We're gonna tell you how to put together a
live call-in for your live-streams
and we're starting right now.

What is going on? My name is Nick. Welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here
and you wanna learn how to grow your channel,
make videos and all types of other
YouTube related stuff, start now
by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Okay if you're live streaming already,
you already know how awesome it is getting
all of the engagement that comes when
you are going to live stream.
To level that whole thing up a notch,
it's pretty awesome taking live calls
from the people that watch your videos and live streams.
For this to work you are going to need two things:
the first, is live streaming software.
For this, I personally recommend streamlabs OBS,
that's what we use for our live show and it's awesome.
The second thing is Discord, if you're not familiar
with what that is yet, you will be here in just a minute.
Okay now that you know what you need to do it,
I'm gonna pass this off to Zaggi,
who set it up for our live show
and he's gonna show you step by step
how to set it up on your end. Zaggi
. Take it away.
Thank you much Nick. Let's just get into it.
The way we set it up for the Nimmin live show
is actually a pretty easy way to do it.
We're gonna do it on a fresh Discord server
here so we don't skip anything.
To create your own Discord server
you simply hit this little plus down here
and create a server, and for the purpose of this video
we're just gonna call this one Test.
You probably already have a Discord server
if you are considering doing a live call in show,
but let's just walk through what you need to do.
First off, you need a few different rooms
on your Discord server. It depends how you call in
show is gonna be. If it's gonna be you spend five
minutes on each conversation,
then you probably don't need as many as if you
were just to answer a single question of 30 seconds.
That depends on the content you make.
First off I would recommend you to create an
entire new category because this way you can
collapse it whenever you don't use
the live show part of your Discord.
Now we have the live show categories.
To create more channels, you hit this little plus
next to the live show and we will add voice chats.
We're gonna add a few different ones here
and I will explain why, when we've created them.
And this is basically what the Discord server
is gonna look like in the live show part
of your Discord server, once you've created
the rooms you need. Keep in mind guys,
that running the Nimmin live show actually requires
quite a few moderators as well.
It's very hard to run a call in show alone,
especially on YouTube where there is a lot of trolls.
We the moderators try to help out with
everything else that needs to be done.
Nick just needs to know he needs to go
from room one to room two, then from room two
to room three. We are gonna fill up every of
those rooms in front of him with the people
who want to ask him the questions.
The people that want to ask him the questions
have to join the Discord server.
Once they're in the Discord server,
we advise them to go and read,
read first so they actually understand what's going on.
And for this part I have pretty much just copied
what we use in the Nimminati Discord server.
It is basically just a little guideline,
just so people have an idea what we need
to be aware of before they join on air. Basically,
don't have any blasting TVs or radios next to you.
Also, have a thought out question before you
actually get put on to Nick because
there is going to be a lot of questions
that has already been covered in other videos
on the channel. Have a well thought out
and very specific question to ask.
And then there is a very easy step by step guide
in this as well. Just basically letting people know
that they have to join the waiting room,
where there's going to be a few mods that's gonna be
screening the different people.
Because we do not need people with really bad
microphones and such to come on air
or even trolls that might scare off some of the viewers.
And once one of the mods has cleared that this guy
has no background noise and his microphone is decent,
and we can actually hear what he says,
they get dragged down into the gateway.
That is a hidden room that only the moderators can see,
and the people that get dragged into it.
This is the place where we're just gonna check out
that they actually have a relevant question for Nick.
If they have a relevant question and they
fit all of the other criteria,
we put them down into one of the live channels.
The live channels are locked, so only the moderators
and Nick Nimmin can enter them,
but everyone can see them.
Just so people can kind of get an idea
of how many people might be in front of them.
If your live streams are really busy,
and you actually have a very active Discord server as well,
I would advise you to go into your channel settings
on the waiting room and put a cap of
how many people you want in there at the same time.
Usually we have like 10 or 15 in the Nimminati.
That means there is a max of 10 people
in the waiting room at any time,
and the mods can then easily identify
who makes sense to bring down and who's
definitely not a troll and such.
Once they're cleared from the gateway
and put down to one of the live rooms,
they just have to wait, because from here on
Nick is gonna be the one doing the work.
They just need to be ready to actually
ask Nick the question.
Whenever Nick is done in the room above them,
he's gonna jump from room one down to room two
where a lucky person is gonna be sitting
and waiting with their question.
Well that is basically how it works.
Then once Nick leaves the room,
then one of the moderators is either gonna force
a disconnect from that user so the live room
once again clears up and can be filled with a new one
by right clicking on their name and pressing disconnect
which you can do as a mod, or just drag them
into the general part of your Discord server again
so the room will be ready for a new person.
The reason we have the waiting list is basically
because once all the live rooms get filled up
and people keep joining the waiting room,
we might clear people and then bring them
back into the waiting room so they can be there,
but then we just note their name down
and whenever a live stream room clears up,
then we drag them down. You do always want to have
at least one or two additional rooms with people though.
Because sometimes people go AFK, they might disconnect
or something, and you don't want to have a part
of the show where you're just going to be sitting
there as those trying to get in contact with someone,
then it's better to just move on with the next person.
So always have a few people waiting for you to come around.
But that is basically it. Of course, some of the
channels need to be hidden. Goes without saying
that the mod chat should only be for moderators
and it is basically the command center of what is
going on during the live shows.
The waiting room is public with a limit on,
and then the gateway is hidden,
so we bring people down there, nobody
can see them except for the mods.
And down into the live rooms, only one person per room,
and everything should work pretty flawless from there.
Back to you Nick.
