Hey guys,
I myself don't use facecam in my vids but I know how much potential it has.
Do you use facecams or what were your experiences ?
Hope I'll get some advice from you guys.
See ya:)
 
From my experience, using facecam takes more work, 'cause you have to sync the audio with the gameplay AND the camera, but, yeah, I think it makes the video more personal and whatnot. Or you can, y'know, use it to make the video funnier - like, if you were to record a horror game. Plus facecam videos usually get more views, if that's what you want xD

Like what AngelAttack said, it's hard work. But I'd say that it depends on what game you're playing. If you're alone, then YES WEBCAM! Because you would be looking at the audience, talking with them and whatnot. But if you're playing a multiplayer game I would suggest no webcam. For example, Kwebbelkop, although he's not very entertaining, puts on a webcam regardless when he's playing GTA V with his friends. The webcam is redundant because he's not interacting with the audience or looking at the camera at all. You just kinda see him interacting with his friends looking at a screen the whole time which is just a waste of space.
So I would say go for it, if you're playing solo games that is. If you're playing a game with friends then don't bother with the webcam.

That's a point of view I haven't considered yet. Thx for the reply :)
 
Most popular gaming channels have face cam. But of course some dun. However, if you're good looking, or funny looking, or just grab attention in any ways, then sure add ur face cam.
 
Yeah I think it caters to different audiences. Facecam for more personal input towards your audience, essentially putting 'a face to the name', just audio for the more gameplay focused watchers.
