What made you start live streaming?

Tell us your story! What made you start getting into live streaming?

For me, I got interested in it after getting an xbox one and discovering Beam, which is now known as Mixer, and saw I was able to easily broadcast directly from my xbox. I tried it a few times and didn't really think much of it at the time, but then being bored one night, I decided to actually sit and watch a few streams on Beam and I liked the content and quality of the platform. By the time I had the setup I needed, such as a good headset and an internet upgrade, Beam turned into Mixer and I decided to jump in head first. I'm really glad I did because I really enjoy streamning!

For me I started live streaming on Twitch a while back just out of pure interest, it wasn't until I noticed Beam that then became Mixer where I was able to easily stream from my Xbox. At first I did it for fun and as a hobby but the more I streamed and the more I built up my equipment the more I took it more seriously. I am now at over 2000 followers on Mixer and reaching for Mixer Partnership.

I've never really understood the point of streaming, perhaps someone could enlighten me?

I occasionally watch tiametmarduk playing F1 games and admire his skills, but they're recorded and not "live".

..but generally, what is the point in watching when you could be playing?

Hey everyone, good to meet you =)

I'd wanted to for years. I used to watch Ninja play Halo back in 2012 on Twitch and always thought it seemed interesting - but didn't have the hardware to do so. With life and everything I didn't find myself able to until late 2017 - I've kept with it because I love that there's always ways to improve, both your setup and your ability to stream.
I'm around the 30 average mark on Twitch It's definitely a steep climb but I'm loving working towards Twitch partner and beyond.

I've never live streamed a game, but I did do a live vlog on YouNow.
