Guide

Why do my stream clips get no views?

In short: usually one of six things: the clip starts too slowly, it needs context from earlier in the stream, it has no captions, it's wide or letterboxed instead of vertical, it's a repost with minor edits, or the posting is irregular. Fix the first four in the edit, the last two in how you post, and compare your own numbers to see what changes.

The checklist

1. Slow start. If the first second is setup, people scroll. Start on the line or the play.
2. Needs context. Strangers weren't in your stream. If the joke needs ten minutes of backstory, it isn't a clip.
3. No captions. Many people watch with the sound off; captions let them follow.
4. Wrong shape. A wide clip with black bars looks like a repost. Go 9:16 with your face or the action in frame.
5. A repost. Platforms push down reuploads with minor edits; Instagram says so in its recommendation guidelines (Instagram help). Post your own edits.
6. Irregular posting. One clip a month gives you nothing to learn from. Schedule a steady week.

Learn from your own numbers

Check each post's views a day or two later and make more of what works. RipClip shows the views on the posts it published, next to the clips, so you can see which moments land.
