Internet Capacity (bitrate)
- There are some online calculators you can use to determine the ideal bitrate based off your computer specs and preferred output (screen resolution, frames per second).
- Check out this in depth guide from Reddit to learn more!
RAM
- The more RAM a computer has, the better it is at multitasking.
- Minimum 8GB, 16GB or more is recommended.
CPU
- The better the CPU, the faster the computer can process data and instructions.
- clock speed of 3.0 GHz or higher, such as an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5.
GPU
- The better the GPU, the better the image quality and the higher the frame rate.
- A dedicated GPU is not required for streaming, but it is recommended for a better viewing experience.
- A dedicated graphics card with at least 4GB of VRAM, such as an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560.

Usually, streamers who stream from their phone would use their laptop device to interact with chat!

Camera
- Having a camera pointed towards your direction is effective for accountability!
