❝ Hello dear Arcadians, and welcome to a new video.

Today, I will explain step by step how to start streaming on twitch, how to set up your twitch account, set up your streaming software and much more. Let's start!

To start streaming, we need to create an account. Move over to Twitch.tv and hit the sign up button on the top right corner. From here, you can enter your username and your password for this channel. After you´ve done that, you need to verify yourself with your phone number or your email address. In this case, I decided to verify myself with my email address. If you do so, check your mails and you will get a verification code later. Your last step is you have to enter your birthday. After you've completed all these steps you need to verify yourself. I used my email address, so I´m going to check my mails and use this verification code to gain access to twitch. That's it! Now you´ve created your own twitch account. Now twitch is asking which categories we like, that we see streamers on their homepage with our interests.

Before we can start streaming on our account, we need a streaming software. You can either use OBS-Studio or Streamlabs OBS. Both programs are mostly the same, but for beginners, it is easier to start with Streamlabs OBS. For this video, I´m going to use Streamlabs OBS. After you downloaded the installer from the official homepage, go through the installer. Make sure to read their terms of service and select where it should be installed on your PC.

After opening the program for the first time, it will ask you what you wanted to use this program for, for streaming or for recording. Since we wanted to stream on twitch, we select the left option. After that we can connect our platform directly into the program. I skip this part, because I wanna show you which information is very important to hide. Now we can import our OBS-Studio settings if the program is already installed. I will also skip this part. You can directly connect your webcam with Streamlabs OBS. Since I don't have a webcam, I will also skip this part. If you are interested in stream overlays, you can select some of Streamlabs OBS here. Streamlabs OBS does have a huge amount of overlays. Some are free, and for some you have to buy it with a subscription. Streamlabs OBS asks you here if you´re interested in their subscription. Since we already have an overlay or we don't want to use one, we stay on the free side. To get started with Streamlabs OBS, we need to understand the program itself. On the bottom left side we can see our scenes, for example "Starting soon", "Be right Back" and whatever we need for our stream. I do already have these scenes because I implemented already a free streaming overlay. If you wanted to create a scene, click on the "+" icon next to the scene name. On the right side, we can see our sources. For better understanding, you can imagine that the scenes are boxes and the sources are items we put into this box. These Items can be overlays, your game itself, alerts from followers, donations and much more. Because I downloaded a stream overlay already, I have a message on my screen. If we check our sources, we can find this message and delete it, so it doesn't disturb us in our stream. But how do we implement our game now? We wanted to stream Chronicles of Arcadia, right? In my example, we have a scene with the name "Game Capture". To implement our game now, we need to make sure it is already open in background. If so, we can now hit the settings icon, select in the category "Mode" "Capture specific windows" and hit in the category "Window" your Arcadia game. After that, you should see your game already in the preview window.

Okay, we implemented our game now and added in some overlays, but that's not it because we need to make sure our settings are the best for Twitch. I recommend you to watch other videos about that topic since it's based on your computer components and your network connection.

Let's move on to the streaming key, a very important part of streaming and a very dangerous piece of information for people who do not have the right to stream on your twitch account! Every person who has your streaming key is able to stream on your twitch account, so be very careful with that!

If you didn´t connect your twitch account in the setup, you´ll need it. But how do I figure out my streaming key? Go back to twitch.tv, click on your channel icon and hit the "Creator Dashboard" category. We move on to "Settings", "Stream" and we should see our streaming key on the top. Make sure to click the copy button on the right side of your streaming key. After copying the streaming key, we move back to Streamlabs OBS & search for the settings icon in the bottom left corner. Search for "Stream" and check if the platform is "Twitch". If it is twitch, we can now paste our streaming key into the box on the bottom of the window.

You can right click and hit "paste" or use CTRL + V. Make sure to set up your streaming program how you like it. It must fit to you, your pc components, your network connection and to your viewers.

If we talk about viewers, what about personalizing our twitch channel with a custom profile picture or a channel banner? To set this up, we move over again to twitch.tv and click on our account icon and search for "Settings''. As you can see, we can choose our custom profile picture and our channel banner. To get the best quality out of it, make sure to read their notes about the file size and recommended resolution. After uploading your profile picture and your banner, make sure to check on your channel how it looks. Simply, click on your Account icon again and hit "Channel". Beside our channel banner and profile picture, we can add panels under our stream. You can use panels to give information about you, which games you like, the chat rules or you add channel addons in it. If you ́re interested in these topics, I recommend again to watch full guides about that exact topic.

You may´ve noticed that some streamers have their streams as a video on their channel. If you wanna save your streams as a video too, follow these steps.

Click on your channel icon and hit the creator dashboard. Navigate to "Settings'' and then "Stream". You should find a category called "VOD Settings". If you enable this, your stream will be saved as a video on your channel.

We´ve created our own twitch channel, personalized it with a custom profile picture, set up our streaming software, but how do I go live now?

Since it is Streamlabs OBS, it is very easy to do. Go to Streamlabs OBS and you should find a button in the bottom right corner called "Go Live" or similar. If you click this, you are going live and other people can visit your stream now. If you wanna manage your stream, click on your channel icon, click on "Creator Dashboard" and navigate to "Stream Manager". You´ll see your own stream, the chat, moderation logs and much more.

I researched for you if you wanna improve your streaming quality. In the description, you´ll find a pastebin link. There is a text file with different Youtube links in it. These YouTube videos are in depth guides about the streaming software, customization of your twitch account, panels and much more. It is worth taking a closer look at it.

I hope I was able to help you out with streaming on twitch. If you have any suggestion which tutorial we should bring next, let us know about it.❞
