Picking streamers and moments

Pick streamers you actually watch

You will spot good moments faster in a stream you enjoy. You already know the inside jokes, the regulars and what fans want to see.

Big streamers have lots of clippers already. A smaller or growing streamer with a program can be easier to stand out with.

Stick with one or two streamers for a while. Your account starts to mean something to their fans.

What a good moment looks like

It makes sense on its own. Someone scrolling past has never seen this stream and does not know what happened before.

It starts fast. The first second or two has to give a reason to keep watching: a reaction, a question, a big play.

It has a payoff. A laugh, a win, a fail, a hot take. The clip ends right after it lands.

Short is usually better. Cut the warm up and the part after the moment is over.

Where to look

Chat going wild is a strong signal. So is the streamer suddenly getting loud, laughing or going quiet.

Instacut looks at chat and the audio to rank moments for you. Use the top picks as a starting point, then trust your own taste.
