How to Record or Stream PUBG Mobile Gameplay

Though you can find several ways to record or stream your gameplay, I have a simple solution. As I told earlier, you only need a smartphone and fast internet connection.

Using YouTube Gaming Application is the best way to record your PUBG Mobile gameplay in 480p (SD) or 720p(HD) resolution.

Remember, anything on your screen will be captured including the app notifications, passwords, and calls, etc. The nearby sounds may also be recorded along with the game audio.

Though there are a few restrictions to enable the monetization option including 4000 watching hours and 1K subscribers on a particular channel in the last 12 months, a single viral video can help you break this challenge.

Yes! It’s a challenge but beatable.

Consistency and creativity are a couple of things will let you earn more money only from a single game.

2. YouTube Super Chat & Donations

YouTube has launched a new feature for the live streamers similar to Fan Funding called as Super chat. It lets viewers pay to their favorite YouTuber to support his channel and grab attention by a highlighted comment which gets pinned for up to 5 hours.

Since PUBG Mobile is a very popular game, many people watch live streams especially when custom matches are organized.

If your live stream is worth watching, then people will most likely to support you. Remember, YouTube has 30% cut off from Super Chat donations.

Similar to YouTube Super Chat, the viewers can make a donation through PayPal (International) or PayTM, Instamojo (Indian), etc.

3. Affiliate Marketing

Sometimes pro-gamers use some fancy or advanced gadgets while playing the games to get more realistic game experience. You might be using the same.

Since your followers may ask you which device or accessories you use to play PUBG mobile, you can refer them some high-quality items and earn a solid passive income through affiliate marketing.

There are many things to promote including but not limited to the smartphones, earphones/headphones, gaming PC and other accessories, etc.

You will earn around 1%-10% commission per sale which may also go higher up to 50%.

Many tech/gadget companies and advertisers may approach you for sponsorships once you get traction and have a significantly big audience.

You can simply add a few seconds of ad video or narration for promoting the sponsored products/services or showcase their benefits as an end user.

Depending on the video quality and audience size (i.e. subscribers count & engagement), you can get a few thousand or sometimes even more.

This monetization method is not so useful for newbies but once you cross 10K mark, you can easily get decent offers for sponsored videos.

5. PUBG Merchandise E-store

Since PUBG Mobile is widely popular, you can start a PUBG Merchandise store online to sell physical products including Apparels, Accessories, Frames, and Stickers, etc.

YouTube celebrities and PUBG Mobile influencers can utilize this opportunity and convert their followers into paying customers.

Note: While creating merchandise e-store, you MUST create customized designs visually similar to the accessories or apparels used in PUBG Mobile but they should not be the exact copies to protect your store from copyright and trademark violations.

Organize PUBG Mobile Tournaments

There is a great news for all who want to know how to make money playing PUBG Mobile game.

You can organize PUBG Mobile tournaments and create a stream of passive income while you are enjoying the gameplay.

To run PUBG Mobile Tournaments, first, you’ll need custom room cards.

For Elite Royal Pass and Elite Plus Royal Pass users, PUBG gives two room cards at level 15 and level 95 where the cardholder can create unlimited rooms for 3 days and 7 days respectively.

Though you will need some initial investment to purchase Elite Royal Pass or Elite Plus Royal Pass, you will get a lot in return not only the custom room cards but cosmetic upgrades and much more.

Alternatively, the room cards are available in Clan Shop and can be purchased with 300 Clan Points for each. However, you are allowed to create an only one custom room for every card bought through Clan Shop.

Though you need not spend real money while purchasing room card through Clan Shop, I’d suggest buying an Elite Royal Pass if you are thinking of organizing some big events.

How to Buy a Custom Room Card

1. For Elite RP/Elite Plus RP Users

Click on the UC (UNKNOWN CASH) Section on the main screen and buy sufficient UC.
Head over to RP section and purchase an Elite Royal Pass/Elite Plus Royal Pass.
Complete Daily/Weekly RP challenges and improve your levels.
You’ll receive two different PUBG Room cards at level 15 and level 95 which you can use anytime to create custom rooms and organize PUBG Mobile Tournaments.

2. For Normal (Free) Users

It may be possible that some users can’t buy Elite/Elite Plus Royal Pass due to lack for initial investments. Still, they can create custom rooms to play with their friends or organize custom PUBG tournaments.

Normal users need to complete daily clan challenges and they can purchase a room card for 300 Clan points each.

How to create a Custom Room

A PUBG room is a place where you can organize tournaments by recruiting custom squads or players.

In the Map menu, Select the Room option and then click on the Create Room.

Choose the respective options including the Game Map (Erangel, Miramar or Sanhok), Squad type, and Password if you want to restrict the Room access for the registered players only.

Now, you can click on the Create Room button located at the bottom and your PUBG room is now live to play a custom match.

Send the room ID, password, and scheduled timing to the registered members or players whom you want to allow in the match.

How to Promote Your PUBG Mobile Tournaments

Don’t worry!

There are many other promotional methods to make your tournament viral but remember you need to manage all entries, expenses, matches and final results along with the prize.

So, keep a ready documentation since you have decided to create the first room.

Managing PUBG Mobile Tournament Entries

You will need to use different applications to manage all people who are interested to play in your PUBG mobile tournament.
