Why people watch others play
A streamer commentates, chats with viewers and builds a community. Viewers learn from better players, have fun and follow tournaments live.
How streamers make money
Channel subscriptions, donations, ads and sponsorship. The most successful ones have audiences the size of TV stations.
Getting started with streaming
All you need is OBS Studio, a microphone and a stable connection with a good upload speed. When streaming games such as Rainbow Six Siege, a stream delay is also useful so that opponents cannot cheat by watching your stream.
