I would like to start streaming on Twitch… Unfortunately, I only have a very weak laptop… I hardly know anything about PCs… What should I pay attention to? Should I build it myself or buy one pre-assembled? What is important for mainstream games (Minecraft, Valorant, Warzone)? Which parts can you recommend? IS THERE A PAYABLE GRAPHICS CARD STILL AVAILABLE? Buy used or new?
Streaming is bad. The PC needs a little more power than when you record a video, e.g. For YouTube.
There's only one thing you can do in the price range right now Buy a PC with a 3400g. But even then, you're closer to 600.
When you buy a PC with a 3400g you have something that less demanding games (in terms of performance) can handle. But you can forget about Warzone more easily. Especially as streaming.
Also, a 50K line might have 10K upstream if you want to stream, not many people can watch without poor quality.
Addition: I looked up again. For FullHD DivX videos you need 4-8 Mbit / s if we're generous and pretend that 5 mb / s were maximum, that would be no less than 2 viewers for a stream, if there's more the quality goes down massively.
As if the stream per viewer comes from their own upload.
the upload only goes to twitsch and can be downloaded or streamed by thousands of viewers at the same time.
Of course, it runs on the Twitch server, that's completely normal
The least to stream would be this one:
Correct, streamers with 50k viewers would have to have the contract of death… So it doesn't make any sense…
I'll take a look at it…
Streaming is not only possible via Twitch, but you would also have to be 13 years old, which certainly many of the "I want to stream questions" are not. Others might be tempted to stream over 2 platforms at the same time or do it over Discord because e.g. Not 13 or whatever.
And whoever writes something like 50k should probably not even know that his upload is lower. There are also various other video formats out there that need more.
It is common practice that viewers watch via the streaming service and not via the private Internet line. This is the case with discord, youtube like this, twitch like that. Because a private household could NEVER make this upload rate available for so many people at the moment, even 50 watching would be over 250MBit in the upload. Even a 1GBit line has an average of only about 50Mbits in the upload, streaming would be virtually impossible according to your theory. The upload that is used privately for streaming is only 1x to the streaming provider. If you stream several things at the same time, Discord Twitch and Youtube, then you of course use 3 times as much. Whereby Youtube and Twitch are forbidden at the same time anyway.
It really amazes me that you don't know that.
There are large interfaces distributed everywhere where the Internet runs together,
These all belong to Telekom, if you are an Internet provider, you rent a connection point there directly, and you can therefore offer as much Internet as it is enough for tens of thousands of people.
Streaming providers or large corporations such as google or whatever, who hire such an offer and can offer an upload rate that would be impossible to pay privately.
to get to the point. 10mb upload is sufficient to stream over twitch. Even for 1000 people
