So you’re thinking about getting into Twitch streaming, but what’s the best way to go about it, and what equipment do you need?
It’s seemingly a million-dollar question, but you’ll be pleased to know that it doesn’t need to cost you a million dollars to get started.
In fact, the only equipment you need to start Twitch streaming is a capable PC or console. But if you really want to build a community, there are a few bits of “best-buy” tech you might want to invest in.
That’s why we spoke to members of the LGBT+ stream team Rainbow Arcade to get their top Twitch equipment tips.
Who is the LGBTQIA+ Twitch tag for?
Much of the confusion lies with Twitch itself. In their list of tag definitions, they note the tag is for “streams in which the streamer chooses to identify as a member or ally of the LGBTQIA+ community”. By definition, then, the tag includes allies.
What’s more, some folk believe the A in LGBTQIA+ specifically stands for ally, instead of asexual, thereby erasing those people from the community.
To be honest, If @Twitch would write out what each letter of what LGBTQIA+ meant, it would help educate people on what it meant right there in the description. People see the A and say A is for Ally that s me!
