Most purchases that streamers make are a giant waste of money. If I'm going to be reviewing and suggesting products to you, it's my responsibility first to tell you what your priorities should be when investing in your stream.

What's your favorite piece of equipment? What about the piece you're the most antsy to upgrade??
Selfie stick
First upgrade will be lighting... then a cam... at this point my only equipment is my laptop and my PS4. Actually... come to think of it, the first thing I’ll probably get is a monitor.
My computer in general. It's a old grandpa by now!

Hi! I’m a new CZcamsr and was hoping I could have a little support! I started about 2 years ago and have already grown a successful amount! I do lots of cool vids and love and notice every single subscriber, thank you!
@@Nitrez I don’t think spamming in every video is gonna help you. Your reputation is gonna be as a spammer and the internet dislikes spammers.
Ive lost so much money on equipment lol
But i love it anyway
Even though I barely stream
I disagree about upgrading camera before audio. First thing that always makes me leave someones stream is bad audio quality or volume. I believe you will assault someones ears before you assault their eyes.
And don't forget that some streamers don't even USE a webcam/camera. Audio and microphone experience is THE defining attribute of Twitch. Cameras are a bonus.
I agreee
wait did you just like pause the video then type this? because he literally says upgrade your audio first and foremost like a minute or less than a minute after.
@@connie8828 He's saying a better mic makes you seem much more professional, but his first purchase he recommends is the camera. It's about the order of purchasing, because he DID say audio is important, but he seemingly states that camera should come before audio upgrade. I did indeed watch the video.
@@miavaughn2393 Maybe I misinterpreted what was said, but I got the impression he was working from the assumption that you don't have a camera AT ALL and that your first upgrade should be the addition of a camera if you're streaming without one. He's been very vocal on the subject that while success as a camera-less broadcaster is possible, you increase your connection with your audience with the addition of a camera and makes building your community and brand a lot easier than if you go without.
Anyone else binge watching these videos in preparation for when you are going to stream? My Internet is getting set up soon and I've been researching through this channel for the last few days! Very excited to give streaming a go!!
@Finicky this is sound advice, cheers man!
@@Thanovic Yup! I am. Lol but I'm going to be console streaming for a while before I invest in a gaming pc. I have a mac I'm going to run OBS on. Should be fun!

I do agree gaming chairs are a bad purcharse (most of them). However, my best investment has been a good ergonomic chair that is around the same price as a gaming chair. I had awful low back problems and sitting 10+hours on a bad chair made my life so miserable I had to spend days standing just to stop feeling pain. But you don't need an expensive one just make sure to buy one with good reviews. For example, the Ikea Markus chair is pretty cheap and it has great ergonomics so I'd recommend that one for gamers that sit for too long. And make sure to stretch every hour!
A $230 chair is pretty cheap? Y i k e s
Gaming chairs/racingchairs are not even meant to be comfortable, when you sit in one for the first time you probably had a bad chair before so you have a bad sittinghabbit so you immediately think its good. glad to hear you didnt buy a gaming chair!
I have a broken chair from Ikea
I agree. I bought a Herman Miller Aeron and it improved my computer life 100x
I would say the Ikea Markus chair is utterly trash tbh and does not have good ergonomics(Youll think it does when u try it, first time, and comfy but its not in the longer run) Dont get that I've had one for over 3+ years till I really grown tierd off it and got a lower bad back from it. Wont be comfy in longer sessions, trust me. (ps: for a better ergonomic chair would be a real office chair) not from Ikea budget section.
Hey i'm in a wierd spot. I have a pc and it's not the best, i know you said not to upgrade your pc first, but my pc is so bad i can only record gameplay in 720p 30fps but it looks like 480p. Should I upgrade my pc to get the better gameplay? Also my pc can't handle to render a webcam in obs so i really need a better gpu. (I have a radeon rx 560)
He's probably not gonna answer but I would say yes. Seems like most budget streamers have a 1070, I suppose it keeps up with high fps gameplay and encoding
Yes you should. Especially since you are essentially rendering your gameplay twice, make sure your video card can handle it
Just found your channel tonight and one of the takeaways I’ve gotten just from watching a couple of your videos so far is if you focus on the viewer, focus on the viewer, focus on the viewer the money will come. As well as applying to streaming, and YouTubing, you could also apply that to blogging and other content creation.Thanks for sharing your advice and experience with us!
6:25 “you don’t wanna make your profile picture your logo.” But... you got a logo on your profile and your banner

Hey alpha, I actually bought the mixer and mic and followed your setup advice as well. Did my first test stream recently, I felt so clumsy and a little insecure. I'm Dutch, but try to stream in English. I am still settimg things up, but I try to learn and improve as I go. Your tips have been of great help! Thank you for that!
try DuoLingo app if you want to work on English, it's free
Judge Mental Gaming what mixer and mic
Lekker bezig man😂🇳🇱
My favorite upgrade I've done was my chair, I didn't splurge on an "epic gaming chair" and opted for one that would be comfortable for long sessions of sitting down. What occupation has you sitting for long hours? Office jobs, so I got myself a really comfy office chair that has a mesh back and seat for breathing and keeping me cool. Most gaming chairs have bucket seats that restrict movement which can get very uncomfortable and the leather material doesn't breathe very well.
My next investment will definitely be lighting, and I've always strived to enhance the viewers' experience over my own (I am currently still gaming on a 42" 1080i Toshiba TV circa 2007 with my 2nd 'monitor' being a cheap 32" Dynex TV). I do want to replace those soon, but mainly so I can rearrange my setup so that everything looks better for the viewers and to make it much easier for me to be able to interact.
Rather than hiring someone to work on my graphics I want to get better at making my own, so while everything will seem a little less professional (hopefully just until I improve) it will have a unique look to me and my preferences. Maybe even get good enough to make it another avenue for income on the side.
Honestly, even two years later, this was very helpful. Just started not too long ago, and I think that last piece of advice was really helpful. I’ve been using a wooden stool (I refer to it as a gaming stool personally) and it’s actually really comfortable considering that if I were using a standard office chair, it would be way too short and my arms would be really uncomfortable reaching for my keyboard and mouse. Don’t get me wrong, it would be a blessing for a new chair/desk. But I think at this point, it would be a much better investment to get a good editing program or even some graphic design from fiverr or something like that. Your videos are a blessing, and I’ve been binging just to gain some knowledge.
harris: the most important thing is professional audio.
ronaldo: am i a joke to you?
Tyler1: am I a joke to you?
"look at people with double the viewers you have" me: 0 x 2 is 0 though?
at first harris's jump cuts felt weird. Now theyre just natural.
My first lighting (which is now) is literally 3 of those lights you showed. I made a softbox out of cardboard and put one of those in it. Then I have a key and fill light using the same thing but I put paper laminated over the face to soften it.
Never had acoustic foam. Never heard any reverb. I use a makeshift green screen most of the time.
if you're live streaming to twitch, why would you need to hire a video editor? or is it for editing that stream video for youtube after?
Growing on twitch is hard,Harris has entire videos on it.What he recommends is to grow on other platforms then bring them over to twitch
I 100% agree with this. I invested in a webcam for my CZcams channel and it's helped a lot as far as growth and that personal touch. I currently have a blue snoball microphone, and while it is good, I have had it forever, and I do want to upgrade sometime soon. I'm currently looking into some xlr options since that seems to produce the most quality, but i don't know if I have enough room on my desk for that lol
My first upgrade was from my built in webcam mic to a yeti nano. My 720p webcam is good enough since it's going to be scaled down anyway
what kind of hairstyle should i wear for streaming?

4:37 For those looking to see his lighting example.
Nice video per usual Harris. My favorite piece of equipment is my StreamDeck XL, so useful and practical! I am really antsy to get out of my Yeti USB into a GoXLR and a good Condenser Mic.
I am moving to new house in two months and I have separate computer room there. This video inspired me in my plans of how to "decorate" and set up the room for streaming. Thank you very much.
I was so lucky! Jumped in streaming with average 10 viewers😂
Had like 8 viewers in 30 minutes went afk for 5 minutes and back to 0 o.o
Marcel Chimchim what is your twitch channel? Maybe I can give you some tips
Honestly idk if I got lucky or what, but within 8 days of starting I have 26 followers and my recent streams have averaged somewhere around 3 viewers already
whoa! I love how Jesse Pinkman turned into a streamer and helping others! Damn!
I've brought some of my viewers to you, and as a collective, we were wondering if you could do a video on capture cards? And how to increase your computers FPS while streaming? I find I get amazing frames while playing off stream but as soon as I turn on OBS it gets cut in half. Would getting a capture card increase that FPS rate?
I have been watching so many of your videos recently to try to get an idea of what I should try to start doing to get into CZcams and streaming. I haven’t done any video making or streaming yet I’m just trying to get all the info I can first. Thanks for all the helpful tips
T0X1C_GAM1NG whatever you do make sure it’s something u r passionate about. I wish you luck 😃
Thank you very much I’m super passionate about getting into this industry I’m about to go through a rebrand to get started on my career just need to work everything out.

Just wanna say thank you man, your videos have really helped me focus on the things both I and my stream are lacking, onwards and upwards!
Love the honesty in your videos. There's no BS, you just get to the point no matter what. Which is nice to see when a lot of content creators seem to just give the easy answer
Yo I have a Logitech web cam but when I’m in an intense fight I make funny faces should i still use it
Im still laughing for some reason 😂😂😂😂
Haha i do the sama haha 😂😂😂
why wouldn't you. It's a connection between you and your viewers
I've spend my first 100 Euros for Christmas Gifts ._. I... don't regret it
for webcam i have a basic one in my laptop, im getting overlays panels emotes etc. would the neweer nw-7000 be a good mic? and i have this wall in my room that my mother spraypainted for me when i was 13 (ik 16yo streamer never seen that before, but i've actually made $70 in 1 hour which is why im thinking of making it look pro) would that look cool enough lol, tho i only wanna spend money that i make streaming on streaming, my part time job is to fund a new PC (which helps streaming, my vlogs, game exp, my custom DLive chatbot etc.)
love your content, man! seriously - good stuff. You're on your way! I've seen twitch and youtube people get huge and saw them when they were on the cusp - that's you. Keep it up! (As a side note - you got a seriously good knack for getting folks jazzed - I hesitate to say it, but I guess the term "inspirational" comes to mind. That's a gift. ;) )
What i love about this is that u are 100% hitting the mark ok what to upgrade which it all makes sense but i feel like the community of streaming is saturated and i feel like we need to knoe what we as the smaller channel need todo to blow up or grow little by little cuz honestly Streaming as a job is a grind
Why would any of those other things be addressed in a video titled "Streaming Gear - What Should You Upgrade First?" The same channel has great videos on exactly those topics. Strange to ask for everything to be in one video...

Gabriel Uriarte what’s your twitch I’m just starting my channel!
Glad my emotes get used in other streams. Its amazing. The badge i need to work on though. And for me. And for my viewers. Its about personal connection and knowing I made it makes them even happier.
Guess I over payed for my emotes and badges.......$150😬. But they look great
"Having some regrets keeps you from making some of the same mistakes in the future." I started watching this channel really hoping that I had found a streamer that could give good advice on streaming and wasn't another Twitch/CZcams Chad that only knew how to be an internet personality and not how to be a decent and wise person. When I heard this sentence I knew that you were exactly what I was looking for: someone who knew how to be entertaining, knew how to make decisions while keeping the future in mind, and was just a decent person. Thanks for all the good advice man, I hope that I can put it to use and be as successful as possible. Keep up the good work.
What settings do you use in OBS? I keep getting crappy rendered videos. I'm using a Sony A6400 with kit lens 16-55mm, I had to turn off autofocus, because it keeps autofocusing and that's very distracting, but if I move a lot, it obviously loses focus with manual focus.
My Blue Snowball was a massive upgrade in audio - favorite piece so far. Buying a camera is the next thing which I'm a bit :@? about.
Logitech webcam + cheap lighting should do the trick
The placement of the lighting is what throws a lot of people off I think, because they're just lighting their entire room without strategically directing the light. I don't know how comfortable I'd feel diffusing the cheap clamp light he showed, those things can get pretty hot... Maybe with the right bulbs though.
You said “you can buy a gaming chair for $400”
My chair was £50.
You said “go to Ikea for a $80 chair.”
I love England.
If it was £50, it's either a. an absolute *steal,* or b. not a very good chair.
YOU DONT WANT A LOGO TO BE YOUR PROFILE PIC LOOK AT HIS PROFILE PIC ITS HIS LOGO EVEN AFTER HE SAID IT SHOULD BE YOUR FACE
For my streams I want to have a green screen. But I don't want a flimsy cloth material I tried using in the past. It looked AWFUL. I wan't something like elgatos greenscreen but that costs way to much. Is there a cheap option to choose for a good quality greenscreen?
I usually don’t comment on videos that much but I live my live by the rules that you mentioned in the beginning,if it’s not an added bonus or if it’s not going to bring something new or something that I need to the table probably I won’t spend the money on it!
*says don’t make your profile pic a logo*
*Has profile pic as a logo*
The irony lol
That's what I thought lol
He talked about this in his last video. Don't make your profile pic a logo unless you're a company. He's using Alpha Gaming as a company and wants to keep this channel about the community, not himself. On Twitch, its all about you, so don't make your profile pic a logo.
To be fair, his face is in 90% of his thumbnails

Thanks Harris, i don't stream but i think this is very relatable to so many other audio visual production requirements. so think you and would be good to have you took to some of these requirements as the one thing i find its not boring where you almost have to listen to a lecturer and dont need that after spending enough time in Uni in my past.
Fun fact, took your advice on the lighting and went to Lowes today to grab one shown @ 4:35 and they stopped making CFL bulbs. I just bought the daytime LED's at 1600 luminosity, idk if it's under or over kill but we'll find out.

As I work on my channel I have been upgrading and took your advice and got the Starter Xenyx Q502. Can you help with proper setting for it? I hope to upgrade as the channel grows but this is it for now.... Thanks Bro...
I think streaming on twitch is harder than CZcams cause your channel isn’t listed publicly. But in youtube, anybody can find your account based on what they are looking for
"The most important one to SOUND professional is Audio." I should have known.
Can you make a tutorial about how to do your obs settings I don't really find something there only old videos.
pls
5:18 You have the captions for with and without edge light reversed. Still, I am enjoying the video :)
"badges and emotes for $25" pay your artists a fair price pls
Artists, price yourselves fairly.
I’m usually with you but you started this video saying spend the money you made off twitch on this stuff and then you start with a web cam. Seriously think about this. How many newish streamers out there without our a webcam getting donations or herring affiliated and getting subs?
I got some donos and affiliate with no cam, just streaming straight from xbox
That’s rare... major props to you.
Spent a full year working on content and the community. No web cam. I think there is a large gap that Harris misses here for new streamers and was highly disappointed with one of the first couple items about thumbnails. I’d go Audio and Community involvement as priorities and then as you grow in your community you add things that as Harris says improves your viewers experience. But unless you start on CZcams I would ditch the thumbnail thing for a long time.
FluffyWolf2 I am trying to start over from scratch. I started a CZcams channel in 2012 and started streaming in 2013 and I never really gained any traction. I recently decided to start over. Take at look at myself in the mirror and try to see where I went wrong. I honestly have no idea how to use social media to put myself out there so that’s really the first thing I have to figure out.
@@R3DST1CK Social media is simply a platform the engage in your captive audience. What you determine if what "Niche" you fill. Harris has mentioned that but failed to in this video. I think making a 'mantra' if you will to your stream that fulfills you as a person, and fulfills the niche you wish to capture will in time guide you to the social media spectrum you need to tackle. Wishing to do Fitness? Instagram with visuals, small tidbits, and progression photos. Game? Perhaps there is an online community you can aid in contributing to whether it is fan art, analysis, teaching/becoming better etc. Art? DeviantArt is an old one so find the new one, or revisit the old, etc etc. The niche defines the social platform for which you tackle, and from there you see if it benefits you or not :)

I recently got a new gaming chair for 160 bucks (was 180 but Staples had a sale) and it's not cheaply made either. It's super comfortable, my sister in law sat in it and said "I'm just going to sit in this chair from now on" it's called vartan gaming chair (or something like that)

And after a few attempts get banned ? :)
Do you do any quick twitch channel overviews? Not necessarily having to be a super in-depth thing, but say a first impressions or general overview?
What you said about regret in the beginning of the video is something I tell people often. Its refreshing to hear that someone else holds that same ideology about it. Truer words have never been spoken.
Wax paper works great for diffusion or fabric at Walmart for a few bucks and its amazing
I hit affiliate 3 weeks ago (today is the 31st march) and have hit just over 300$. All of this just streaming from my PlayStation! The laptop I have isn't even capable of having OBS installed so that first payout is going to purchasing myself a new (or used just better than what I have) computer. I've always said that I want to put back in and increase the quality for my viewers!
Thank you for your great video. I been working on my channel since 2010. I never took to seriously. IT was just a hobby at first. Because I never knew you could really make money. I realized after I had wached @Popularmmo and @Sunndde with my son. When they were talking about “Thank you”, us the viewers, “for helping to support for paying there homes, for just by watching there videos” This was when I realized in 2016, that can make money. So ever since I strived trying to make better videos with me and my son streaming. And now my wife is now getting into it as well. So thank you again for wonderful tips and how the system works, in this line a business.
Are you using royalty free music? This same background song is used as the intro and outro for the locked on Lakers podcast.
I have to disagree with not buying the gaming chair. Out of everything I've purchased it was the most important thing, someone in my chat even named themselves TheLemonsGamingChair.
I stream for long hours at a time as I play competitively, stuff like ranked and high kill games so I would often feel immense pain in my back using the 80$ chair from "IKEA" (in South Africa we have Makro and Game). After getting the gaming chair my back pain has been significantly reduced by around 90% of what it used to be.
I was in so much pain before and I would show it on stream but now I feel so much better.
Last month i discoverd your video’s. I follow you guidance everytime. Have now 80 Twitch followers and 4 subscribers who were complete strangers to me. I’m streaming straight from the Xbox one but the first
big invest i’m gonne make will be a new pc to use my Elgato card. Current laptop is to slow.
What u should do
1) mic (blue yeti or rode)
2) camera (logitech)
3) lights (newwer is cheap and good)
4) second monitor (24" or 27". Get the same size monitor)
Mics- rode podmic + rode ai1 (its xlr)
Rode nt, blue yeti (don't get snowball)
What is the camera you use for the action cam/room cam? I’d love to have a cam to cut to of my cats or something when I’m BRBing to grab a drink or a bathroom break or whatever. I like the look of the one you showed.
Okay, so I know this video is old but am I the only one that noticed the editing mistake at 5:18 when the text is flipped. I never noticed that when I first looked at this video.
I just watched and I didn't even notice. Good catch
even after all my upgrade im still using my clamp lights and 800 lumen leds. my difussion material is actually white tshirt i cut up. ive been using this lighting trick for almost a decade now. still to this day one of the lighting GOATs
That transition of the "Alpha Gaming" is dope!
Great video as usual Harris, keep it up bro! :D
about the " does your stream look professional " part, i think my stream does look quite professional, the only thing i'd change is that i need to throw out like 90% of the random stuff thats in my room, and i need to get a pc that can support a cpu stream cause the stream looks like carp whenever alot is happening (especially my webcam), i wont say i deserve more viewers thn others but i will say i've seen people and i wonder how they have like 50x more viewers thn me
I had a aluminum dome light like that and used a grocery bag as a diffuser Those where the days.
I recently started streaming and i find your videos some of the most helpful. Love the quality and advice. Great content. Thanks for the help :)
Decided to bump back my 4 hours streams everyday to focus a bit more on CZcams. Thank you Alpha for the great tip
@Alpha Gaming I think you put the “with edge light” on the wrong side. You put it on the side without the edge light.
These are great tips. I want to get started soon. Picked up some cheap Neewer flood lights and already had a Rode mic and a Logitech Webcam. Now it's just up to me to improve myself over time 😁
Hi Harris, so I have been following ur youtube channel for a little over a month now. You have given me things to think about and have had a few Aha moments as well. I took ur advice and got myself a Logitech c922x pro stream cam as my first investment and it really makes a difference! Since I made the switch I have been able to get 20 followers in my first really month of streaming on twitch! I guess I just wanted you to know that I love ur vid's and you are truly "a stream doctor" in my eyes!!! Oh and I also went to fiver and got a whole new look to my stream as well!! Keep up the great work and I hope to meet ya in person at some point!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
As a business owner IRL I can't agree more that you need to focus on your customers. In this case your viewers. Make the experience special for the individual, because everyone likes to feel special. And as the old saying goes, "it takes money, to make money". Another great vid, two thumbs up :)
First time on your channel, that´s final reminder was an eye open to my channel. COOL VIDEO, THANKS 4 THE INFO! I´ll buy some items between your starter stream kit & the pro streaming kit.
Great Video! and your channel is growing fast. i love the content you put out because its very helpful and beneficial to those of use who are just starting out or have been doing it for a while and still dont know what we're doing. your channel has helped me in the past couple months and i've almost yrippled my follower count on twitch. Thank you! And keep us the great work!
I have a cooking stream, and my main audio gripe is my 2 fridges kick on while I'm speaking, and they're loud. Since I have to move around the kitchen while I cook, is my best option a lav mic? Also, is there anything I can do for noise dampening in a kitchen environment? I was thinking of putting sound-absorbing foam in some open frames so I can move them around, but I don't know if that will make enough difference considering it's a large kitchen in an open floor plan with tile floors. Storage is also a problem when my hypothetical foam frames wouldn't be in use. Any ideas?
