How to Start a Gaming YouTube Channel in 2025 (Step-by-Step Guide)

By grihm
Thinking about launching your gaming channel this year? You're not alone. With more tools and opportunities available than ever before, 2025 is a perfect year to start. But starting out can feel overwhelming if you don't know where to begin. First, pick your niche. Are you into competitive FPS games like Valorant and Call of Duty, or do you prefer immersive RPGs, horror playthroughs, or chill sandbox games? Find something you enjoy and can create consistently. Next, choose a unique and memorable channel name that's easy to search and spell. It should reflect your brand or gaming identity. Now, gear up. While you don’t need a Hollywood-level studio, you will need some basics: a good microphone (a condenser mic like Maono or Fifine), a webcam (Logitech C920 is a go-to), and recording software like OBS Studio, which is free and powerful.

How to Get More Views on Your Gaming Videos (SEO & Algorithm Tips)

By grihm
So, you’re uploading regularly, editing your content, and posting gaming videos—but the views just aren’t there. Don’t stress. Growing your views on YouTube in 2025 is all about understanding how to work with the algorithm, not against it. Start with your titles. Use search-friendly, specific titles that reflect what your audience is looking for. For example, "Best Warzone Loadout for Ranked in 2025" is better than just "Warzone Gameplay." Keywords matter. Use tools like TubeBuddy or VidIQ to find what people are searching for. Your thumbnail is your first impression—make it count. Use bold fonts, bright colors, and an image that clearly tells the viewer what to expect. Avoid clutter, and keep it visually engaging. The more clickable it is, the better. Next, watch time. YouTube values videos that keep people watching. Start your videos with an exciting hook or teaser. Jump right into the action and deliver value quickly. Avoid long intros or filler content. Desc...
