A Beginners Guide to video game live streaming

This guide is to help you get into video game live streaming on Twitch, FB, YouTube or any other platform, giving you the basic necessities, to advanced upgrades.

It could be a video game stream, IRL stream, IRL on the Go stream, Creative stream, or helping you get started on the basics to start your own category of streaming on Twitch. I may cover some subjects more than once in other posts. That is merely to have a overlapping effect to get the information in your head.

Starting a stream is easy, and can be done on a budget. Although, quality can go up with more expensive equipment as you progress your live streaming journey overtime. That being said, expensive equipment won’t make your stream content better from the get go. Only dedication, experimentation, and patience can help you there.

I want to help you get started on a budget (things you may already have). Once you start pulling in massive viewers and donations, I want to guide you in the direction of production value upgrades.
