how you can start streaming on Twitch with just a smartphone

Technology is ever-evolving. Smartphones today feature high RAM, top-of-the-line cameras, impressive refresh rates and long-lasting batteries. What I mean by that is smartphones today are more than capable of performing strenuous and power-hungry activities with ease — including activities like streaming.To get more news about 39bet-kết quả bóng đá-kết quả xổ số miền bắc-kèo bóng đá -soi cầu bóng đá-đặt cược, you can visit official website.

Streaming on Twitch has become a popular activity, and with the recent introduction of the platform’s Ads Incentive Program (AIP, pronounced ‘ape’), streamers are able to earn a “predictable monthly income” simply by streaming for a set amount of hours while airing ads (first screenshot below).
While streaming on Twitch is dominated by PC users, updates like this one (second screenshot above) allow console gamers to live stream their content with ease. If you already stream on Twitch, or consider it a potential activity you want to dive into but don’t want to go all out purchasing the right equipment, fret not; you can start your journey by streaming right off your smartphone.

While there are (and were) multiple platforms for live streaming, including YouTube Gaming, Facebook Live and the now-dead Mixer, this article focuses solely on the king of streaming viewership — Twitch, and how you can stream on it directly from your smartphone.

There is no minimum spec requirement for streaming from a smartphone, and all devices, including tablets that support the Twitch app, can be used. However, no spec requirement doesn’t mean that you’ll get the optimal experience with a laggy old device. You also have to keep in mind that streaming will drain your device’s battery pretty quickly, and if you choose to do IRL (in-real-life) streams and show yourself or your surroundings, you’ll have to make sure your stream doesn’t look like it is being broadcasted from a potato.
Clicking on the profile icon (first red circle) would take you to the settings section, from where you can click on the ‘Go Live’ button, whereas clicking on the video camera icon (second red circle) would take you straight to the streaming section, as shown below:

Then you set up your stream with its title, your microphone sensitivity, and the device’s volume. This is also where you enable or disable notifications from your chat, which would pop up like a normal text notification, along with an option to save your stream for up to 60 days.

Clicking the “Edit Stream Info” button allows you to set tags, allowing people with similar tastes to discover you and this is also where you can set a “Going Live Notification” that lets all your followers and subscribers know that you’re streaming.

Finally, you click the big purple ‘live’ button and you’ll be presented with a disclaimer informing you that everything on your screen will be broadcasted, and that includes any pop-up notifications would be visible to all your viewers. Turning on the do not disturb is a good way to avoid any embarrassment.
