honestly its a good idea to have a second monitor. if your running an OBS or stream labs. it is nice to have a second monitor. it will help keep track on what's going on during stream cause many things can happen.

for example your quality might become really choppy or flat out not good or no able to see your stream. second example. your stream gets disconnected due to internet issues. anything bad can happen and it will show on stream. so I would definitely recommend having a second monitor. Now on to the main situation. ->

for keeping your stream alive and more active in long periods of time. communicate with your viewers. ask them questions or have them ask you questions. something that would have them stay and get to know you and you get to know them. Second thing you can do is if you playing a certain game that has like a multi-player or online Co-op or something. you can invite them with you and have fun together. For me as an example. I play variety of games and I make sure I have games that viewers can join in as well. that way both of us are having fun.

keep talking to show viewers that you are active. cause having a quiet stream will result on someone coming in then leave quickly.

Next thing you can do is follow another streamer that has a bigger follow count than you. support them and have like a conversation and be friends. cause doing that will result on them to support you which will result on people following you and supporting you. uhmm..if you have more questions.
