Discussion breakdown:

Why is equipment important? - You want to give your viewers the best possible experience and new viewers less reasons to leave. Upgrades should make your stream quality better and should make going live easier on you.

- both are wrong.

- Never done upgrading in any tech field.

- Price doesn't always mean quality.

- Problem solving and getting the most out of what you own is always a good skill no matter how good / bad the tech is.

- if it works, it works.

- Upgrades should make streaming easier and more feature filled.

- There's always a price to be paid and a learning curve.

Part two: The most important upgrades

- Audio. Audio. Audio. Audio. - Samsung Q2U

- Capture Cards - $5-20

- Camera

Part three: Upgrades can be about making streaming easier.

- Emulation vs Mister
