How to broadcast on Twitch

You do not need any type of software to broadcast on Twitch from your mobile phone or your computer or console, but if you are going to broadcast from your computer, which is usually the most frequent and common. According to the streamer service itself, there are four conditions that we must meet to broadcast:

To do this, it makes available to users a series of different programs that we can download from our profile on Twitch> Channel> Transmission tools. Pero the most recommended by the platform itself, if you are a beginner, it is Twitch Studio.
