What do I need if I’m streaming via a PC? The outcome is quite basic in terms of broadcast quality, so you’ll probably want to move on fairly quickly. Yes, if you have an Xbox One or PS4 and a broadband internet connection you can stream games without any other specialist equipment. “I have a lot of fun playing games in weird and unexpected ways and making people laugh.” Streaming is also a complex technical endeavour that teaches you about broadcasting software, lighting and making lots of different pieces of hardware work together. “I grew up as a theatre kid, so I’ve always been attracted to the performative aspect of streaming,” says Freeman. It’s fun! You get to share your love of games, meet other people who like the same things as you and show off a bit, too.
Making people laugh … game developer and Twitch streamer Nina Freeman.
To help out, I spoke to several highly experienced streamers: Clare Siobhan is a YouTuber with 1.75m subscribers who also streams on Twitch Nina Freeman is a game developer and Twitch streamer ex-professional Call of Duty player Ben Perkin presents Xbox On on YouTube and streams as Benn圜entral Gav Murphy is a video editor and presenter with RKG Mollie plays The Sims on YouTube and Twitch as The EnglishSimmer and Mary Kish is a streamer and head of community marketing at Twitch. If you or your children are thinking of joining them, here’s a quick guide to getting started. Every month, almost four million people use Twitch to broadcast themselves playing video games and most of them don’t expect to become millionaires as a result. But it’s not just about the big names making big bucks. Last year, more than 740m of us watched gaming streams on Twitch, YouTube and other platforms, with superstar streamers such as Ninja, Tfue and Pokimane attracting many millions of adoring fans. B eing a “gamer” used to mean actually playing video games, but now watching other people play is almost as important.
