Questions about starting to stream

[mozzgamersociety]

Hi Cohhilition members,
I love CohhCarnage stream he is a great entertainer. I'm 31 years old and I'm a big gamer love playing video games it's actually my passion and would love to get into streaming and doing what I love. I also have a limited budget of like $2000 for now. I would love to ask u a few questions about getting started.

1. What computer and specs should I start out with?
2. What cam should I startout with?
3. What Computer, Equipment, and Gear should I start with?
4. Do you have any tips to give out for me to get started?
5. I'm still awhile out from starting but I would like to build a Society/Community of people playing Games just like Cohh did.....what do u think of my name for that Mozz Gamer Society?
6. How long does it take you to build a community?
7. What software and programs should I run to start?
8. How did you find art to make your twitch page look awesome and your other social media pages?
9. How and where did you find Moderaters?
10. Was it easy to apply the art once you got/found it?

I'm really excited to try this out and build and maintain a society/community of fun, playful, respectful, and interesting gamers. I can't wait for you guys to get back to me with any help, support, or any knowledge you can give me it would much be appreciated and thanks for your time.

Adding to your question in the welcome post, those are some great questions. I think you will find a lot of the questions answered in those episodes of Dropped Frames by ItmeJP. Another thing that you can look at is the information below the video. On many peoples twitch page they have the specs and different equipment that they use. The fact that you are wondering about these things is a great start and shows that you care and want to do it right. I wish you luck!

1 and 3 would be find specs for different games that you want to play and get a computer that is better then them. This way the computer can last a while and you can run the stream of one machine if you want.
5 - i like the Mozz gamer society (MGS - also sounds like metal gear solid so careful with that one)
6 - it never stops. Cohh has been going for over 2 years and he is doing great, but it wasn't always like that.
7 - a lot of people use OBS to stream
8 - ask around and do research. Check twitch creative. Don't be afraid to pay for it.
9 - Everything that people have said is the best mods are your best friends. Find a few people that you trust above all else and get them on board.
10 - what kind of art do you mean? Backgrounds in OBS are pretty ease

i would like to point out that i do not stream, but have watched and read a lot about how/why others do. Hope some of it helps.

[USER=39876]@ticktock1231[/USER] thanks for getting back to me this truly helps and thanks for referring Dropped Frames that helps insanely a lot. I love that show caught it today and started watching from episode 1 it very in formative. The people I watch the most on Twitch is Cohhcarnage, Itmejp, and TangentGaming and I want to thrive to be like them in my own way. I'm hoping by the end of 2016 I start streaming cuz I still a lot I need to get, prepare, and serious think what I want my channel to be besides a gamer society and community. Thanks again I appreciate.
