Here's how to stream on Twitch
using a computer or a gaming console.
This video will cover two methods of streaming on Twitch:
using a computer and using a console.
Use our clickable sections below
to skip to the method you want to use.
Let's start with a computer.
Streaming is made easy by using
Twitch's software called Twitch Studio Beta.
First, let's open Twitch Studio Beta
and log in to your Twitch account.
When you open Twitch Studio for the first time,
it's going to go through a basic setup.
First, click "Get Started."
Twitch checks your mic.
"Check, check."
Looks like it's working.
Next, click "Continue to Webcam."
Now you can choose your webcam source,
apply filters to the video,
and remove a background if you're using a green screen.
Next, click "Continue to Layouts."
Here you can preview
and customize your stream layout.
We're gonna leave these as basic for this tutorial.
Next click "Continue to Settings."
Now the software will do a test of your system
and create stream settings
that match your hardware and bandwidth performance.
You can customize these settings if you like,
or keep Twitch's optimized settings from the test.
Next, click "Continue to App."
This is the main Twitch Studio Beta screen.
You can now start playing a game on your computer.
Go back to the Twitch Studio Beta application,
click "Start Stream,"
and then click "Go Live."
Streaming with a console.
Now let's do this on an Xbox One.
Download and open the Twitch app on your Xbox.
At the top, go to "Broadcast."
A log-in code will display on your TV screen
to link your Twitch account with your console.
Using your smartphone or computer,
go to Twitch.tv/activate
and enter the code on screen.
Now that your account is linked,
go back to "Broadcast" inside the Twitch app on your Xbox.
Here, you can adjust settings as needed for your stream,
like adding a webcam
and adjusting your stream quality.
Now click "Start Streaming" at the bottom,
open your game, and you are live.
You can see how long you've been live for
and how many people are watching your stream
in the Twitch pop-up screen
while you are playing.
Congratulations.
You are live on Twitch
and officially a Twitch streamer.
