streamers take this part of the channel for granted and it's one of the key
elements to grow on mixer it allows your audience to know who you are what your
stream is about and it's also one of the main things that mixer looks at when
they're reviewing partnership applications so follow along with this
video and take the time to do this right so the first thing we want to do is we
want to go ahead and add an actual mixer picture on your profile so to do this
access your broadcast dashboard on the left hand side you want to select
Customize and here on the right you're gonna see it says avatar now the
recommended size is 512 by 512 so we're gonna use a free software call it canva
and you can find the link in the description below to go ahead and create
our mixer picture so once you're on canva you want to go ahead and create an
account or login if you already have one once you're logged in you want to select
create a design custom dimensions and we want to input 512 by 512 which is
recommended by mixer once you're here on the left hand side you want to select
upload and you want to go ahead and select and upload an image of yourself
which is preferred and I have one here of me already you want to drag it over
drop it in there and now you want to select publish and download download
your image and while this is downloading now you can go ahead and go to mixer
click on upload an image and you simply want to go ahead and upload the image
that we just simply created adjust it to your liking
and then select upload and now you have a mixer picture on your actual profile
so the next thing we want to focus on is your social thumb
no and you're offline banner image so access your broadcast dashboard on the
left hand side select Customize and here on the right side you're gonna see your
social thumbnail now this is the image that you're gonna see when you're
sharing your stream on sites like Twitter or Facebook so you can see here
the recommended size is 405 by 2:30 so you can come to canva type in the
recommended dimensions and start creating that actual image now your next
one is gonna be your channel background now this one is not really seen but you
can use a stock mixer image just like me just to have something there the one I
really want to spend the most time on is your offline image as this contributes
to the actual growth and what people see when you're not online there are three
key things you want to include your social media your schedule your logo or
your brand or something to reflect your stream so this can be easily created
inside of canva you can see the recommended size is 1280 by 720 so you
can come to canva select create design custom dimensions type in 1280 by 720
create design you can type in offline select one of the free images here and
now you can just simply go ahead and customize things to your liking have the
social media and now the only thing you need to add on here is your actual
schedule so how do we go ahead and do that you come to text add a heading and
here you can add your your schedule as you see fit
so let's say for example you do Monday Wednesday Friday you know I mean from 2
to 6 p.m. you can type that there and then you can simply move it and now
customize everything just by simply clicking on it and making the
adjustments once you've completed this actual image added the creativity at you
want your colors your images whatever the case may be you simply want to
download it and once you download it you want to go ahead and select upload and
now that image is there so the next thing we want to discuss is your actual
channel intro and your social media profiles so we want to go ahead and
access your broadcast dashboard and then
you want to come to the left hand side and
select Customize now here at the top you're gonna see information now your
channel intro you want it to be something very short maybe two to three
sentences describing what your channel is about and then on the bottom you see
where it says your social profiles these are the social medias that you want to
showcase on your mixer channel so that way your viewers can follow you on these
other channels so you want to use channels that you're actively active on
don't add channels that you don't regularly use so for example I've added
Twitter Facebook YouTube and Instagram these are the channels that I am active
on so to simply add them you want to click the plus symbol and since I've
already had these added they're now gonna appear here but let's say for
example you have a SoundCloud you simply just want to put the link of the social
profile there and select save and once you hit save now the social profiles are
gonna appear on your actual channel so take a moment think about your channel
intro and think about the social media profiles you want to display that you're
active on and before we move forward go ahead and comment below with your mixer
channel so I can go ahead and check it out so now we're gonna dive in to the
main aspect of customizing your mixer profile which is your channel
description so go ahead and go to your broadcast dashboard on the left hand
side select customize and now here you're gonna see the channel description
section so the key things you want to incorporate in your channel description
is an About section your actual schedule your chat rules your donation your
social media and your merch or anything that you're gonna be promoting these are
the things that mixer looks for when they're reviewing partnership
applications now that you know the key elements you must have in your channel
description how do we go ahead and design the actual panels for the
description so there's three ways that we can go ahead and do this we can use
canva which is the free tool we've been using throughout this video you can go
to nerd or die and the link will be in the description to get the free panels
made or you can use Brian which is the guy who designed my overlays my panels
and his email being the description below where
you can reach out and ask them for any custom work that you actually want so
I'm gonna break down these two additional steps here for you
so under canva you can come to create a design and you want it create you want
to make this 320 by 85 and you want to select create a design and this is gonna
be very simple you don't need to get very complicated you want to use your
color schemes so we simply want to go ahead and let's say we're gonna create a
chat rules panels so I simply want to come to elements right I want to go
ahead and select let's say for example when it's like this square I'm just
gonna drop the square in here and we'll just make it very very simple do not
complicate things we'll make this black let's say I want
the background to be yellow we'll make it yellow and then always
simply want to do is I say we want to add some text so we'll click text and
we'll type in chat rules we'll type in chat rules now this is way too big I
like to use the font called Oswald it's very easy to read use that and now you
can go ahead and drag this put chat rules and now let's say for example I
want an icon here I can go to elements I can type in
social besides I've been social and let's say I want to use this I can go
ahead and click this add it in here and now simply I've simply created an actual
panel for natural mixers so now let's say this is the panel we want to use I
want to go ahead and click download and now I've downloaded that actual panel
and you can go ahead and delete this and you can make this say social and
download that and make every single panel look exactly the same so that way
it's within brand and you can just change this icon and change the actual
text now if you want to use nerd or die it's another way to be able to use it
you want to come to their website once again the link is in the description you
want to come to resources free resources switch panel maker now although using it
from mixer you still can use this free tool and simply you can select the
actual color that you want the left to be you can select the color you want on
the left you can select the color of your actual text and this can be chat
rules you can select the actual icon the size of the actual text and then you
simply want to go ahead and name the file let's say chat rules and select
download now where says add padding I always leave that as yes that way when
you add text under this panel it's not so close together and then you simply
select download and now we've downloaded our actual panels completely free using
canva and using nerd or die and of course if you want something a little
bit more custom feel free to reach out to Brian his emails and description
below and he'll help you out with creating some custom panels for your
actual channel so to go ahead and add the actual panels that we created onto
your actual channel description you want to come and select edit
once you select edit you want to come and select here this little image icon
and that's gonna allow you to add an image however the only way to add this
image to your description is by having an actual link so I'm gonna show you
right now how you can go ahead and upload the actual image and acquire this
link that you need for mixer so we're gonna use a free website called Flickr
and I think it is gonna be in the description below and you want to go
ahead and create an account or if you already have one simply go ahead and log
in so I'm gonna go ahead and get logged in here and once I'm logged in I want to
go ahead and select this little cloud icon to upload the images that we
created so I'm gonna go ahead and click upload and I'm gonna go ahead and upload
the actual chat rules that we went ahead and created and once you've uploaded
select upload photo select upload and now we want to go ahead and click on the
actual image so you want to click on the image and here you're gonna see a down
arrow you want to select this here you want to click view all sizes and now the
best way to get the link is you want to
right-click and say open image in new tab once you open up image a new tab at
the top bar in the URL there's gonna be a link you want to simply copy that link
you want to come back to mixer and you simply want to paste that link in and
now the image is now here and you simply just repeat and duplicate the actual
process to add those additional panels on there now you may be wondering what
are these blue links here now in order for you to add links to your actual
mixture profile let's say for example I want to do I want to make mixer com
clickable you want to highlight it and you want to click this little infinity
sign here and now you want to go ahead and type in the URL which is mixer comm
and select ok and now this link is actual clickable once you're done adding
your panels and adding your links and your description and your bowel and
filling out everything that you need you simply want to select save and now your
channel description has been updated and now you've officially completed 100%
your profile for mixer giving you the best opportunity to stand out now that
