How To Use The Twitch Ads Manager

The new feature is called the Ads Manager, and it essentially replaces the manual run ads quick action widgets.

To find out if you’ve got it, head to Creator Dashboard then click Affiliate / Partner in my case then Scroll down to Ads Manager. Make sure you’ve got Disable preroll ads turned on.

Then click the Ad Manager, you can schedule your ad spacing, meaning how often ads play, change the ad length so 30 seconds is 1 ad and that turns pre-rolls off for 10 minutes, 90 seconds or 3 ads is 30 minutes of pre-rolls off. These two tools need to be balanced carefully, personally, I am setting mine to 60 - 90 seconds every 45 minutes to an hour, but find what works for you, then you can set a delay, you’ll want this delay to be as short as possible.

How To Use The New Twitch Goal Widget?

Head to your Stream Dashboard, go to your Quick action tools on the right, and click the Plus button, you’ll search goals, and add it to your buttons.

Next click the button, and you’ll be met with the ability to start a goal, you can select Goal Type, so Subscriptions or Follows, set a description for what the goals aim is, and edit the overall goal.

Once that is done, you can start the goal and it will run across the top of chat much like a hype train or community channel point challenge, whenever someone subscribes or follows the goal will go by again and tell everyone where you’re up to, BUT the part I think is so much more valuable is how it appears in Twitch chat.

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.

Story Time. So my Sept follower goal was initially 15. Seemed reasonable to me. Having been watching your videos and utilizing them for the last 10 days or so, I've blown that out of the park at a whooping 53 followers AND twitch affiliate already. I want to thank you, much for these videos. They. Are. Amazing. And YOU sir. Should be proud. Here's to hoping I can catch you live eventually. CHEERS 🍻 MATE!

[seattlewitch]

I followed the directions yesterday for how to set up ads and ran ads at the start of my stream before people came into chat and then whenever I took a quick bio break, and it worked perfectly! Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I had a lot more new people in chat last night from the browse page. Perhaps because they didn't get a preroll ad? Thank you for this video, Eljay, so helpful!

[yourpalgames]

Didn't know about the follower / sub goals, now I do! Thanks!

[iGhostx]

Your videos have been nothing but helpful. a couple weeks ago I noticed my viewers dropping. But now for the last couple days I've been steadily maintaining 7 viewers. Now I know that isn't a lot for some people. But that's huge for me. Thank you so much!

[paigeamity]

Honestly so glad I found your Youtube a little under a month ago. Because of the helpful information you give I was able to get to affiliate within my first 7 streams on Twitch that Ive ever done. So thank you! You really make everything so easy to understand.

[Veletronic]

I never knew you could turn off pre-rolls for mid rolls instead- and I’ve been streaming for almost two years.

It’s disheartening to think of all the lost potential viewers, but I appreciate you for spreading this information!

Wish twitch themselves would make their content creators aware of this feature though.

[ktdunn]

As a new streamer, I had been too scared to run ads, even though I knew they turned off pre-rolls. I hate ads myself and really downplayed the benefit. I ran maybe one or two during breaks on separate streams, but never consciously chose to work them in. This video talked me into trying it and WOW. You mentioned this, but I really couldn’t believe with the timed ad running 1 minute into my pre-stream after me manually running an ad that I seriously got over an HOUR of no pre-rolls! Only one or two people were there and they were subs so they never saw them anyway! Totally insane. If I hadn’t run a single other ad that stream, the ones at the start would have been worth it alone.

Then I tried to run a 90 second ad once an hour or so when there was a lull in the gameplay. (Was happily surprised with how easy it was to snooze ads too during more exciting gameplay!) I had never really worked in breaks to my stream before so I actually felt way better at the end of stream as I took those breaks to mindfully check in with myself and hydrate, stretch, find a healthier speaking voice if I had been screaming too much, whatever I needed. On top of feeling less exhausted, knowing pre-rolls would be off for a bit just felt like a huge bonus. I also went to a BRB screen with music and did the multi action button on my stream deck that you suggested, and viewership did not dip once.

Thanks Eljay! Always giving killer advice. Love all these videos but never commented, this one was just so immediately impactful that I had to share my hype and gratitude.

[Mykho]

I'm 100% going to use that intended stacking feature of disabled pre-rolls, thx for the vids as usual Eljay

[TheFogFrog]

JUST A QUICK HEADS UP ABOUT THE GOAL BAR! You CAN customize it through OBS/SLOBS. If you add a filter to it and mess with the saturation/hue settings, etc, you an get a decent result. I made mine green to match my color scheme!

As usual Eljay, absolutely BANGING advice and content. I can't wait to see you hit 100k, you deserve that coveted plaque. Keep fighting the good fight <3

[artofpencil]

I would love to just have 2-3 people in chat just to talk to. It is not all about big numbers

[TheGiftedFaker]

A tip for clips and markers! You can still clip from the highlighter page with Alt+X. Clipping from the button in the dashboard just grabs 30sec of video but if you marker during the stream and clip afterward, then you can edit the clips and get better comedic timing OR make sure nothing got cut out from the clip. Granted this does take more time but it works best for me since I feel like I'm making more enticing clips to watch. I save highlights for longer sections that I want to save but if there is a short, less than a minute bit I want to be saved, I'll clip it after which precise editing.

[Rie_eza]

Having the ad manager has really helped me be more conscious of how long I’m sitting at my desk while streaming. Seeing an ad coming up and knowing I’m at a big part so it makes sense to take a break, go get water, go to the bathroom, just stand up and stretch for a bit, has been so increasingly helpful.

[elliieebit]

The fact two ads played directly after you mentioned streaming on YouTube to avoid ads was such beautiful irony.

[AlexAnteater]

Thanks for informing me about the ad manager. I wasn't even aware about the amount of ads that were being played while I stream! Hopefully, the manager will help to improve my overall stream experience.

[TemphinFD]

Ngl stuff about ads manager was useful. I was super worried about it interrupting important parts of the stream, or more to the point me forgetting and having a mid roll ad while im tryna talk with chat. Super helpful that you went into detail on this! Please continue to do so with any new features <3

[dadybad]

Watched maybe 20 of your videos in the past month. All the way through. This one is my most favorite

[Redbeardflynn]

I really appreciated the chapters...or whatever they're called? on this video. Helped me find exactly what I needed. You're awesome! Really enjoyed catching your stream recently, too. Lots of fun!

[RedMonsterSC]

Great advice on some new features that I've been looking at implementing. I hope they give you the option of changing the sub/follow goal banner color, as well as being able to run both goals together.

[MitchBurns]

First video I’ve seen of yours. I’m a small YouTuber and Twitch streamer and I found this quite helpful. Still figuring everything out, like I don’t even have a stream deck, nor really know much about them at all. I’m sure I’ll catch more of your stuff.
