Streaming on Twitch means broadcasting yourself and your gameplay, creative work, or just your presence to an audience online. Before you go live, there are practical things to understand about how the platform works, what data you're sharing, and what happens when thousands of people can see and interact with you in real time. This category covers the real trade-offs of streaming—what you gain in audience and community, and what you're giving up in terms of privacy and control.
The articles here answer questions like: what can viewers actually see about you, how does Twitch use your information, what should you think about before streaming from your home, and how do you handle unwanted attention or harassment? You'll learn how to set boundaries that match your comfort level, not just accept the defaults.
