If you think you have streamer wood but until now you did not have the necessary hardware to perform live shows, calm down because now you only need your mobile phone or any other compatible device to be able to do it with Google’s cloud game service. And is that Google Stadia already allows streaming on YouTube directly .
Make the leap to streaming video games with Google Stadia
Performing live while playing your favorite titles is not complicated, but depending on which platform you want to do it and the quality you are looking for, it will cost you more or less. Because it is not the same to broadcast only the game than to want to add another additional signal where you can be seen playing and even comment on the game or chat with those who see you.
To achieve this in most cases it is necessary with additional hardware , such as an audio and video capturer, microphones, lights, etc. Without forgetting that you will also have to have a powerful PC if you want to play while doing all this or one capable enough to manage the different audio and video signals, effects, resources, etc., that you want to add.
But now, if you want Google Stadia, it makes all this easier for you since it has activated the possibility of streaming directly to YouTube . It is an exclusive option for now from the web version, but it is the beginning of what in the future could be done from mobile devices or the Chromecast Ultra itself connected to the television.
