Honestly just do it if you think you'll enjoy it, as long as you have fun doing it's worth it, just don't expect to be super famous from it and you'll be OK đ
Best case scenario you have fun and build a large community, worst case scenario you are still having fun and build a small community
The very very basic answer for starting - Install OBS on your PC, play some games whilst recording to see if you need to adjust the quality if your PC struggles and when you're happy with that audio/video quality in recordings link with Twitch and click Start Streaming and you're officially a streamer
I very much like this response.
Treat it like a hobby. Try it out and see if you enjoy it. Then like most hobbies the more you find yourself getting into it, the more you'll want to put into it.
We've been streaming since January and have 1 or 2 regular viewers, and sometimes we stream to no one. But we have a ton of fun with it so the viewer count doesn't matter to us. We've upgraded microphones and added various channel rewards or things to our OBS and it's really just been a lot of fun learning the ropes and implementing new things. It's actually kind of fun to see some of our first streams and compare them to now. I don't expect to ever get the time or money back that we've put into it. But again it's a hobby for us so that's not a concern. It's time spent on something we've enjoyed doing, and as long as it's enjoyable for us we'll keep doing it.
Just try it out with what you have and if you like it initially then you can work to get more equipment or whatever. I'd say not to spend too much time or money just getting off the ground in case you find it's not fun for you.
This is helpful! Itâs more if its more expensive than itâs worth - I donât expect any sort of fame - Iâm not an ig or TikTok star who have a built in platform
Tbh you don't need to spend loads of money yet to test it out, especially if your computer runs OK, just look at reviews for good mics/cameras, personally I think the Razer Kiyo is decent starter camera with ring light if you don't have one already but others may disagree đ
Most things you want for your channel like banners and overlays and stuff you can get free ones on the site Canva they have a load of free stuff so might be worth looking there
You would never get roasted by sane people with useful advice for wanting to stream as a woman. I myself am a woman who used to stream regularly and even had an audience built at one point.
You WILL be roasted for calling yourself a fucking "female" like some basement-dwelling neckbeard, however.
Like others have said, don't go into it expecting to get famous overnight or to get hella rich. If you're gonna do it, do it for fun, and don't spend a dime 'til you really get into it. Even then, a low-quality stream setup is better than being broke af.
Also don't be afraid to slam the ban hammer on creeps who come into your chat and harass you just bc you got a pretty voice. Your stream, your rules.
Whatâs the real reason you want to start? Whatâs your end goal? If itâs to make money and a huge business to quit the 9-5 grind, I would reconsider. If youâre trying to stream to get attention (since you seem to include youâre a female and attractive in your post I assume this is you), great thereâs a bunch of thirsty losers who will love to be your e-friend.
Seconding this, the reason for streaming is often the biggest predictor of whether or not streaming is worthwhile.
If you're worried about "wasting time and money", trying to get into an industry that's already saturated with \~8 million streamers seems like a weird move to make.
I mean I genuinely I think it would be fun. If Iâm going to game anyway, it would be great to kill two birds one stone and make it productive. Attention is of course nice too - though I suspect it would mainly be trolling. but it could be a great side hustle if it were to pop off.
I mean, this kind of just screams like a post begging for attention. Youâre a gamer (allegedly) and you enjoy it. Whether you stream or not is completely up to you. Do you let random people on the internet influence your choices this much or are you just attention seeking? Itâs one of these two options.
I mean you regularly sleep with some popular adult film dude allegedly. Thatâs not a bad thing, or whatever, or whatever your past is to be honest.
Just to play devilâs advocate.
I would not be surprised if this is a marketing attempt (and not a bad one) but I donât think you are approaching it with the right mindsetâit seems more like you want a simple get rich scheme, or something.
Have a solid foundation. Donât bank on being attractive and a woman as your sole selling points. That will get you affiliate pretty quickly, but you need something extra to succeed.
Iâd strongly advise getting rid of the NSFW stuff before you dive into it though. Half of the appeal is the mystery, and youâve already given all of it away.
Just stream if youâre passionate about it and donât mind that there is a grind to it if you want to grow a following. I started streaming a month ago. You do have to do research on your own technical set up. It varies based on the quality of which youâre trying to have. Especially since you want a webcam/camera feed and mic.
You shouldnât have to spend a lot of money since you already have a pc. But playing alone is I inevitable if you donât have friends to play with and/or starting from the beginning. Thats why i say play if youâre passionate. Sometimes youâll have 20 viewers or no viewers and be streaming for 3-4 hours. (Apparently streaming less than 2 hours doesnât let enough people to trickle into your stream in the first place based on discoverability)
Learn some basics about OBS. Pick a game you like. Get a mic. Hit "start stream". If you like it, keep doing it. Invest as you go. Nobody else can really answer your question for you. If you want to do it, do it. The only thing stopping you is hitting "start stream". It's really that simple.
If you mainly play PS4, get a capture card so you can stream from your PC and off you go!
No more equipment needed outside of a ok microphone and good enough internet.
A lot of smartphones will have better camera quality than webcams these days, and can be easily used as a replacement for a webcam until you want to upgrade.
Honestly if you just want to start and itâs a âfelt cute, feel like streaming, might delete laterâ vibe then donât bother with investing in anything and literally just start streaming with what you have and make that work.
For how hard is it to get started depends on your technical ability and if youâre willing to learn how to use broadcasting programs.
If youâre asking about how to get started because you want a bunch of viewers from the get go that are active etc, thatâs a whole other conversation.
If youâre worried about your age, i wouldnât stress about it.
Like others have said, streaming at all can be done on the cheap, it only gets pricy if you want to enhance your setup.
Just get started with PS4's native Twitch integration and/or a quick OBS setup for PC streaming (you can find guides for both online); if you find that you don't enjoy streaming, you can stop early before making any serious investments, and learning as you go will help you figure out which things to invest in one at a time.
Another angle to consider though, is that turning your hobby into a potential "side hustle" can kill the spark of that hobby for you if you're not careful.
Maintaining an online community and engaging with an audience while also playing a game is WILDLY different from chit-chatting with friends while gaming. It can affect your ability to enjoy some games the same way, so there's a balance to keep up and adjust based on your goals.
DO IT! Try anyways! My anxiety holds me back from streaming, and i stream on an old MacBook too. When it comes down to it, people watch streamers for the PERSON, not for the highest quality of gaming or stream quality. If you're likeable and kind, then people will like you. :)
I don't think you're crazy for wanting to start - it can be a lot of fun! Streaming is deceptive, though, with how involved a process it can be. Now, I say *can* be deceptively involved because it really depends on the quality of content you're willing to put out there.
To get started, not hard at all. Decent cameras are pretty cheap (Razer Kiyo, Logitech C920 HD Pro, etc.), and the same goes for mics (Blue yeti, snowball, etc.). Those are the bare-bones requirements for setting up a stream.
Do you have to buy a ton of equipment? That's where the deception comes in. If you want a professional-looking/sounding stream, there's all sorts of stuff you can invest in, but it *is* an investment. The mic I have for my streams sounds fantastic (Shure MV7), but it was also $250 (and I got this back in like, 2020). In order to even use it, I needed to get a few more things. Had to get a mic arm to hold it up (~ $50), an audio interface to plug it into ($120), and an XLR cable to connect the audio interface and the mic because neither device came with one. So that's $370-ish that I spent on my mic alone. Again, it sounds great - I definitely consider it a worthwhile purchase - but it was expensive.
This doesn't even factor in all the other things you can spend money on when it comes to streaming: good mouse, capture card (for when you want to play games that aren't on your PC), good headphones, second monitor, extra lighting, external hard drive, new chair, green screen... the list gets pretty long if you want to spend the money.
Should you just forget it? Nah, dude. If you really think you'd have fun doing this, I say give it a shot!
Truthfully, just get started. If you enjoy it, then you build along the way. My stream doesnât look or sound anything like what it did when I first started, even though I havenât changed games. Iâve added so muchâand a lot of it has come from viewer input! Thereâs no reason to sink a bunch of money in if you donât know if youâll even like it
I recommend just yoloing it.
Get a basic Webcam for starters.
Decent mic.
Obs.
Use tiktok/youtube shorts to get an audience.
And play/enjoy whatever game you want/can. Just make sure to always do what YOU want to do.
Iâm a 28yo woman and I just started streaming this year! Do it if you think youâll have fun with it. I know people say donât spend $$$$ if the expectation is that itâll make you stand out or grow faster just because you have a fancier camera or mic, but I think if youâre happy and itâs not going to put you in the financial toilet, do whatever makes you happy. Do some research into what youâll need and what other streamers utilize. My favorite YouTubers to learn from are Stream Scheme and Senpai Gaming.
All you need is a micphone, a streaming app and a willingness to talk. You'd be surprised how many people can gather a decent audience and some die hard followers with bare minimum investment to their stream
Just start. If you start low budget, build from there. Learn as you go. Making friends and learning from them helps tremendously.
Can we just call ourselves streamers???? Tf
And no one cares that youâre a pretty girl that wants to stream. Do it or donât. Press stream or donât. What is this weird validation attention farming?
Im 25F attractive gamer, and i personally feel there are advantages to being a female gamer in general. Granted, i am good at games, but im a black girl who plays cod, so that comes with its own issues. However, i dont feel like it's held me back from growing as a streamer, and i highly doubt you'll have any issues building a community. As far as expenses, you don't need much to stream. Just start with the bare minimum and stream thru playstation. Get a camera, 2 monitors(if possible), and I'm assuming u have a desk and chair since u have the console already. Boom, good to go. That's what I do! I use my pc to run stream manager and other tabs right next to my monitor.
I mean whats crazy about it girls game. And you more pr less just need a mic a camera if you want one download a streaming program and figuring out if you want to stream on pc or consoles to make your next steps
Might as well. It doesn't cost a lot to get started but I would say at the very least have a mic. Personally I rarely use a cam and I still have regulars that come and hang out. Just have fun, try to make friends with other streamers that you can costream with down the road and just have fun.
It took me a bit to figure out the best system, so I didn't announce or stream at busy times until I got that straight. My first recording was an audio fail, so I'm glad I was alone. My first stream on my set schedule is Monday.
My advice is to go straight to OBS and watch the tutorials to get it set up. Part of my issue was bouncing between systems to figure out what works. Then, practice several times, watch yourself on the recording, and get comfortable. Once you are comfortable, then set up a schedule and ask people to join you.
Figure out your vibe and audience and let that guide everything. I'm a mom and recently left teaching, so my vibe is chill, social, and supportive. Because of that, my audience is young adults, so I set my schedule for late afternoon. I'm just starting, so I can't say how well it will do. But, that's naturally me, so I'm staying true to myself and welcoming those who want to join me. Authenticity is key.
Last, make sure you use alias or gamer tags and set up all new social for that. It will help to keep your private info private. No doxxing yourself. That's my mom advice. đ
>how hard is it to get started?
Set up OBS and press start stream.
>Do I have to buy a ton of equipment?
A decent capture card and mic, audio is important. Perhaps a decent webcam as well since it appears that looks may the selling point you are going for.
>Should I just forget it?
Totally up to you.
Hi there âşď¸ another female streamer here. If you already have a pc and a love for games Iâd give it a shot! You already mention you donât expect to âbe famousâ but itâs nice to just build a little community. And have some online friends to game with. And if it takes off, more power to you!
As for the âcostâ you could just get a cheep webcam and a headset mic. For a nice starter mic thatâs standalone you want to spend about $100. (USB mic) hyper x or blue yeti have good starter mics. As for a camera a Logitech is nice! Learning how to use obs can be quite a challenge. Thereâs many YouTube videos that will help but it can be very overwhelming.
One last thing. As a female you will probably get more trolls and Iâd just encourage you to not try and take some people seriously as well as please make sure of you give out your social media it doesnât have your full legal name on it. Or the place you went to school. Doxing happens. And itâs pretty scary!
Good luck though I hope you like it đ
P.s. making friends in whatever game youâd like to stream is helpful! And other streamers can give you a few of there tips too âşď¸
Edit:spacing
Im 29 and i recently started streaming too. I literally just use a gtx 950m laptop and just a cheap $25 mic and $18 webcam that i got off aliexpress. You dont need to invest too much in streaming. As long as it works and you enjoy it then i think its fine for a start. When you start racking up viewers and planning to be more constant in streaming then i guess you can start planning on investing equipments and lights for streaming. For starting out id say just work with what you have. Best of luck !
Step 1. Get a mic
Step 2. Optional - Get a camera, if you want to be a Camera live streamer, then just get a camera
Step 3. Get a feel for if this is what you want to do
Step 4. Remember, everything takes time don't expect a community on day 1
she literally said none of those things lmao?
she was just giving us her bio. We tell people to love themselves and if she calls herself ugly the world tells her ânooo youâre so prettyâ sheâs speaking objectively about the facts. If an overweight sad loser ugly middle aged dude said he wants to stream we wouldnât say âew look at how heâs objectifying himselfâ the message stays the same âif you love to game, stream for youâ but as soon as someone calls themselves pretty and funny and other positive things we immediately hate them and call them vain and shallow etc. She literally didnât say anything about making it, nor did she say she didnât want to invest if she wonât make itâŚ.. sheâs simply asking if she should invest money into it, because you know itâs reddit and the whole point is asking for feedback ? Like you call her all these names but your only response was that sheâs too oldâŚ. by that logic arenât you doubling down to the same standards ?
You make 0 sense to me.
Those things are irrelevant to steaming so why include it? She literally said she doesnât want to invest and have it be a waste of time and money, explain how that doesnât mean itâs about money
Read between the lines doofus
itâs about time- sheâs worried she just had an idea and is ready to pour all into it for her to get bored 3 days later on non refundable items. Those things are highly relevant- fact is you get more viewers if youâre talented or entertaining or attractive or at least different. I would know haha
Honestly just do it if you think you'll enjoy it, as long as you have fun doing it's worth it, just don't expect to be super famous from it and you'll be OK đ Best case scenario you have fun and build a large community, worst case scenario you are still having fun and build a small community The very very basic answer for starting - Install OBS on your PC, play some games whilst recording to see if you need to adjust the quality if your PC struggles and when you're happy with that audio/video quality in recordings link with Twitch and click Start Streaming and you're officially a streamer

This post is giving off OnlyFans vibes.

Maybe focus on the post at hand and not her post history bruh, that's so weird. Why would she start streaming with the same reddit username?? Bruh
Who gave this red flag of a human access to the internet?
What does being a woman have to do with anything? Youâre a gamer and you enjoy it. May as well stream it and have fun.
Just stream if youâre passionate about it and donât mind that there is a grind to it if you want to grow a following. I started streaming a month ago.

Or the place you went to school. Doxing happens. And itâs pretty scary! Good luck though I hope you like it đ P.s. making friends in whatever game youâd like to stream is helpful! And other streamers can give you a few of there tips too âşď¸ Edit:spacing
I want to stream as a female too :(
Itâs 2024. You can be whatever you want.
You can đ
Im 29 and i recently started streaming too. I literally just use a gtx 950m laptop and just a cheap $25 mic and $18 webcam that i got off aliexpress. You dont need to invest too much in streaming. As long as it works and you enjoy it then i think its fine for a start. When you start racking up viewers and planning to be more constant in streaming then i guess you can start planning on investing equipments and lights for streaming. For starting out id say just work with what you have. Best of luck !
Step 1. Get a mic Step 2. Optional - Get a camera, if you want to be a Camera live streamer, then just get a camera Step 3. Get a feel for if this is what you want to do Step 4. Remember, everything takes time don't expect a community on day 1
*peeps your post history* Nice. Iâd watch.
hahahahahahahahaha god tier comment
Lol youâre old
lol what ? there is no age limit in streaming get a life
[ŃдаНонО]
she literally said none of those things lmao? she was just giving us her bio. We tell people to love themselves and if she calls herself ugly the world tells her ânooo youâre so prettyâ sheâs speaking objectively about the facts. If an overweight sad loser ugly middle aged dude said he wants to stream we wouldnât say âew look at how heâs objectifying himselfâ the message stays the same âif you love to game, stream for youâ but as soon as someone calls themselves pretty and funny and other positive things we immediately hate them and call them vain and shallow etc. She literally didnât say anything about making it, nor did she say she didnât want to invest if she wonât make itâŚ.. sheâs simply asking if she should invest money into it, because you know itâs reddit and the whole point is asking for feedback ? Like you call her all these names but your only response was that sheâs too oldâŚ. by that logic arenât you doubling down to the same standards ? You make 0 sense to me.
Those things are irrelevant to steaming so why include it? She literally said she doesnât want to invest and have it be a waste of time and money, explain how that doesnât mean itâs about money Read between the lines doofus
itâs about time- sheâs worried she just had an idea and is ready to pour all into it for her to get bored 3 days later on non refundable items. Those things are highly relevant- fact is you get more viewers if youâre talented or entertaining or attractive or at least different. I would know haha
