Why is a stream title so important?

The title of the stream is a direct representation of the content you’re making. The sole purpose of a title is to explain what the stream is about. Thus, it is quite similar to writing an article or naming a YouTube video.

Here’s a couple of reasons why a stream title is so important:

1. Your choice of a title can help attract new viewers to your channel who relate to your content

Most of the time an honest title, which explains exactly what you’ll be doing in the stream is a good idea. It will attract only those viewers who deliberately want to watch that particular content. This results in those viewers sticking around, becoming followers, or even subscribers!

2. The stream title can increase relatability with your viewers

Many Twitch streamers also tend to make their stream titles funny and witty as those kinds of titles hold more entertainment value. Especially if you’re playing a game like the newly released Elden Ring, which is considered quite difficult and unforgiving, a funny title can help ease the anxiety and frustration of your viewers and help you bring out a more enjoyable stream.

To conclude

Fortunately, Twitch gives you the ability to make changes to the stream title yourself, or enlist the help of your Mods to do so.
