YOUTUBE VIDEO STREAMING GUIDELINESMost guides in Stayville are quick pubmats with 5-6 steps and a list of DO's & DON'T which is very useful but there are times STAYs have more questions or want to understand a little bit more than just the rules, so we have expanded on several topics when it comes to streaming on YouTube in the hopes that STAYs are able to understand more especially some of the terminology used when discussing streaming, as well as a few tips we have picked up along the way.

3 YOUTUBE STREAMING METHODS
We use and promote 3 streaming methods for YouTube and encourage all STAYs to utilize all 3 especially during Comeback to ensure every stream counts!
- MANUAL or FOCUS STREAMING; this method is basically you doing what a person does when they want to consume content; go to YouTube, login, searching for specific videos by typing in the search bar what you are looking for and watch it while interacting with the video & platform by Liking, commenting, interacting with other comments & sharing the link directly to social media, like humans do when they are on the platform.
- EMBEDDED LINKS; sometimes abbreviated as EL or ELS - a specifically designed website run by STAY 8 District that was created to help boost our Streams on YouTube by using a integrated method of watching a YouTube Video, the method is used in various ways for a multitude of reasons everywhere online today. STAY 8 District thought to utilize the method as form of streaming making sure to consistently adhere to YouTube's strict policy's for Stray Kids & STAY. IT WORKS BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE USED PEOPERLY USING THE GUIDELINES LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE!
- PLAYLIST STREAMING; is a more laid back approach to streaming. Using a playlist allows STAY to participate in streaming for Stray Kids while at work or school or just on your average everyday busy life schedule. Setting up a playlist even a short one, making sure to organize the playlist properly; adds to Stray Kids views helping to allow busy STAYs the luxury of contributing to comeback but not sacrificing things in their life at the same time to do so. To learn how to make Playlist on YouTube see this step by step guide. When using a playlist only ONE STREAM PER VIDEO PER PLAYLIST WILL BE COUNTED! So use it to help boost ALL of Stray Kids content but don't use the method as your main streaming method, think of it as a back up.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL STREAMING METHODS
✩ FOR THE 1ST 24 HOURS AFTER RELEASE DO NOT USE PLAYLISTS.
✩ AFTER THE 1ST 24 HOURS; ROTATE STREAMING METHODS TO MAXIMIZE STREAMS BASED ON THE TIME YOU CAN DEDICATE TO STREAMING, YOUR LIFESTYLE, AVAILABLE RESOURCES, ETC.

YouTube Premium Pricing

✔ Always log into a YouTube account when Streaming using any method, Fanbases always recommend using a Premium account, you can sign up for a FREE 30 Day Premium YouTube trial on an account that has never used the feature before, using any valid GMail address at YouTube.com.
📝 If you are a USA/PR STAY streaming on YouTube your views will not be calculated in to the agrégation for that MV for Billboard Charts YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN FOR IT TO COUNT! 📌 PAID PREMIUM ACCOUNT TIP A paid subscription to YouTube Premium is $11.99 USD a month, some STAYs will upgrade their main account for the month of comeback to a FAMILY Premium Membership and inviting either their other accounts or fellow STAYs to join their "Family" allowing 6 accounts in total to have a paid Premium Subscription for the price of 2 individual subscriptions ($22.99 USD). 📝 A free trial calculates views and has the same features as a PAID subscription, so you can just create new accounts and sign up for a trial if prefer or have limited means. |
✔ When streaming using multiple devices YouTube counts only ONE stream per IP address, meaning that if you stream the same video on multiple devices at the same time it will still count as ONE stream. If you are using you phone use your data instead of your home internet and use your Wi-Fi for you PC or Smart TV. Make sure you are using proper rotations.
✔ Use multiple accounts to stream, just not at the same time on the same IP address. Be sure you are not just logging in watching the Focus video and logging out and into a different account and immediately watch the same video again. When cycling through YouTube accounts watch 2-3 fillers, Interact, then log off and log into another account making sure you are not behaving like a bot.
📝 I have seen STAYs bring the point up that people who live in the same house, or groups of people in a public place like students at school or a large gathering place would have users on the same IP address and they could be watched similar content so we can stream multiple devices on the same IP address and it's fine right? YES & NO, YouTube has safeguards in place to determine if the views coming from the same IP address are organic or not which is why it is suggested to rotate accounts, rotate the order in which you watch content, don't use the same Playlists on all accounts at the same time, switch up your filler videos etc. All of these things are organic when consuming content and so is watching the same video frequently just not in a way that indicates manipulation of views like looping.

✔ Like, Comment, interact with other comments and share the MV using the share button and link directly on YouTube to other SNS Platforms! By interacting with the video this way you are engaging YT's metrics for that video which helps the video to trend allowing it to be recommended to others and boosting it's popularity and reach on the platform.
✔ TURN OFF AUTO PLAY ✔ Quality at least 480p ✔ Volume at least 50% - if you need to "MUTE" do NOT mute YouTube or the tab in the browser it's playing on, instead open your sound settings on your PC and turn the application's volume all the way down. YouTube's access regarding what you are doing on your personal computer STOPS at their platform so they can see when you mute it directly but they can not detect what you are doing outside of that. |
📝 You can see from the example of a STAY's Volume Mixer they are streaming on Spotify & using their Google Chrome Brower at the same time. This user has the volume settings adjusted so that each application has the required sound setting for streaming but they can only hear their browser while Manually Focus Streaming on YouTube.
Every PC has a Volume Mixer this allows users to adjust the individual volume of various applications when using your computer.

✔After streaming the FOCUS SONG, watch 3-4 videos before returning to the focus song, don’t watch videos from the same channel continuously switch it up a bit.
📌 TIP FOR YOUTUBE STREAMING Stray Kids Official Music Videos & various content are posted to 3 separate channels on YouTube. 1. Stray Kids' Official Music Videos, Trailers, Teasers, UNVEILS & Album Intros are always posted to JYP Entertainment's Official Channel. 2. Stray Kids' Official B-side Music Videos, SKZ Records & Players, Performance Videos, Dance Practices & agency produced content like SKZ-Code are posted to Stray Kids Official YouTube Channel. 3. All content from their Japanese releases are posted to Stray Kids Japan Official YouTube Channel. |
You can watch the Title Track Music Video on JYPE's Channel then watch Stray Kids' channel to stream 1-2 B-sides or use their JP Channel content, stages, collabs and other various performances as "fillers" from a plethora of channels while streaming, continuing to boost a variety of their content without worrying about streaming too much SKZ content on a single channel, too many times in a row and be flagged as "Bot-Like Behavior" and your views be filtered out. It is still recommended to use a NON-SKZ Filler periodically while streaming.
🧾 Example of a YouTube Streaming Rotation- you can use a similar rotation even when using ELs, you should switch over to YouTube to stream a NON-SKZ filler, then you can go back to the EL site and continue using them according to the guidelines.
✘ DO NOT USE THE SAME VIDEOS IN BETWEEN THE FOCUS TRACK IN THE SAME EXACT ORDER.
You can of course watch the same videos again just make sure it's not within 15-30 minutes worth of video content of the last time you watched it and make sure you are not using the same fillers in the same sequence.
The fanbases update STAY frequently if any of Stray Kids other Music Videos or performances are close to a milestone so we can add them into our rotations while streaming. You can follow StrayKStreams or SKZ Streams for updates about all SKZ MV view counts and more!
✳ This is just an example STAYs of course are free to choose the fillers they would like to enjoy along with Stray Kids latest releases while streaming, just remember to follow the guidelines and make sure their are 3-4 videos (approx total 20 mins) in between going back to the Focus video.

✘✘THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHILE STREAMING ✘✘
✘ Adjust the speed of the playback
✘ Skip ahead or go back - just let the video play.
✘ No looping or Replaying immediate after watching.
✘ Do NOT use a VPN while Streaming!
✘ Spam the comments. Its been proven that emoji's are considered human behavior and do not effect the views, neither does using the word stream in the comments or posting links but the same account posting the same comment over and over again will cause YOUR account to be effected.
✘ Do NOT watch reuploads of Stray Kids Content during active promotions - Translation videos are fine but fans will upload the entire MV right after release in an attempt to gain views and followers who think they are watching on an official channel, when they do this they take away what we are working to give Stray Kids.
