Understanding Twitch’s Video on Demand (VOD)
Before we get started, it’s important to understand that Twitch’s Video on Demand (VOD) feature allows you to upload videos to your channel that can be watched by viewers at any time. These VODs can be used to automatically play videos on your channel when you’re not live.
Step 1: Upload Your Videos to Twitch
The first step is to upload your videos to Twitch. You can do this by going to your channel dashboard and clicking on the “Upload” button. Follow the prompts to upload your video, and make sure to fill out all the necessary information, such as the title, description, and tags.
Step 2: Set Up a Video Playlist
Once your videos are uploaded, you’ll need to create a playlist to automatically play them. Here’s how:
- Go to your channel dashboard and click on the “Playlists” tab.
- Click on the “Create Playlist” button.
- Give your playlist a name and click “Create Playlist.”
- Click on the “Add Video” button and select the videos you want to include in your playlist.
- Click “Save Playlist” when you’re done.
Step 3: Configure Your Channel’s Auto-Play Settings
Now that you have a playlist, you need to configure your channel’s auto-play settings. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to your channel dashboard and click on the “Settings” tab.
- Scroll down to the “Channel” section and click on “Auto-Play.”
- Select the playlist you created from the dropdown menu.
- Choose whether you want the playlist to play in a loop or stop after each video.
- Click “Save Changes” to apply the settings.
Step 4: Customize Your Auto-Play Playlist
For a more personalized experience, you can customize your auto-play playlist. Here are some options to consider:
- Video Order: You can set the order of videos in your playlist to ensure that your favorite content is always at the top.
- Video Duration: You can set a maximum duration for each video to prevent long videos from playing continuously.
- Video Quality: You can choose the video quality to ensure that your playlist runs smoothly on different devices.
Step 5: Monitor and Adjust Your Auto-Play Playlist
After setting up your auto-play playlist, it’s important to monitor its performance and make adjustments as needed. Here are some tips:
- View Analytics: Use Twitch’s analytics to track the performance of your auto-play playlist and identify any issues.
- Engage with Viewers: Encourage your viewers to comment on the playlist and suggest videos they’d like to see.
- Update Content: Regularly update your playlist with new videos to keep your channel fresh and engaging.
