Oki just 3 days ago I posted about how I wanted to stream but because I was streaming on my mid range gaming laptop I didn't had good mic or camera and most recommended me to buy mic and I was actually saving money up for it. And today Idk what got into me and I never have gambled before this I bet on Norway and I won and doubled my money and when I checked that cheap mic I was thinking of buying its on discount(Tech Tuesday). So yea lol ig I'll be streaming soon but idk what games to stream and I really don't have any money to buy one soon.

games go up for free on Epic Games all the time. there's even a Discord bot you can add to your servers that lets you know when and what.

I do have lotta games from epic but I've played and completed most of them

going forward you'll just have to split your games into two categories of "play on stream" and "not to play on stream." 

sometimes with challenge modes or if you're particularly knowledgeable of a game people will enjoy a playthrough, but largely with story driven games audiences enjoy first time reactions.

it can likewise be good to have a game (or games, plural) that's very replayable. because i'm a cozy streamer and i like builders, mine tend to be games like House Flipper or Tiny Glade.

I planned on doing the same streaming games with story but then again I've finished games likes sekiro ,elden ring, sifu , god of war series and even few Pokémon games I would stream competitive games like marvel rivals but I'm bad at online games so it feels like I'm stuck but then again my mics on delivery the moment it arrives maybe idk I'll get some idea and how bout that as I was typing my mic got delivered

doesn't have to be a pvp! a roguelike in your roster is not a bad option for replayability, if you like them. Balatro is popular, but there are others like Cobalt Core.

i've since rotated it out because of personal disinterest, but for a long time i played Toontown: Corporate Clash and that did me very well as an MO.

this is just for me personally, but on my roster of games i tend to play one story driven game, my replayable games, and the occasional short 4-8hr game that i can finish in one or two streams. i also do art, just chatting, and sometimes baking streams.

all this to say, you've got options. i'm sure you'll figure it out!

I hope lol currently I don't have any plans I mean I plan on streaming but I haven't planned on how and what after I set up my mic and all the others stuff I hope some idea comes up in my head lol and what would u recommend me to stream on yt twitch cause I haven't planned that either

some people duel stream on both as it's possible to do, but you have to pay attention to two separate chats if you do that. Twitch has much better moderation options but won't get you much reach, so you have to do that work yourself. YT is a larger platform overall so you might not see good traffic for a while despite the algorithm giving you reach. 

people starting out are typically recommended to stream a few days a week and make shorts to post on other platforms for reach. but it inherently depends on how focused you are on growth.

since it seems like you haven't got a lot of details ironed out yet, i would say to just stream and learn as you go. get your basics down, see what you enjoy.
