Chess Streaming Resources?

Some of my chess.com friends like @Moonwarrior_1 or @ZionPureinHeart stream chess, so I was just curious what I would need to stream chess (preferably on Twitch or chess.tv etc.).

Context:

- I have zero streaming experience and not that knowledgeable at all with "computer-stuff", but I can navigate computers fine with what I know and don't mind learning new things.

- More-or-less broke for stuff like streaming, but I don't mind investing larger amounts of money for things like equipment or software if it is necessary. 

- I remember seeing some chess.com articles or blogs on streaming resources/advice, but I can't find them again and when I read them years ago, it was purely out of curiosity. 

Any resources or advice would be helpful; I don't know if streaming chess would be right for me, but it might be worth trying

hi kabob

a 2018/2019 laptop should be gud

Still no idea why you use "kabob" instead of "@KeSetoKaiba (we had that conversation before), but what's up? Any useful contributions for this thread? If you just wanted to chat, then just message me - I'd rather keep this forum thread on topic

twitch studio allows basic material

I don't have a laptop, but I use a PC (even better xD)

mic?

Hmmmmm....I’ve never streamed before so I don’t know. Maybe ask Moon what he does?

pc should work if it has 8 ram, and has a mic, get obs(harder) or twitch studio,(easier, but needs more ram) 

No external mic yet. I just use headphones with a built-in mic (Soyto SY733MV, blue color)

Also, no camera yet rip.

no camera needed, the headphones should work, pc, ur all set

Streamlabs for streaming software 

Maybe a good idea; never hurts to ask I could message them later, unless you want to give them this thread link.

Okay I sent him the thread! It looks like he’s playing rn so it might be a bit before he sees it

oh okay; thanks @ricorat

I know I'm only looking into information before deciding if I should get into streaming someday, but I probably just need a nudge in the right direction to feel more confident about it

I’m sure plenty of people would like to watch 🙂

It’s already been said, but yeah... maybe ask Moon . ... 

I watched Moon a couple of times. He seems nice. 

I don’t know anything about it so I can not help you.

Fair enough; thanks for at least posting @Tamtaramtamtam Besides, following this thread, you can learn the same information I will for future reference

I don’t think anyone want to see me play! Well maybe... but not for the learning experience.  Maybe for a smile or some laughs. 

I can do some impressions or tell some jokes. ...

I will however create an account and will def watch when you are streaming.

Thanks
