“Kenny Kamp, sometimes live streaming without a camera can make fans feel a little disconnected, especially when they’re used to seeing you and feeling that personal connection through visuals. Fans enjoy the chance to see your expressions, your energy, and your personality shine through when the camera is on. It’s part of what draws people in and keeps them engaged. Without that visual element, it might feel less interactive for your audience.
That being said, there could be many reasons why you choose to keep your camera off during certain live streams. Maybe you’re focusing more on the conversation or the topic you’re discussing, or perhaps you just want to create a different vibe for that particular session. Your fans who truly appreciate you will still support you regardless, but keeping a balance between audio-only and video streams might help maintain that connection.
Ultimately, the decision is yours, and your audience should respect how you choose to present yourself. However, turning on the camera every now and then can be a simple way to make your fans feel closer to you and keep them engaged. It’s about finding a middle ground that works for both you and your loyal supporters.
