microphone. To obtain the hardware, this does cost a bit more than your standard all-in-one headset and there may be fees for licenses, depending on the software you go for so always research but you purchase.

A: Twitter and Discord are your best bet at the moment. 

If you are using StreamLabs OBS, there's a way you can link your Twitter account to post when you go live, so you don't have to. Either that or you go old school and you post manually that you are live and you keep doing this every time. Don't ask/beg people to join, just say something like "I'm now live, playing ____ <link>".

As for Discords, there are a ton of community Discords available where you can self promote or join a team that will promote you. Alternatively, partnering up with other people, being interactive and making friends (funnily enough) will get you a very long way.

A: No, sadly not and this is a limitation to the way Discord Bots post when you go live.

How it works is the Twitch API sends a push notification out to bots that listen for it, which is why they post when someone goes live, and that's the keyword, goes. Of course, the API doesn't know when/if you switch games and as such, won't post again. The Media Division Database can only detect the push notification of you going live, not switching games.

So unfortunately, the only way for your MidwestRP stream to count is if you stop and restart the stream after fixing your title to have MidwestRP in it.
