Question

Can I create a successful gaming channel on YouTube without using a microphone?

Victoria Tsukayama

Community Answer

Yes, it's possible, but using a good-quality microphone is recommended as it allows your audience to hear you clearly, enhancing their viewing experience.

Question

What if I don't want to show my face or I'm not good at commentating? Can I still succeed on YouTube, and how can I improve my skills?

Grace

Community Answer

You can certainly succeed without showing your face. For example, Sunset Safari, a Roblox YouTuber with a million subscribers, has never revealed her face. You can learn to improve your commentary skills by practicing before recording or by writing a script.

Question

I didn't get any comments, so I don’t know what to improve and nobody is looking at my channel, but I don’t know why.

Community Answer

That might just be because some people don't typically comment when watching videos. That is okay though! Pretty soon, your channel will be noticed, and people will tell you what they think! Just don't force people to comment, because they won't answer truthfully.

Question

Is it okay if I cover multiple games? I have a ton of favorites, and I want to play all of them on my channel.

PrincessRainiac

Community Answer

Absolutely! There is nothing wrong with that. And variety is actually really good if you want to keep your viewers open to new content. And besides, you will get more viewers with different interests for each .game you play! An example would be one person who likes Overwatch, and then you play Splatoon, you would get viewers who like that game.
