Auto Category Switch Timer
Automated Stream Director Suggestion:
Streamers, both new and old, are looking to build new audiences, and expand their existing audiences, and would benefit substantially if there was a way that they could auto select 4 or 5 different categories, with a timer, that would automatically switch their live stream from one category to another during their live stream.
If a streamer was able to switch categories either for just one cycle or a continuous loop, this would benefit both the streamer and the streaming platform in a variety of ways.
Streamers could create more variety, to their streams and get exposed to different viewers in different categories and viewers without them having manually switch during their streams.
A streamer could preplan their streams and use the feature like their own personal stream director that could move them from one topic of discussion to another while keeping the stream fresh and interesting.
It could give the streamer a countdown and an advance notice of when the stream will be switching categories to allow him to either pause the transition if he is in a good place or begin to transition his audience to the new topic before the switch occurs.
A great benefit is that as the switch happens, their existing audience goes with them from category to category and pushes them higher in each categories viewer list with more viewers making it easier to be seen.
For example:
If a streamer wants to start out in Just Chatting with a general discussion to start their show, then discuss the politics of the day, before he transitions and talks about an upcoming trip he will be taking, he can organize his topics and choose the categories that reflect his talking points.
Use the drop downs below to enter up to five categories to automatically have your stream switch to as you broadcast:
[ ] Single Cycle then return to original category. [ ] Loop Cycle During Stream
Home Category: ----> IRL - Just Chatting
Auto Switch Categories: Duration Before Switch:
Category 1 -----> IRL - Talk Shows & Podcasts 30 Minutes
Category 2 -----> IRL - Politics 30 Minutes
Category 3 -----> IRL - Travel & Outdoors 30 Minutes
Category 4 -----> OPEN
Category 5 -----> OPEN
If I do a 5 hour stream, I want to be able to auto-switch between categories while adding variety by keeping my stream, the topics, and my audience fresh.
