Should I start streaming earlier because of corona?

I had planned to start streaming about 2 months ago in August when we would have come back from vacation and the new school year will begin. Until then I would have saved 3000 euro. Now, however, we're off school due to the virus. It looks like we may even be free until the summer vacation. And then stay here during the summer holidays. I would have 1650 euro available in a month, and if we still have no school by the summer holidays, I might consider getting a streaming setup now. For 1045 euro a PC, then 2 monitors which are 27 inches and 144HZ and together cost 440 euro. Then we would already be at 1485 euro. Then a mouse for 70 euro, a keyboard for 30 euro and a headset for 40 euro. I already have a large table. I also have a 24 inch 60HZ monitor at home. I had originally planned to get 3 × 27 inch 144HZ monitors, but I just want to stream first, and all I really need is a monitor. However, I would like to have all streams open via tabs on the 2nd monitor to see if everything is going well or there are problems. Wants to stream on youtube / twitch and Facebook at the same time. So it would be enough if I just got a 144Hz 27 inch monitor, and on the 60Hz 24 inch monitor I had 3 tabs with the live streams open and always looked up to see if everything was going well. What do you think? Should I start as soon as possible to use the time better? Because I'm wasting my time on my cell phone and maybe I can get some benefits if I start now… But if I wait I can get 3 high quality monitors, better headset and a gaming chair… Would I just play the newer first person shooters and to attract new games

Do it if you want you have to decide for yourself

Mi

Well, if you have enough time anyway, I would start now. Nobody hinders you anyway, it's your decision.

Does that pack your internet to stream on 3 platforms at the same time? Not mine.

Ma

On three platforms at the same time? What kind of internet line do you have? XD

Otherwise, why not?

Je

We have a 100K line and also connect my PC directly to the Fritz router via LAN. Should actually go. Of course I want as many people as possible to come across my stream.

pl

100K is a download, however, the upload speed is particularly important when streaming.

Je

Have a 100K line and connect PC directly to the fritz router via LAN.

Upload speed is 43.761 kbit / s.

Should work.

Je

All right. It would be enough if I gambled on the 27 inch 144hz monitor, and then checked everything on the small 24 inch monitor to see if everything was going well? Would then get a 27 inch monitor every month since my salary comes then. As I said just want to do the best now later, let's say if a hyped game should come out and I then put it on, I don't stand there with 0 spectators etc. Everything is better than 0 :)

pl

Why not.

Je

Yes, the thing is, I will not have a comfortable gaming chair and only have a 27 inch 143 Hz monitor and the small 24 inch 60 Hz monitor. I don't have a gaming table either, but my current table is very large and fits. Would order a 27 inch monitor over and over again until everything is complete. So it is not going to be so cozy at first, but that way I can start and slowly win over one or the other viewer.

Je

So it will not be so cozy because I can only afford a gaming chair a month later. Then get the other two monitors in 2 months to have everything complete. Otherwise, I set up the room where I stream even better, for example a carpet and other things to feel good.

Je

The thing is, the circumstances will not be perfect for the time being. For the time being I won't have a gaming chair, no carpet under my feet, no gaming table, but my current one is very large and fits well. And as I said, I want to get 2 more monitors over the months to have a suitable set of 3 monitors where I can easily do many things at the same time. The mouse, keyboard, headset and streaming camera are of a fairly good quality and so everything else should be ok. As I said, if I start as quickly as possible and use the corona time, I can benefit and reach more people. So that I might have my streaming setup perfectly complete during the summer holidays, and maybe there would be some fixed viewers.

And 46,761 upload.

If you want to do a good "show" I would definitely wait, otherwise you will certainly not be judged by your peripherals 😌 My opinion

Mi

I hope I could help you with your decision, stay healthy

Je

Yes!

Read this book. Loving the customer. That is Latin

That doesn't tell you at all. He describes exactly how to get to know a Frtau.
