Having so many Twitch streamers nowadays, it’s difficult for you to gain an audience promptly. So you need to make your content unique to catch the viewer’s attention. And creating a stream schedule is arguably the first step.
But if you don’t know how to configure a stream schedule, it’s alright.
I established my personal Twitch account 2 years back. In this article, I will discuss why you need to add a stream schedule and how you can configure, edit, or delete it, even on your mobile.
So, without wasting any more of your time, let’s get started.
Why Do You Need to Add a Stream Schedule?
Adding a stream schedule on Twitch is essential because it helps beginners to reach their content to viewers more efficiently. It is easy to follow a channel when you know the channel schedule.
For many viewers, these streams are like a TV show. Even before the stream starts, they hop on the couch and tune into their favorite channel.
But not all the same. People are very busy these days. Some of them watch content when they get time. Weekend, lunch break, and night before bed are typical free times people have.
To grow your stream channel, having a schedule is very important. Without a schedule, you do not expect people to tune in to your Twitch channel.
So, if you make your stream schedule according to people’s free time, you will get views on your Twitch channel.
