What does a “gaming streamer” mean?
There are people who play video games on a regular basis, and the right term for them is “gamer” or “gamers” if you’re talking about more people at once. Now, a person who plays video games, and streams the gameplay on an online platform so that others can watch, is called a gaming streamer, or a video game streamer. Pretty simple right?
There are many different kinds of streamers that you can watch today, and if you are into video games, chances are that you will be able to find one that’s pretty interesting and plays your favorite game as well.
Where can I find these gaming streamers?
A gaming streamer can broadcast their gameplay on many different platforms on the internet. Currently, the most popular platform is called Twitch.tv, and this is where about ninety percent of all video game streamers are broadcasting.
Twitch wasn’t as popular as it is right now when it first came out, but after many years of effort and improvements, it is safe to say that currently, it’s the best platform for streaming, both in terms of the viewers you’re going to get and for the overall quality.
What games can I watch being played?
Just like we said earlier, there are tons of streamers nowadays, and you can find one for almost every game that comes on your mind. For some of the most popular games, you will find hundreds of different people streaming, so feel free to choose the one that seems the most entertaining for you.
Can I become a streamer myself?
If you think that you got what it takes, sure, why not? Becoming a streamer is completely cost-free, and you don’t need anything more than goodwill and some decent skill at a video game. Or, since Twitch lately introduced their “Just Chatting” category, you can become a streamer that doesn’t play games, but simply does daily activities and shares the experience with the public.
