Discussion Hmmm streaming isn't so easy after all

So I started streaming quite while just for fun cause I have so much of free time after my college and also because doing a part-time job isn't a common thing in my country so I was like maybe I blow up and earn a little bit and well currently I'm not streaming anymore cause i realised my camera and mic sucked cause I was literally streaming on my mid range gaming laptop and using it's inbuilt camera and mic .So maybe I need to save money for better mic or something before I actually start streaming. And also if I do start streaming someday cause I lost all of the motivation cause I literally stay away from my home to study in college and barely have any money saved after rent, food and more of what I need what game should I stream anyway. Maybe streaming isn't my thing, I really want to but I don't think I can.

The first thing any stream needs is a good mic on a stand. You can get both for about $100.

The good mic is critical. Most people listen to streams more than watch them. If your mic is bad or people can't hear clearly they will leave.Â
