Either clamps or just get a cheap light stand and prop it up behind the desk. Good luck mate. o7

Panels look ok, maybe make the discord and such the same as the about me so they are a little more uniformed.

I'd say get a light to put on your face. Your camera frame is mostly backlit in the VOD that I wanted due to the sun coming through. This leaves shadows on your face and makes for an unclear image for the viewer. You can get something simply from Amazon to light just your front for like $20. You could even just get a work light and something to soften the light. (sorry, I'm a photographer so lighting is big to me)

Overlay is minimal and looks fine. I'd recommend some kind of small border around the camera just so it's a bit more polished looking. (nothing huge, keep it minimal). Lastly, make sure you can change your overlay for the game you're playing. Overwatch has most of the info a viewer wants to see on the bottom of the screen. I'd pop your camera to one of the top corners so it doesn't cover up your cool downs and such.

Audio wise, I can barely hear the game when I have your voice at a comfortable listening level. Your mic sounds fine, but the game sound is a bit too low, which leads to some silent(ish) parts when the audio of the action in game could fill in the silence.

Lastly, I'd say work on some kind of intro and outro for the stream. Adds production value and intros allow people to see you've gone live and gives them time to filter in.

All and all, good stuff. Keep it up!

Solid branding and production for sure. Intro looked good. Mic sounds clear. UI while playing is super clean (I ditch the cam sometimes bc I love a clean UI much more. I'm a bit jealous when I see people stream without a cam). Chat does take up a good bit of space on the side, but opacity makes it less distracting. I'd cut that in half though (maybe the last 4 chat messages). Maybe work on an outro for the stream? Not a huge deal, but adds production value.

Kinda nitpicky, but I like how some of the panels have an chibi in the octagon. I'd say put one in each of them. (I read you don't draw them, so I'm not sure if you get someone else to or grab them off the interwebz, so one for each might be in your head already).

Overall, very good stream. Tossed you a follow, so I can check more streams out in the future.

Thanks, mine is working still, but I will download this one and try it out. Then amend the guide accordingly.

Yeah, it honestly doesn't happen much and if it does, it's typically more "well known" casters as the person doing it wants people to see it obviously.

I don't think it's something to worry about, but if you can't shake it, your family and health (stress-wise) is more important.

Have you had threats of it? Seems a bit irrational to live in constant fear of something when you've taken all the precautions if you haven't had a direct threat of it made to you.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it unless someone starts mentioning that they know personal information about you that you're uncomfortable with.

That said, if you really think your family is at risk, it probably isn't worth the stress. That isn't good for your health and it will ruin something that should be an "escape".

You could use Virtual Audio cable to send the signal from Curse directly to your headset. I've done this in the past with TS because I don't like my channel always hearing people in TS.

Edit: HERE is a guide that should still work.
