USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming
RequiredBad audio is the fastest way to lose viewers. A decent USB mic is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your stream quality — no audio interface needed, just plug in and go.
Webcam 1080p for Streaming
RequiredViewers connect with a face on screen. A 1080p webcam gives your stream a clean, professional look without the cost of a DSLR setup — works immediately with OBS.
Elgato Stream Deck Mini
A physical button pad that lets you switch OBS scenes, trigger alerts, and control your stream without alt-tabbing. Not required, but once you use one you won't go back.
