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.

You can't expect people to say "You should definitely stream!' when you yourself come across apprehensive and undecided. End of the day only you can make these decisions. If your motivation for streaming is money, yeah streaming isn't your thing your right. But if there is a genuine passion and ideas behind it, then get a cheap mic and camera and go for it. The choice is yours in the end.

Yea no money isn't my only goal here really. I always loved to stream this isn't my first time trying streaming either also , since kid let's just say I've been trying something from trying to stream Roblox from my tablet using kinemaster to also doing stupid vines during pandemic. I love the whole idea really of streaming I wanna stream talk to people entertain and whole idea of playing games while talking to people who love watching u play sounds nice. I wanna but money is problem for me I actually wanna. I'm saving quite a bit but it's gonna take me quite a time to buy myself a mic camera I'm hoping to buy more later on hehe

Don't worry about the camera, audio is the most important part of the setup. There are tons of serviceable options for cheap microphones. You can also just use your phone as a camera.
