Tip #2 - To those who are new to streaming, you will need something called an encoder. An encoder's job is to process the stream and send it out over the internet to a streaming platform and or social media platform. Many of us choose to use our desktop or laptop computer to accomplish this important task. The computer you choose to handle the encoding process should include a graphics card. It does not have to be as high end as the ones competive gamers use so get the laptop or pc that has the best one your budget will allow. Something like this one is a good entry level one. https://www.microcenter.com/product/634905/hp-pavilion-gaming-15-ec2021nr-156-platinum-collection-laptop-computer-black
