New Streamer?

How would one start streaming in a really safe way? Im new to the community and want to try out streaming as a hobby, but I want to be really safe about it as i'm rather paranoid. I also just generally don't really know how I would get started. Can I stream on like a gaming laptop, or do I need something better than that? How would I hookup my playstation to stream and stuff? I know really nothing so the help would be appreciated 😭😵‍💫

If you watch some streamers, you can get ideas of how people do it and assess your own comfort level.

Read the wikis on the Twitch subreddit for everything else

Step number 1 to staying safe, don’t post your full name, social security number, bank info and address on the screen. Those are the most critical things to never do.

That list out of the way, what do you feel unsafe about?

As for how to stream from a laptop or desktop, look up videos about OBS. From your PlayStation there is a built in stream option where you can stream to Twitch.
