Discord is the king of communicating with your viewers while off stream.

Community building is done on and off stream, and Discord is the champion of talking with your viewers while off stream. It's the perfect place to post memes, funny clips from your channel, and just talk shop with your community. If you haven't built a discord server for you channel, get to it now!

Being able to accurately measure your channel's statistics is key to understand what's really happening with your channel.

You can't know the real truth of your channel's growth without seeing the cold, hard data. TwitchTracker is a free website that allows you to see the trends, numbers, and data of your channel. It's helpful to see your growth over a length of time, and how your channel is really doing.

One of the most important factors of a stream is having quality microphone audio, and the Blue Yeti has been my go-to microphone for the past 4 years.

While there's microphones that are more expensive with higher quality sound, you won't find a microphone that matches the price for this level of quality. I have used this microphone for gaming, podcasting, and streaming for the past 4 years. Cannot recommend it enough.

If you're planning to stream your console games, this is a must-have. Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, and more can be streamed with the help of this device.

This Elgato Capture Card is necessary if you're planning to stream console games. If you're going to be solely streaming PC games, it's not necessary.

I'd argue this is the most popular streaming piece of equipment on the planet.

If you're planning on utilizing a green screen, this could be the right one for you if you're looking for something to easily store.

My apartment is small and I was limited on space. This webaround portable green screen was clutch as it could be easily fixed to my desk chair and stored in a closet when streaming was over. I'll post a proper review soon, but it's worked good for me. My biggest problem with it is that you can't be be close to a wall or table to your left or right otherwise it'll bump up against it.

This collapsible green screen is quick, easy, and gives great results.

I finally made the decision this year to switch from the Webaround Green Screen to this one. This larger green screen allowed me to show more space around me on the camera. As a bonus - I didn't have to worry about it bumping into my desk or getting in the way.


When I'm ready to stream it easily pulls up, and when the stream is over it collapses in a matter of seconds. Highly recommend!

The trick to making sure you look great on camera is a good light. Great lighting will not only help your camera, but also make sure you're able to use a green screen properly.

The nice thing about this light is that it comes with everything you'll need to get it setup and ready for use quickly. It comes with a solid clamp so that you can attach it to a desk.

If you're planning to use a green screen for your stream, having a solid key light is vital to making sure it works as intended. If you've ever watched a stream that has a green outline around the streamer, this is likely because they're not properly lit.

While streaming with a light in your face isn't the most fun thing in the world, it will make your production quality skyrocket. A must-have.

A stream deck isn't necessary for streaming, but it really helps make screen transitions, audio control, and other stream features go smoother.

When I first started streaming I had keybinds to transition between scenes, mute microphones, and to turn on music. It worked fine, but I kept forgetting what key did what. Purchasing the Elgato stream deck increased my production 10x. This little device is super handy, and I'd recommend it for any streamer who wants to take streaming seriously.

A simple to use webcam to get your smiling face on stream. Great quality and used by thousands of streamers.

This webcam won't break the bank and will put out the quality you need. It's no wonder that this webcam is used by literally thousands of streamers. It's simple, high quality, and can be up and working in a matter of moments. I've been using it for years with no issues. I'm a fan.
