# Hidden setting that kills an annoyance

A gaming format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/gaming/hidden-setting-that-kills-an-annoyance

Name a frustration or cost every player hates, then show the exact menu toggle or setting that removes it. It worked for 7 accounts, with a median of 8x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Talking head, Voiceover.

## Why it works

It solves a universal problem, so viewers save it and try it straight away. Ogbalakay, mrroflwaffles, chuckthecg and mr.nerf all zoom on the specific setting.

## How to make it

1. Open on the annoyance or penalty
2. Zoom into the exact menu path or slider
3. Show the before/after result

## Hook formula

If you hate [annoyance] in [game], change this one setting

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
