🎓 Credentials: I have been streaming for roughly 10 years, and currently have an almost-complete degree that includes UX/UI, Web Development, and Web Design, as well as certain certifications in those areas.
💡 Pro tip: You don’t need to settle on just ONE platform! If you use OBS or similar software, you can stream to multiple platforms at once to maximize your reach. Quick Guide here! Thank you to Belle for the resource.
