So there is no doubt that Rumble has been getting a lot more attention and seekers recently, as you can see in the latest public release. 58 Million Monthly Active Users is impressive, and on top of that, 10.7 Billion Minutes Watched Monthly.

Verifying your account is crucial before you can fully utilize Rumble's features. These include uploading a video, using live streaming, earning money, leaving comments, and voting for videos. So, make sure to verify your account to unlock these capabilities.
This step is essential for you to make the most of your Rumble experience.
Setting up a Stream
To start streaming, click "Go Live" in the top right corner of the screen. You will be prompted to enter your stream information, so complete each box. Consider this your digital real estate.
Thumbnail design is essential because it represents your brand and vibe, so ensure it flows well with your content. A placeholder video is a looped video that plays while your stream is awaiting start. It shows viewers something until you begin streaming.
Tags are useful for content discovery, as they help with search results. I hope to see more people take advantage of this feature.
Finally, make sure to set your stream's visibility correctly. If you are testing a stream, you should start with a private setting so it won't be visible to anyone else.
