Speaker A
I would suggest that you do this work until your 1000 subscribers are not complete. Because gaining 1000 subscribers is the most difficult task. Now once you have created a channel and made an audience base on it.
Speaker A
And how to grow it. So let's start with point number 1 which is. If you open a gaming channel and start putting gameplays on it.
Speaker A
The first thing is to record your own gameplay in a good resolution. And also the voice. So to ensure that your gameplay is smoothly recorded.
Speaker A
Then the chances of your video going on is the same. As much as finding a pond in the desert. Before showing your expertise in any niche.
Speaker A
Whatever your phone allows. And the frame rate should be either 30fps or 60fps. If you have a good gaming mobile.
Speaker A
You have to gather an audience of that niche. In other niches, we do this by using trend jacking. But what should we do in the gaming niche? On gaming channels, you can leave the gameplay.
Speaker A
And if you are recording something on PC. Then you can do all these settings in OBS studio. You have to record your voiceover in a different way.
Speaker A
Gaming tips, update reviews, game news, game equipment, comparison videos. And along with that, you can create a lot of things related to top games. And just by doing this, this channel called ABU has gained 318k subscribers.

Speaker A
And let me tell you that Techno Gamers also made some similar videos at its starting stage. If your skills are good, then you can make content on tips and tricks. And if your skills are not of that level.
Speaker A
Then in that case you can later on voiceover in your video. Due to which you will have another advantage. To make your video better.
Speaker A
Then you can tell about update reviews and upcoming news. And if you think you are an informative person. Then you can make content related to equipment and devices.
Speaker A
But because of who is playing that game. A personality is attached to every gaming channel. That is, if you watch any gaming channel.
Speaker A
With which you will create a gaming audience base on your channel. And the algorithm of YouTube will know who to suggest your content. And because of this, your channel will start getting good impressions in the starting.
Speaker A
And listen to his storytelling. And this is the thing that makes these gaming channels so big. If I remove his expressions from the Mitpat channel.
Speaker A
I would suggest that you do this work until your 1000 subscribers are not complete. Because gaining 1000 subscribers is the most difficult task. Now once you have created a channel and made an audience base on it.
Speaker A
There are a lot of skilled gamers in India. You will find them in the streets. But we have very few creators.
Speaker A
Then you can start putting gameplay on it. But how to put quality gameplay. Because of which the audience should watch the whole video.
Speaker A
You don't just have to do gameplay. But you have to connect with your audience. And you have to connect in such a way.
Speaker A
The first thing is to record your own gameplay in a good resolution. And also the voice. So to ensure that your gameplay is smoothly recorded.
Speaker A
For which you can take two approaches. If you think that your sense of humor is very good. And you can create a joke on the moment.
Speaker A
You have to come to your phone's settings. And write screen recorder in search. And then go there and set the definition to the maximum level.
Speaker A
Then you can record your voice with your game. Just like I told you before. But if you want to improve the quality of your video.
Speaker A
Whatever your phone allows. And the frame rate should be either 30fps or 60fps. If you have a good gaming mobile.
Speaker A
Which has a little more humor element. Now because you have played the whole game. Then you will know.
Speaker A
And after that you have to turn off the record microphone sound from here. Due to which your voice will not be recorded during recording. Only the voice of your game will be recorded.
Speaker A
And you can set it according to the video. Now it will be beneficial. That in a 40 minute gameplay.
Speaker A
And if you are recording something on PC. Then you can do all these settings in OBS studio. You have to record your voiceover in a different way.
Speaker A
Which scenes you don't want to show in your edit. Like your video will be 10x more engaging. Now your channel will not only be known for your gameplay.
Speaker A
You will need another device to record your voice with gaming. Phone or PC will work. In that you have to turn on your voice recorder.
Speaker A
You will have to do good editing. So that you can maintain the retention of your audience on your video. Now what are the elements of editing.
Speaker A
And connect your mic or earphones. And record your voice with gaming. This will make you have a separate file of your voice.
Speaker A
With attractive colors. So that your audience's brain keeps doing some activity. Otherwise if your audience's brain goes into easy mode.
Speaker A
Which will not be connected to your game. And this thing is going to be very useful to you later. And if you don't have two phones in your house.
Speaker A
Whenever you get a chance. Or if you remember any meme related to any scene. Then you must add it.
Speaker A
Then in that case you can later on voiceover in your video. Due to which you will have another advantage. To make your video better.
Speaker A
One thing that big YouTubers do in their gameplay. That is to put sound effects at the right time at the right place. And small YouTubers ignore this thing.
Speaker A
And how will this happen? I will explain this to you in a while. But before that you need to understand something else. Gaming channels do not run because of the game.
Speaker A
Which can improve the quality of your video a lot. The fourth element is color grading. Normally when you are playing a game.
Speaker A
But because of who is playing that game. A personality is attached to every gaming channel. That is, if you watch any gaming channel.
Speaker A
But color grading. Which they do in their whole video. And in the same way they play with colors.
Speaker A
Then you don't just watch the game. But listen to the voice of that creator. Listen to his commentary.
Speaker A
But if you want me to make a detailed video on editing. In which I will teach you to make the gameplay more engaging. And also provide some effects like this.
Speaker A
And listen to his storytelling. And this is the thing that makes these gaming channels so big. If I remove his expressions from the Mitpat channel.
Speaker A
If you think that by making quality content. Your gaming channel will work. Then you are wrong.
Speaker A
Remove his way of talking from Total Gaming Channel. And remove his energy from Techno Gamers. Then all these gaming channels are like other normal gaming channels.
Speaker A
Then you should make a video on trending topics or viral topics. But what can be a trending topic for a gaming channel? If there is not. Then we will make it ourselves.
Speaker A
There are a lot of skilled gamers in India. You will find them in the streets. But we have very few creators.
Speaker A
Like now a lot of trend of Moe Moe meme was going on. At that time if you make videos like this. Moe Moe Moment in PUBG.
Speaker A
And if you upload gameplays on YouTube. Then you need to understand that you are a creator. Not a gamer.
Speaker A
Like this creator made Bugatti of Andrew Tate in Minecraft. Or you can also take advantage of current news. Like Techno Gamers did.
Speaker A
You don't just have to do gameplay. But you have to connect with your audience. And you have to connect in such a way.
Speaker A
This will increase your growth chances by 50 times. Because at that time that keyword is trending. And people are searching it.
Speaker A
That they wait for your next videos. And they want to see more of your videos. And all these things will be with the right voiceover.
Speaker A
Now let's say you have followed all the steps I told you. And also learned to suggest your content. But what if someone doesn't click on it when your video is suggested.
Speaker A
For which you can take two approaches. If you think that your sense of humor is very good. And you can create a joke on the moment.
Speaker A
And if you look at them carefully. Then one thing is common in these 3 things. These 3 thumbnails are also very clickable.
Speaker A
Or you can make a funny situation. Or you can show something interesting in your video. Which people enjoy watching.
Speaker A
Basically you have to show some unique scenes in the game. So that people stop on your thumbnail. And click on it.
Speaker A
Then you can record your voice with your game. Just like I told you before. But if you want to improve the quality of your video.
Speaker A
Yes you heard it right. Maximum gaming thumbnails that you see. They are actually clickbait and edited.
Speaker A
So what you can do is. First you play the whole game. And after that write a script.
Speaker A
But how to create such thumbnails? And where did these PNGs come from to make such thumbnails? If you want a detailed video on this. Then quickly write a thumbnail in the comment section. I will cover this topic confirm.
Speaker A
Which has a little more humor element. Now because you have played the whole game. Then you will know.
Speaker A
Which if you decode. Then you can be viral on any social media platform in the world. That too again and again.
Speaker A
On which scenes more funny things can be said. And in this way you will make your script a little more fun. After which you can voiceover your script.
Speaker A
Your face will grow at the speed of a rocket. If you know how to recognize patterns and create patterns. But what is this? I will explain now.
Speaker A
And you can set it according to the video. Now it will be beneficial. That in a 40 minute gameplay.
Speaker A
As you can see. The core of all these videos is the same. Which is 1 dollar to 1 million dollar.
Speaker A
Which scenes will be interesting or funny. You will only be able to write about them. And you will know.
Speaker A
And he has made this thing in a pattern. And that's why he keeps getting views again and again. In the same way 4 years ago.
Speaker A
Which scenes you don't want to show in your edit. Like your video will be 10x more engaging. Now your channel will not only be known for your gameplay.
Speaker A
And after that he created this in a pattern. And kept making exactly the same kind of videos. But every time he kept changing the last thing of the title.
Speaker A
But your voice. Your way of speaking. Your commentary. Your funny moments. Or because of your seriousness. But only good script and voiceover will not work.
Speaker A
And in the same way you can create a pattern in your gaming channel. As AS Gaming did. And before you realize.
Speaker A
You will have to do good editing. So that you can maintain the retention of your audience on your video. Now what are the elements of editing.
Speaker A
No one can stop your gaming channel from growing. But every new channel needs a boost in the starting. So where did he get it from? Current gamers have an advantage.
Speaker A
Which make a gaming video more interesting. Number 1 is text. Which you can add in between.
Speaker A
That you put Shorts and long form content on the same channel. But in gaming channels you can do this. During your gameplay.
Speaker A
With attractive colors. So that your audience's brain keeps doing some activity. Otherwise if your audience's brain goes into easy mode.
Speaker A
And you can make a 30 to 50 second short of it. That too with Hook. And YouTube's algorithm promotes Shorts.
Speaker A
Then they will start the work. Which is their reflexes. Which is scrolling. And while scrolling they will click somewhere on someone else's video. Because of which you will have a loss. The next element is memes.
Speaker A
And slowly your subscribers will start gaining. In fact, you can also create your Shorts in such a way. That there is a hook at the beginning of the shot.
Speaker A
Whenever you get a chance. Or if you remember any meme related to any scene. Then you must add it.
Speaker A
That if you want to know what happened next. Then watch this entire video of mine. And just like this.
Speaker A
So that the audience's interest remains. And while laughing they watch the whole video. The third element is sound effects.
Speaker A
And you can also put these Shorts on Instagram. From where you will also gain followers from Instagram. And those followers will also watch your YouTube videos.
Speaker A
One thing that big YouTubers do in their gameplay. That is to put sound effects at the right time at the right place. And small YouTubers ignore this thing.
Speaker A
I have told you all the secrets from creating a gaming channel to growing it. But there is one thing without which your gaming channel. Can't grow any kind of channel.
Speaker A
Or forget. Because of which their gameplay gets a little dull. This is a small thing.
Speaker A
If you don't want your gaming channel to fail even after all the hard work.
