That definitely needs to be higher, I use 3000 for 720. Here is a bit of a guide on what you should be using for different settings on different sites... https://restream.io/blog/what-is-a-good-upload-speed-for-streaming/
Looks great! What light/phone holder do you use? Been playing with the idea of using my iPhone as a webcam. Also, check out https://www.touch-portal.com it turns any iOS or Android device into a stream deck more or less.

My first recommendation is to get one of these. It’s great! Just plug in any kind of microphone in the first port (it can take a condenser mic, dynamic mic, or an electret mic like the one on your headset). Then get an external sound card and connect the sound output to the second or third plug on the back. The reason for having an external sound card is so that you don’t end up with coil whine from the internal sound card. Finally, connect the output to the microphone input on the afore mentioned external sound card. Then you just change the audio output on the computer to the external sound card, and the input in your streaming software to the input on the external sound card. And then you can hook up other things to the other inputs like your phone (over Bluetooth) for music, a sound board, voice chat, etc.
Now you can control all of your audio levels easily! And even better, the mixer has a monitor that you can plug the input of your headset into so you can hear exactly what it sounds like! And as an added bonus, if you don’t want to buy an external sound card, this can act as one via a USB plug in.

I built a green screen, and I use one of these lights as the key light, with this softbox with my ceiling light as backlight, and it's actually almost too bright, but doesn't look too bad on stream. With a few tweaks in OBS soon it should look better. but that setup is barely over $20 and you get two lights and the softbox, so it's not a bad deal.
Pretty sure it's these ones. Just cheap and nasty, but as a beginner, I'm not fussed. Gotta start somewhere and I don't wanna blow hundreds on a light that might achieve the same thing.
Honestly they're pretty bloody good. As long as you have desk space and 2 free USB slots
I used the : Compass Boom Arm.

Bluestacks is a legit website provided you get it from the right place, here is where to download the latest Bluestacks version. I use this emulator for mobile games a lot in my own time!
So, I sorta cheat and use a lot of my journal prompts to talk about, for example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1452105448/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_24S7E4WX6PT7DMMDA8A6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Or I use Story of My Life Journals and use those prompts.
I am not sure what one I got, but something like this would work

USB 3 can handle more data cuz it operates at a higher transfer speed. Just make sure the port on your computer is also USB 3 or you will be limited anyway.
Might be able to find these adapters at a Best Buy or electronics store as well.

There are a few things right, first it seems that you’ve just started out so it’s gonna take sometime before getting an audience, that’s just a fact.
Also from watching a bit of the vod I noticed you speak very little, that works for some people but in my taste speaking more probably helps
That brings me to my next point. The microphone. If you have an extra USB port to use (or can remove something else) I’d recommend getting the fifine t669.
Obviously I can’t link to my content for you to hear the sound but if you wanna hear it it’s in my profile.

I hope this helps you out, just keep grinding and it’ll get better!:D
For a good starting microphone I would recommend this one. A ring light is a pretty good idea if you don’t have good lighting in your recording/streaming space. If you can’t afford that I recommend this cheaper one that I use myself. A green screen isn’t necessary but if you prefer not having your recording space behind you then yeah go ahead and get one. OBS will often work better than SLOBS, but SLOBS is a bit more user friendly sometimes. That’s mostly up to preference.

It might just need an active extension. Which is just a fancy way of saying it repeats the signal so the strength stays up over the distance. I was having issues with my Logitech brio. And c922 with extensions. But yea here is the cable I used most should work if it’s active but this brand for some reason works better with my Logitechs specifically.
