Debating on starting up twitch streaming...but I'm really nervous about it :/ I don't have a camera or anything at this point. And I am worried I'd be very awkward.
I'm awkard always but I do it. Started a few months back. Got like 70 followers. It's been a lot of fun, and I'm super shy and introverted.
chiyoselona: That's really cool! I don't have a camera yet. Been looking at some, but I deffo want to go budget right now but not sure on which to get.
I had gotten a cheap one on Amazon. Good enough.
it's a Logi one. sits on top of my monitor
chiyoselona: Can I ask which one you got? I was looking at the Logitech C922x and a ring light because ALL my lighting is behind me.
yeah I have a light too. prob a ring one. it's in a circle
my lighting is above and behind me so yeah
then I use Streamlabs OBS. it's easy to use and free
I did download obs earlier. It seems easy enough. Just scared, I guess.
yeah I was super scared too
once I got going I was like oh shit this is fun
chiyoselona: That's what I'm hoping! And it gives me a reason to wear makeup while I stay inside all of the time for forever xD
lol same. it's the only time I put on makeup these days
chiyoselona: It'd be the same for me tbh.
then just make sure your room looks tidy. you don't have to go all out
you say hi if people show up. maybe chat them up.
talk through what you're doing
chiyoselona: Yeah, I gotta get the camera and see what it sees, then figure out where to go from there. But yeah. Makes sense.
some viewers want to play with you and it's fun. up to you on how to manage that and if you want to play with them
chiyoselona: True, true. One person I watch, she plays DBD a LOT and almost always with her community. Folks have a lot of fun.
yeah a bunch of people will jump on streams of smaller channels so they actually have a chance to chat or play with
chiyoselona: Totally can understand that. And I have friends that would play with me as well, add some fun chatter on the stream.
so you'd be fine then
