@Badr Ahmed He probably assumes you're already have a PC capable of playing whatever game you want to stream. My brother mostly streams older games on emulators and just recently set up his EasyCap (or rather I set it up since it ended up being a major pain in the ass) so he can stream Melee. He could probably stream some newer games at lower resolutions. Linus also didn't mention internet which can be a problem or capture cards. What kind of internet to get is too complex a question for this type of video, it depends on how many people are using the network, what kind of quality you want, and what's available in your particular situation. In our case we live in a condo and the best options available for internet are not all that great because even if we paid for a higher tier we basically bandwidth share with everyone in the complex plus a ton of fast food restaurants that are almost certainly on the same cable networks (with cable and phone internet you actually share with everyone on the same main cable or phone line as you). We also don't have the option for fiber here (fiber is faster and more direct which reduces latency but it requires fiber network lines which are often unavailable for condo/apartment buildings). Capture cards are also complex because it depends on what you're capturing, what kind of OS support you need, and what quality you're willing to put up with. Easy cap can do 480p from composite or a little bit higher from S-Video but getting it to work on Windows 10 involves buying the unit (my brother got his years ago and just never set it up), finding out what the actual hardware for the unit is (there's like 10 different variations), and finding (if you're lucky) compatible firmware. Even then you may have to do some modifications to keep the dang thing cool because most if not all of them will cook themselves.

Well if you include the phone that really is what you need, though you can try lowering it to around $200 total. People are missing the fact this relies on already having a camera.

What would also be great to compliment this video is another where you go over software on the cheap/beginner stage.

And something for those of us who can't afford Premiere, but want to make content and don't know what to use or do. A "Software for Media Creation 101" of sorts, y'know?

*Oh I'm just concerned with streamers who create/receive a ton of drama, then tell biased stories to their fans to convince them to harass their opposition on-stream. These last few years, it has caused a lot of issues for a lot of streamers, and the "Just leave if you can't handle it bro" argument really offers nothing for the Streamer. When this drama spreads across social media into Their daily lives yet they KEEP streaming it's because it's their source of Income, and they keep putting themselves in front of a camera for people to comment hate or call them names, and the Streamer keeps saying things back, the drama continues until some authority like Twitch has to use ITS power to delete the Streamer's channels/content and force them off, to the detriment of the streamer's mental health, OR the streamer takes a leave of absence due to all the pain they received along the way.* I would prefer it if a new streamer never has to endure such pain, so I'd rather they learn how to communicate with "social etiquette" than wait until something truly cruel, dramatic and life-altering happens to them.*

I've been using a clamp light with LED bulb and parchment paper diffuser for WebEx conferences during work-from-home. An old desk lamp bounced off a wall on my other side adds a fill light. One thing to note: if you do use incandescent/halogen as mentioned, they will get quite hot and wax paper may not be the best diffuser depending on how close to the bulb you attach it. Parchment paper for cooking works just as well and it's meant to withstand oven temps so as long as it's not sitting directly on a hot halogen for extended periods it may be preferable to wax paper. Also, if you're more concerned with conferencing than streaming, a headset (even the old wired cell phone one you had from before OEMs lost their collective mind) will make a huge difference in avoiding background noise and preventing echo in conferences. People who use laptop mic/speakers are the bane of my existence and even for recording or streaming a headset mic has a better pickup pattern than the one on your phone, webcam, or laptop.

[@BryceGoodson]

As someone with thousands in the bank I still like to save money, and years old mostly outdated experience streaming this is a pretty legit guide for getting started. The phone trick for video is pretty cool and unexpected.

[@jamescanjuggle]

out of all the videos out there this one hit the mark. the first thing to do when starting something new is to get started with what you have!

[@imadragon916]

Even this is too expensive for me lol this looks like a great setup

[@liquidsoftpc]

One thing that linus forgot: You need to have a decent internet connection.. Preferably above 25 Mbps. if not too bad for you. *Edit* why 25? remember you are not the only one using the internet in your house. unless you are paying for your own internet

[@pronounjow]

25 Mbps UPLOAD

[@aaronmorrow4957]

Be sure to get and one with a good upload speed as well! A 25mbps plan that only has a 2mbps upload is gonna suck. Look for at least 10mbps upload so twitch can stream at 6mbps and still have some headroom.

[@gorkskoal9315]

so don't live in the US. where 100megz downz is good en stufz and 56.6k upz iz teh bestz. Meen while just about about every other country is going to gigabyte speed.

[@mechanicallydev4536]

Actually you don't... to stream at 720p 30fps Twitch recommends using 3000kbps of bitrate, so about 3mbps of upload. Since you need it to be stable, I would recomend at least 5mbps of upload. Even to stream at 1080p60 at 8000kbps bitrate (the max bitrate that twitch accepts) you wouldn't need 25mbps of upload.

@@gorkskoal9315 There are a lot of places that don't have an option to get anything even that fast. I think Australia is one of them if I remember correctly.

dide linus, i frickn love you. you finally start to get into your real low budget audience. i like to watch your videos bc i like to see things i probably not afford in my life, like 16k gaming lol. but this video actually made me cry when i saw i can start streaming inside my budget

[@zaraaa4637]

dude you are awesome 🥺 ive been trying to find videos like this but with such a low budget

[@mmaharshi3516]

You didn't talk about how not to stutter while streaming. Edit : Damn, sht went wrong real fast. I am talking about my stupid mouth.

[@jonnathan780]

In all reality and you are trying to make your hardware work without affording any upgrades, If you use a Intel CPU, using QuickSync encoding is a massive plus, should get nearly no performance hit while being able to stream/encode video. If not both amd and Nvidia have their own Hardware encoding methods that shouldnt affect performance much at all. Most lag from streaming on lower end systems come from the user trying to software encode (x264) from their processor which is just usually just not strong enough.

[@pravda9646]

...well, a good CPU. That's sort of expensive but if you're planning to be a streamer you gotta make money somehow, and your CPU will pay for itself

[@WirrWicht]

@Trump p and @Pravdax M: are you two sure he is talking about hardware performance?....

What is "OBS" in reference to the Android video streaming app?

[@soyjakchud]

It’s a free recording and streaming software that is actually really good and i totally recommend it. It’s one of the best options for recording/streaming so just search up “OBS Studio” and download it on the official site.

On iOS, you can just download the free app “NDI HX Camera” and use it over USB into OBS with no other software needed-at least on MacOS.
