MidnightCJ Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've set up a Twitch account and did a couple of live streams on it through my PS4, but obviously they were non-commentated because I didn't have the hardware for it. However, I am living off of Social Security so I can't afford to spend a lot of money on fancy software without hand-me-outs from my parents(who were generous enough to pay $148 for my education but NOT that generous ) so I would like to know what would be the bare minimum you need to get your voice on a live stream and how I could attract some people to watch it. I don't want to be too famous but I would like the friends I have in the forum to check out my game play from time to time. (Also, if this is the wrong forum for this topic, please feel free to move it. I assumed that since this is about live streaming, it would belong in the PC thread.)

Mesopithecus Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) I believe you can just use a microphone or USB headset to add commentary to your live streams, so it's however much you want to spend on a headset. As for attracting an audience, maybe put your Twitch account in your signature so people can go view any streams and subscribe, or if you're about to stream you can write a status update and link to your stream (I've seen a few people do that here) Edited August 16, 2017 by Mesopithecus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightCJ Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks! I'll try to spring for a USB headset and link my Twitch channel into my signature when I am ready to do an actual live stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr4de_04 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If u have a ps4 camera with mic that works jsut fine too. i have one and streamed sometimes (not anymore though) and works jsut fine. if u get it second hand u can probably get it for 5 to 10 euros/dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
