The Beginner Streamer Gear List

Free — know exactly what to buy before you spend a dollar

Most beginners buy gear in the wrong order, or buy stuff they didn't even need for how they're actually going to stream. This is the "before you buy anything" list — no fluff, no filler, just what you need and why.

Who this is for:

You have nothing on the desk yet and don't know where to start

You're about to buy gear and want to make sure it's the right gear for how you'll actually stream

You stream (or want to stream) on Console, PC, or Phone (TikTok) — this covers all three

What's inside:

A speed test check to run before you buy anything else, so you're not stuck with gear your internet can't support

The one decision that changes everything — Console, PC, or Phone streamer — and why it matters before you buy

A complete, separated gear list for each type — no cross-referencing, no guessing what applies to you

Straight answers on the stuff beginners always get wrong: mic stand vs. boom arm, why headphones matter, why wired beats wifi, what a monitor arm actually does for your setup

What this isn't:

Not a setup or configuration guide — this gets you the right gear, it doesn't teach OBS, TikTok Studio, or Meld Studio

Not a sales pitch dressed up as a freebie — it's a real, usable list on its own

Got the gear and ready to actually build your stream? That's the exact next step — the Basic Survival Setup Call picks up right where this list leaves off.
