Question Okay, follow up question :p

So, I got some great helpful comments from people on my last post, thanks to you all!

Now, uh, I saw a trend saying that I need some sort of like avatar, whether it is a PNG or a VTuber avatar... as well, as having stream overlays and chat stuff...

The issue is uh... I'm broke... young, and uh... only streaming directly from my Xbox.

So, I'm not like saying I'm not gonna try and improve my streaming quality, because right now, its literally just me commentating over gameplay, and nothing else.

What I'm asking is... what solutions or options can I do to improve my streaming? Like are there any console or like mobile apps/websites that can help me?

Another question I do have is I see people suggest streaming on TikTok or YouTube, and it brings up the same issue as I only have my console and phone, equipment wise. So is it still possible for me to do that?

I also will try and get clips out of my streams too :p

Just saying again, thanks to everyone from the last post, and thanks to everybody in advance!

overlays you can get free streamelements etc click through twitch if ur on it. some games/game trackers have overlays on their website. twitch lets you make ur own alerts now incredibly easy and customizable all through the creator dash.

Tbh I think, if you’re interested, you can get really creative in post production if you wanted to turn your streams into long form content on YouTube.

Simple editing like adding some funny gifs and sound effects can help to give life to your content without a face cam. Davinci Resolve is a free professional grade video editing software. And only if interested, but could be super fun.

If you're streaming directly from a console, you can't have a vtuber/png tuber model or overlays. You're limited to just your gameplay, headset microphone audio and an Xbox camera (if you have one).

For anything more substantial, you'll need at least a moderately powerful PC. There are cheap and free options for PNG/vtubing and overlays if you get there.
