theres actually a kinda kit that has that mic, but it also has a mic arm, a shock mount(I believe) and a pop filter(again, I think) and some other stuff.

120hz will depend on your resolution which you didn’t mention. I’m assuming 1440p is your goal. The only issue I ran into with this switch is that I forgot my monitor did not have HDMI 2.0.

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50X are fantastic headphones in general, they are cheap enough to get started into some studio level audio equipment. The headphones are super comfy enough to work in and they sound pretty great. They are always on sale for 100-150 so I hope you can find it cheaper than I linked.
If you’re up for a software + mobile device solution there’s an early access application coming that has a sound board and much more. https://store.steampowered.com/app/840160
But if you’re looking for a more specific thing to play music with predefined samples, like creating actual music etc then it might not work entirely. But it’s under development so if it’s something people might find useful maybe it’ll be added.
I recommend using this software:
https://github.com/LorenzCK/OnTopReplica
It creates a copy another window (you can open more than one instance of the program) and you can crop it until all you need to see (the chat, recent events, etc) are at the size you need them.
It should take you some 20 minutes tops to get everything adjusted, but I also recommend that you try playing a game with it before you stream, so you get used to it.
Welcome to the club, Im actually dropping my Affiliate Status here very soon. I enjoy Multi-Streaming, and after you take the status "Affiliate" you start getting bombarded with pre-roll ads, and it can really hurt viewership. I have just over 100 followers, used to get a regular 5 viwers then now barely 3...1 being myelf watching from another screen for my kids.
Its great your hitting those checkpoints, id push to get much higher viewership. Build that community with A Discord, Youtube Videos and push highlights to a FB Page.
​
I have people on all platforms, and i personally would like the ability to go live on all 3 (Twitch, YT and FB) at the same time. (very easy with StreamLabs OBS Prime or Restream.io) but cannot due to TOS with Twitch Affiliate. (cannot be live on Twitch and others at same time, i can however still stream to FB and YT concurrently, as long as im not live on twitch).
This is just my issue, but others who grinded and got the point they were able to apply with the bare minimum are also getting in the same boat.
keep up the good work, stay positive!
I'd suggest trying out "multi-streaming" to all platforms. You can use a service like Streamlabs OBS Prime or Restream.io . I wish would of known about this when i first started. You may be able to grow on other platforms faster, OR gain a following to bring over to Twitch to keep growing on there.
​
Just a thought.
Student email? With money to burn each month?
Get Premier w/ CC suite
wanna free version?
Get Davinci Resolve
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
Just start editing and playing with stuff. I love Davinci and you can do alot of cool stuff. If you want to do effects then you wanna also get Blender. Blender is a 3D modeling application but i hear you can use it to start compositioning. Then use Davinci to finish composition.
- if you dont want to show your face, use snap camera https://snapcamera.snapchat.com/
- if you have a computer you can stream from, get a $20 hdmi-usb card on ebay or amazon, then use streamlabs to overlay webcam over game
If you want to add more lights, get a cheap flood light or one of these and get a white umbrella like this one. Use them in tandem and you'll be set.
Congrats on your wedding!!
I think the simplest solution would be:
2) Connect your phone to the mounted TV via USB-C to HDMI cable (or similar)
3) FaceTime with officiant!
(Just don’t forget to connect speakers to the TV so everyone can hear the officiant!)
Hope this helps!

Is this the bad boy you’re talking about?
It all depends on what you want, but the best tip is to angle it where you have a clear view of you and a nice background. The background I use is my bed and my wall behind me with framed posters. For lighting, block out natural light unless you really like that. Invest in ring lights if you have the money. But you want to set up what they call a "3 point lighting system" I will give you two links- one for cheap lights you can buy and one for how to set up lighting!
Your only options around that price point are going to be webcams from chinese brands that don't have a lot of information or features about them. I did have one that was slightly more than 60, before i upgraded to a lumix g7. it did the job fairly well, but only with proper lighting involved. Pay no attention to the led light that's built in, it does not provide enough light to do anything for your video.
I can not stress how important lighting is though, because even an expensive camera is going to look terrible without some proper lights on you. I suggest you look up some youtube videos to get some good ideas of where to start on a budget. Hope this helps.

Depending on your budget you can get great usb microphones on Amazon, if you're looking to go a little cheaper there's even an XLR microphone on there for 30-40 dollars which I've linked down below. It won't be fantastic quality by any means however it will be better. If youre looking to continue using your microphone you have now, there won't be much you can do to fix it, but if you're using obs you can go into the microphone settings and add filters for noise and noise gates along with a few other options, that may be able to improve the quality until you get a new one! Hope your streams do well, whats your channel name?
The hyperx mics are really good and also if you order a certain Sega Genesis controller on Amazon it works on PC and then just get an emulator.
for webcam if your just starting streaming use an Android phone if you have it and download droid cam for the phone and just Google droidcam download on your PC, which is the better on for streaming in my opinion.
I'm not a huge streamer by any means but it's one of my biggest dreams to become some kind of personality on twitch or YouTube so I spent hours and hours researching it.
I'll leave a link to the controller in the reply to this comment once I find it(actually here it is https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-Wireless-Controller-8-Button-Original/dp/B07WP2ZYNR)
Also if your using the droidcam you will need to set your audio device to your mic manually because it goes to the phone itself
Don’t know where you’re located, but you can get a power supply on amazon for $25(https://www.amazon.com/AC-PW20-Adapter-Coupler-Gonine-Replacement/dp/B01D67LTIK) and CamLink for $130 on BestBuy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/elgato-cam-link-4k-black/6316580.p?skuId=6316580&intl=nosplash) You would also need a micro hdmi to hdmi cable from the camera to the CamLink.
Ok. Have you set up a multi output device in Audio MIDI Setup? If you do that, then you need to make iShowU one of your Auxiliary/Mic's and it should work fine! That's what I did and it worked for me, here's an article that explains everything
No problem. I stream to twitch using a Linux laptop and nginx to take the load off my pc an the quality is great. I understand what you mean. I'm sure there could be some coding for controlling certain push commands with nginx, but I'm not that intelligent lol. Could this be a possibility? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-stream-to-two-locations-or-stream-and-record-at-different-qualities.74/
Hope this helps.
This is a good example of a port replicator. It needs no extra power.
The distance is a matter of loss of quality. Depending on which mic you get, some can reach longer than others.
Also whether multiple mics can operate at once is dependant on the software.
In terms of a mixer you're looking at a few hundred bucks for that and at least a hundred per mic.
Sorry, I didn’t get the notification. I got one from Amazon for about $30. I know it’s cheap but it’s 1080p 60 fps and I used a review checker and it has 4.6 stars. It’s also temporary, I will def be upgrading in the future

I used a GTX 770 up until a few months back because I was waiting for the 3060 to go down in price. I'm impressed how well it help up lol. Also this mic kit, I used it without any sort of filters and it was always quiet, and the arm is really really small. I also used a shitty chair without any sort of upper body/neck support, I ended up replacing the arm and chair because my shoulders were dead by the end of the stream usually
How open would your Mom be for using something like a lectrofan or a similar white noise maker? Or like maybe have a box fan blasting on full outside your door (Make sure you set up sounds filters on your mix) I use a lectrofan and it works great for cutting out city noise. You could also maybe somehow hang a moving blanket kinda like a curtain (or some other sound blanket) over your door to try to insulate the noise, but I heard those sorts of things are more helpful with echo and will only do so much for noise cancelation.
If there's legitimately no room for the green screen, I'm not sure what to advise lol. But I would say that you can probably grab something like this:
And fanangle a way to lie it sideways along your bed, behind your body. It'll take some work to get it lit properly with limited space, but it's likely your best bet!
Alternatively you could get a disc shaped green screen and hang it from your ceiling somehow?
A Ryzen 3 is a little shy of what Twitch recommends for a streaming PC, but I believe if you aren't actually doing anything else on the machine aside from taking in the Switch's video output, you might be able to get by. One thing you'll definitely need for Switch streaming is a capture card. I do alright with a cheap KeeQii, but there's tons of options.
​
I personally would look into an upgrade for the PC as a whole though, even if its an older i5 or i7 Dell desktop that had been used in an office.
I’m renting so I can’t install anything so I used MoCA Ethernet over cable. It works great and I can almost get full GB internet with hardly any work. Obviously running dedicated Ethernet is great too!
at those prices you should look for used stuff on fb marketplace and/or craigslist. Not trying to diss, you can genuinely find great stuff on there if you monitor them for a few weeks. But you won't find anything new that will look/sound good for under ~$100 each.
Take this, Logitech C922 is typical entry level camera that's $70 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Stream-Streaming-Recording-Included/dp/B01MTTMPKT/ref=sr_1_3?crid=9XMU07X0CMKM&keywords=c922&qid=1658703387&sprefix=%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-3
Honestly your best bet is to spend more time getting familiar with the tools for streaming while saving money for items that you actually want instead of just asking strangers for what they tell you to buy.
Just over your budget, but you may want to look into the Fifine K678 or similar model. I've had pretty good success with it! (You can check out my twitch if you wanna hear it in action)
Sure. This is the one I own. Works perfectly fine with bypassing HDCP. So, no need of an extra splitter for the ps3.

I disagree with those saying to stay away from condenser mics. What I don't like is that it's omnidirectional, which means it will pick up your keyboard noise and other undesirable audio.
I use this one that's a USB condenser mic but with a cardioid pattern. Once I tweak some settings in OBS, it sounds pretty good.
What's your budget? There are recommendations out there but can vary widely in cost.
Just checked, this things running for 550 plus tax no where near worth it. If you have that to spend right now i'd save it for a little while longer and buy something a tad better.

It sounds like you’re gonna want something like this.
This is if you want 4 identical headphone outputs. You can try searching for “headphone amps” for more brands and styles if you want.
If you need each pair of headphones to have a different audio mix, you’ll likely need an interface or mixer of some type.

As far as a camera you already have one. We at TXG use a phones, or an iPad as the main camera. Download, and pay for the I can app on android or iOS, and install IVCam for PC. Now you have a wireless camera with a lot of high cost camera functions right off the bat. You can use either the front, or back camera, but in my opinion the front cam gives me the best shot, and access to the camera functions while I stream. Depending on your internet it will never disconnect, and Streamlabs, polypop, and OBS studio recognizes the app as a camera.
Even if I was rich enough to get the camera of my dreams, using my Motorola Stylo 5g as a wireless cam will still be my first choice

This is the card I use for console capture and use a second one for my camera.
Plugged it in, opened OBS, added the source and it just works.
No it doesn’t have to be plugged into a monitor, BUT! There will be lag. The Elgato has a HDMI IN + HDMI OUT (to see what you’re doing) and a USB OUT for capture. You could theoretically plug into your Switch, then just use the capture window in Elgato Capture program to see the console feed. But actually playing will be a chore because of a delay. SO!

Also, don’t know why my comment is getting downvoted. I’m just trying to help…
I had this problem and I got round it by using an hdmi audio extractor.
You plug the switch hdmi into the extractor then pass it through to the capture card. Then you feed the aux from the extractor to the line-in on your left motherboard. Then in Windows you set the line-in to "listen to this device" so you hear it in your ears but doesn't get captured to obs.
Heres the one I bought which has done the job:
SOUTHSKY 4K/30Hz HDMI Audio... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RS5JZRZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I can't provide advice on everything but hopefully I can clear up some info.
> Capture Card ... It must be able to handle 2 streams in 4K to OBS at the same time, it must also be able to choose whether you just want to switch between them. It must be possible to start and end a stream, and pause it with an image on the screen, that you will return in a little while.
You have multiple options of going with one capture card with multiple inputs [like this] or connect multiple capture cards with a single input to your machine.
Outside of inputting video from an external device, a capture card does nothing else. It doesn't pause, it doesn't start streams, etc. That is all handled by the software that you use for streaming like OBS.
> Computer, what does it require of spec. on a PC? CPU, ram, usb standard, how many usb ports, etc. to have 2 4K inputs. I prefer a laptop.
The hardware you need depends on what's intended to be done. Planning on playing games and streaming on the same machine? Or just streaming stuff from a capture card?
I usually recommend against laptops. They are usually more expensive compared to their desktop counterparts, and you will have to contend with heat issues that can slow performance down and may add to annoying background noise like hearing the fans.
If it's just for the facecam and you have a camera with a clean HDMI output you can always try and get one of those cheap generic capture cards.
I have 2 of these, HDMI Capture, and they do the trick. It's 30fps only but for the price you can't go wrong. I would recommend to use a short usb lead with them. If you look around, you might find them for 10$.

Hey man, I was in a pretty similar situation but with an Xbox Series S. I needed an external capture card that allowed me to passthrough 2K at 120 frames per second and this is what I decided on. It works extremely well and I believe it would even work in your instance because you can plug your headset directly into the capture card and then it has a separate cord that would go to your controller. The only drawback for me is that there's no variable refresh rate possible on the pass through which sucks as a competitive cod player, but ultimately this is about as good as it gets without an internal card on a The only drawback for me is that there's no variable refresh rate possible on the pass through which sucks as a competitive cod player, but ultimately this is about as good as it gets without an internal card on a full desktop.

Off brand capture cards work just as well IMO, been streaming for 4 months and I still like this one. P.s. I paid $25 for it because I’d rather invest in a decent mic. Between the mic, cheap camera and cheap capture card my set up cost me around $150 total.

Yeah your'e CPU cannot handle 120fps encoding.
In theory Intel Quick Sync (packaged with the Iris graphics) could handle 1080p 120fps encoding. But just barely. And the software support for QSV hardware encoding on Mac might not be well implemented.
I dont own an Intel Mac anymore so I cant do any testing for you. My 7th gen i7 Windows laptop can do 720p 120fps but it starts dropping a few frames at 1080p. Also, I dont have anyway to input 120fps since my laptop is locked to 60fps. I cant really test if the 120fps is truly 120.
So in conclusion in theory it should be able to but it might not right out of the box. I would try picking up a 120fps capture card like this (https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TUF-Passthrough-Near-Zero-Certified/dp/B096PPYZXV) from Amazon and just give it a shot. If it doesnt work just return it.
I would get OBS and try recording with apple vt 264 hardware encoder and set the canvas framerate to 120. Do a test recording and then watch it back in VLC at 1/4 speed and see. If it looks decent at essentially 30fps then it probably worked. If it tried to record 120fps but it was really actually only 60fps with each frame doubled, then it will very obviously look like 15fps.

It's a separate application, https://restream.io/chat . You download it, connect it to your youtube, and it keeps an application open on your screen that displays your chat. Somewhat customizable. Then you could add it as a window capture in obs - not a browser.
look for a program called JTVPing, it will show you the closest server to you, it might help. Also have a play around with the settings, and experiment. Also OBS has a estimator, https://obsproject.com/estimator so check that out. Might help a bit. Good luck.
I’d start with a speed test at https://www.speedtest.net I think most people say your gonna need at least 4-6gb upload to even consider streaming. Make sure your hardwired to your modem using an Ethernet cable and close any background apps that could be running and bottlenecking your computer. Optimize your OBS, google searched optimized OBS settings for your specific computer. I hope this helps, good luck

Just noticed your original post was about mobile gameplay so my bad, I thought you had a PC when writing that. I found out about these cool things recently, apparently there are dedicated mobile devices with multiple video and usb inputs, if you have the budget it could be worth it depending on how you stream: https://www.amazon.com/YOLOLIV-YoloBox-Portable-Multi-Cam-Streaming/dp/B0987JBMC1
Samson Q2U Dynamic Microphone (USB/XLR) + a cheap boom arm costs less than $100. The microphone alone costs $70 alone so you're getting excellent value with the accessories included (see link below).

Schedule:
The AT2020 is a good microphone. So, yes; you should be able to use it for streaming.
As to Slamming the keyboard keys, depending on your setup, an isolation shield might help block some of the noise. Here is one that I have used: Neewer Tabletop Compact Microphone Isolation Shield with Tripod Stand, Mic Sound Absorbing Foam for Studio Sound Recording, Podcasts, Vocals, Singing, Broadcasting (Mic and Shock Mount Not Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3SX1RL/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_Y4GRYV4SZBP75WSV730Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (I use it for voice overs.)
Lastly, you might look for a keyboard with quieter keys.
Elgato Cam Link 4K — Broadcast Live, Record via DSLR, Camcorder, or Action Cam, 1080p60 or 4K at 30 FPS, Compact HDMI Capture Device, USB 3.0 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K3FN5MR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_PG5Y5XRHH89K0X5X4ADZ
Personally I went and played Krunker.io for a couple months and got affiliate that way. It is a ftp fps game with a end message once every match has finished. This was how I promoted my stream because quite often then not people would stop in and I would get a crazy amount of follows from it.
GOING LIVE: Break out your crayons and colored pencils, because it's time to play some Skribbl.io! Pour your heart into it and get your work put up on the fridge! Well, the metaphorical fridge. I haven't seen a fridge in years.
Your biggest hurdle is video encoding, which can be done via software (and your CPU) or hardware (with your graphics card). Read up on both and find your best option here:

Depends where you live, shadow is quite good for me because I live close to a Datacenter they use, but it depends on your connection, distance, and what type of games you play how usable it is
My trick for such things is getting free trials. I always use Nordvpn and some premium sports streaming site with a free trial or the ones that you can cancel and refund your money. If you don't want to buy Nord, they have 30-day money back guarantee too.

Do you have a webcam? If not, a good one will cost about 70-100$
Do you have a microphone? If not, a good one will cost about 70-120$
Your PC is strong enough to stream, whatever you wanna stream.
It would be a good idea to get a secondary monitor for chat monitoring and everything, doesn't need to be a good one. I'm using my old FHD 42 inch TV as a secondary monitor.
A green screen would be nice to have behind you. 10-30$
Lots of energy. It will cost you a lot more than money.
What you want does exist, but unfortunately is uncommon and therefore more expensive.
One option is to get a device like this that can record to a SD card. What I do is use a laptop with a normal capture card and connect it to my consoles in the living room.
There may be other options that I am not aware of at this moment.
I set up and operate the stream for my church. I use two of the video capture cards I've linked below. They're decent enough. This let's us do a camera and another screen for slides or hymn lyrics. If you get a camera with an HDMI out, you'll be doing just fine. It will probably be a mini HDMI so you'll need a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. For sound board integration, if you can get anything to a 3.5mm cable then the USB sound card I've linked will do the job if you don't have a jack already built into your computer. Right now, we're using an old camera the church had, but they're looking at the Canon Vixia HF G50 or the Panasonic VX870K.

The Speedify Live show airs every Tuesday and/or Thursday at 5 PM EST - live on the Speedify social channels: Twitch, YouTube and Facebook, plus other platforms.
Its goal is to share the experiences and best practices of live streamers from various domains when it comes to streaming gear / equipment and content. And also things to avoid and how to solve various issues associated with live streaming - poor Internet connectivity, etc.
See here the calendar of previous and next events:
you could do those, or one that I bought that is really good and works very well is this 80 dollar mic that I use to this day
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VYJ4TV2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
It's usb, comes with a stand to put on a table, and has great sound quality.
you get what you think is best tho!
I would skip the PC and just do it with a hardware device. A HDMI multi-viewer can take 4 inputs and put them all onto the same output. Something like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24740 is $125. Or this one: https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Viewer-Support-Seamless-Exhibition-Surveillance/dp/B07LCG6BX1
Otherwise you need a 4 capture cards for the PC. A single Elgato HD60 is $129, so that x4. I am also not sure how well that would work. Multiple USB capture device can get odd.
Then you need a 1:2 splitter for each console. Powered splitters work way better than the passive ones. So console into splitter then one out to the local monitor and the other to the multi-viewer. Multi-viewer to the projector with all 4 feeds combined into one output.

The Razer Seiren mini ($50) is a great starter USB mic.
Hmm, I have one of these desk stands for my mic that use a heavy weight since I stream from my couch sometimes. Could that be an option?
Other than getting a new desk, you could look into floor stand options or even mounting something on the wall.
If you're looking for something that'll give you good quality captures, then the Elgato suggested before is good.
If you don't know if streaming is something you want to pursue and aren't comfortable dropping over $100 on a capture card, then get a cheap one like this. They'll capture 720p60 or 1080p30 at an acceptable quality.
Depends on how much you want to spend and the quality you want.
If you want to go cheap, I don't recommend the Elgato 60+ that jormungandrsjig suggested as that goes for over $100. You can find much more affordable USB HDMI capture cards like this one for $10-$20. Then you can combine it with a cheap RCA to HDMI converter (also around $10-$20), though I don't recommend gaming off of it since those converters usually have terrible input lag. They also don't provide good picture quality.
If you want the best picture quality, then the Elgato 60+ is a better option, as long as you also have a GameCube with a digital output so you can use a GCVideo adapter like this one. This setup would cost at least $200 for the best image quality.

Yeah it's out on the epic store, for some reason they are waiting to put it on Steam. Here is a link: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/the-sinking-city/home
iVcam !!! It's an app that I use 😊 just download it to your device and then your computer and as long as they are on th same internet they should just connect themselves

try restream.io it sends to multiple platforms, and is completely free to my knowledge, while also consolidating all of the chats into one chat, perfect for slotting right into OBS or SLOBS
Hope this helps!!
Correct. The Paid ver of Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS PRIME) $99 a year. allows for multi streaming from StreamLabs...but its not available for MAC OS yet....unfortunately.
restream.io is great. used it for a while prior to getting SLOBS Prime
You CAN possibly switch between platforms but not DURING stream. You can do this by logging out from OBS.
To be able to stream to both at the same time, use restream.io. Check it out. Some features may require paid version.
There really isn't any advantages at all for starting on Twitch. No discoverability, hardly any algorithm that isn't in place just to promote the most watched streamers on the platform. FB gaming is only taken seriously by those who stream on it. YT has been in the game for a long time and the best algorithm for getting noticed but streaming on it can be unstable and take some time to get right. If I had to pick I would say YT just because of the discoverability. Also I always tell people to NOT start with streaming. Streaming should be one of those things you do when you already created a fan base. Streaming to create a community just isn't as practical any more. O and lastly...dont use restream.io just makes you look desperate for views. Pick a platform and stick with it. Restreaming has never helped anyone get noticed
New to the game? Id multi-stream to all platforms, See where your following is. Twitch gives you great video editing tools to clip out parts of a stream, share them (links to twitch) or download the file and post it to YT or anywhere else.
YT allows higher resolution and higher bitrate ( which will be great and ideal for fast paced games, but if your just doing 30-60fps content, like drawings and similar activities, then any platform will work.
​
Restream.Ioor using Streamlabs and signing up with Streamlabs PRIME will give you multi streaming out of the box.
​
Twitch keeps streams (VODS) available for a few weeks for you to review or save them. Youtube will keep the longer. You also have the ability on both platforms to NOT save the stream (if you are already recording to your PC)
​
Facebook is another avenue to test out. quality is much lower (unless/when you partner with facebook then you'll get higher trans-coding capabilities for a higher quality stream.
​
Ive streamed on all platforms, i enjoy twitch with how easy it is, but youtube does give some benefits for 1440p high quality streams.
Yea, I just switched to multi with YouTube, Steam Broadcasting, and Twitch. I have yet to get consistent results out of it, but my first night got me 2 followers.
I've been using regular OBS and restream.io which allows you to just point your stream key to them. It also has an integrated chat widget, but I would say have your separate chats all open individually.
