Livestreaming has rapidly gone from niche to mainstream, as gamers, djs and countless others provide a steady flow of information and entertainment that is replacing tv for many people.
READING THE ROOM
Put simply, if you’re making content, you should probably be livestreaming it too. But unless you’ve got a space specifically set up for streaming, your room is likely set up with style and comfort rather than acoustics and connectivity in mind.

MINIMAL EFFORT
Condolences to minimalist interior design fans out there, but having plenty of ‘stuff’ in your room is a great way to make it sound better. Plants, clothes, cushions – all of these are good for diffusing sound.

PLUGGED IN
Stream over a hardwire internet connection if you can. It’s bound to be better than Wi-Fi. Certainly avoid using your phone’s wireless data – that is, unless you happen to have a telecom mast atop your house.

SNACK ATTACK
Choose the right spot for your streaming: a quiet space that doesn’t have noisy appliances nearby. So don’t broadcast next to your fridge – even if it is a convenient source of mid-livestream refreshments.
