What do you need to stream?
Gaming PC and Capture Card
Streaming's quite hardware demanding -- on top of the game itself, there's the additional performance penalty streaming software introduces, especially if you're pushing the highest quality visuals.
Starting out, a decent gaming PC should be enough. If you've become well acquainted with streaming and want to expand your set-up, an external capture card's a worthwhile investment. Off-loading the workload lets you focus on creating content, and not hardware restrictions.
Monitor
Games, software, overlays, chats - streaming's a visual over-load!
On a single monitor set-up, frequent window-juggling's a frustrating necessity. An extra monitor makes all the difference in the world.
Microphone
Ask any streamer, they'll routinely cite microphones as their most important bit of kit.
Don't skimp out on microphone quality - it's your primary gateway to your audience.
Camera
A camera's not necessary, but browsing the Twitch front page, you'll quickly notice streamer's proudly plaster their faces all over their stream, making it uniquely theirs.
Our range of webcams have got you covered.
Stream Decks
The top streams are like a well-rehearsed production, with scene switches, camera change and more to routinely captivate the audience's attention.
It ain't easy juggling it all mid-stream, but a Stream Deck alleviates a lot of the burden. Instead of memorising multiple keyboard shortcuts, map them to a Stream Deck for a dedicated, easy to navigate interface.
Lights and Green Screen
Lights and a green screen truly take your streaming game to the next level.
It may sound like an intimidating investment, but streamer-focused solutions are designed to deploy and collapse quickly, as to not awkwardly dominate your set-up.
Internet
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi related dropouts and inconsistent speeds makes streaming needlessly frustrating.
If you can't connect directly using pre-existing network socket, consider powerline adapters as a robust replacement for a more reliable connection.
