Content Creator Challenge Day 10: Behind the Scenes of Stream

Similarly to my day in my life, my streaming setup is not currently anything spectacular. I have at least progressed from streaming off my bed and only playing console games to having a desk and starting to venture more into playing PC games. I don't think my laptop appreciates that very much though. 

When I go to set up for stream, the first thing I do is make sure that I have everything plugged in correctly and accounted for. Then I go through the process of making sure I have plenty of water and snacks, maybe even dinner sitting in my mini fridge for when I am finished. Then I start to go through the process of making sure everything is working properly. I make sure to open up my Streamlabs chatbot and Mixitup bot prior to opening OBS, and then I start doing checks of my scenes, making sure it is detecting all my cameras and mics or games properly. Go through the checks to ensure my commands are functioning properly, and that nothing is lagged out or out of the screen. And then slowly I start amping myself up to hit that go live button. Before I do though, I always make sure that I adjust the stream titles and games on both Kick as well as Twitch because while I may not be a big streamer, I still take the time to multistream on both platforms. Eventually, I would even like to throw Tiktok Live into the mix and try to get some people from there as well. Once I know that everything is seemingly working and that I am being detected through my setup, I hit that button and hope for the best and just try to have as much fun as possible!

There is probably more I could or should be doing to be making more progress in the streaming world but it's just a hobby for me, something for me to do to distract myself and get that serotonin boost.
