Become a streamer on Twitch by choosing the best equipment! PC, microphone, webcam… We are here today to reveal all its advice and tips!

 

Let's get started!

 

How to get started on Twitch?

You have created your Twitch channel, and you want to get into wild lives? Whether you already have a YouTube gaming channel with a community of subscribers, or whether you are a pure neophyte, you will need a minimum of equipment to stream correctly.

 

What equipment do I need to stream on Twitch

Before hoping to become a reputable influencer, capable of attracting a large number of viewers with each live stream, or even a champion of affiliation and affiliate links, you must be able to broadcast your stream in good quality, without cut. For this, it will be necessary to invest in equipment to stream effectively on Twitch. We will focus here on the hardware. But don't forget that you will also need to install good streaming software and, of course, the Twitch mobile or desktop apps! You must also have a stable, high-speed Internet connection. For live streaming in high definition, the minimum bit rate is 3.5 Mbps. Having the fiber is the ideal, in the matter. You can even add a router to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

 

Hardware for streaming on Twitch

To perfectly master your Twitch, it is best to opt for a PC. Macs are poorly suited to video games, and in particular to their live broadcasting. For a channel moving away from gaming, a Mac remains a viable option, but it remains less flexible than a PC. On the other hand, if you simply want to host a video game-oriented Twitch channel, you can settle for a home console and a TV. A PlayStation (4 or 5) or an Xbox (One or Series) is enough to stream, without adding any hardware. If you want to interact with your community, you'll need to add a mic and headset, and possibly a camera. In this case, be careful to choose a camera compatible with your console (especially with a PS4 or PS5).
