It is usually recommended to have a PC with Windows 10 because it is where OBS works best, therefore we will start with this: you already have a PC, it does not matter if it is a desktop or a laptop, and you want to start broadcasting.
This is the basic equipment you need to broadcast on Twitch and YouTube, so that from here you can improve your production studio or your setup.
Camera
The reality is that to broadcast live you don’t need a large camera, but if you want to be seen in your games on Twitch, the minimum is to have a webcam that can capture your image in Full HD to add to your montage.
If you want to start we recommend a webcam like this one from Aukey that costs less than 40 euros and meets all the requirements. It even has a microphone to pick up your voice and talk while you play.

Microphone
While you can always use the microphone on your webcam or on your headphones, there’s a reason most streamers prefer to use an external dedicated microphone: audio quality is critical.

Capturadora HDMI
PC gamers only have to install their software, like OBS, to broadcast while playing. It is its greatest advantage over gamers on consoles such as PS4, PS5, Xbox or Switch. To broadcast live with a game console requires a special piece of hardware: a video capture device.
The capturers do exactly what their name indicates, they capture the image that arrives via HDMI, like a console, so you can record it or in this case, broadcast it over the internet.

Other options for streaming consoles or other sources through HDMI would be this AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini which captures in Full HD at 60 FPS for 114 euros.
If you want to capture an image in 4K then you will have to make the leap in quality with a Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 what reaches the 249 euros in PcComponentes and also 249 euros in Amazon.
illumination
What good is having a good broadcast setting if you don’t have good lighting to be seen? Lighting is vital and LED panels allow for very little consumption to be seen with few shadows.
Elgato Key Light It is a 2500K LED panel with adjustable monopod that costs about 189 euros. It can be adjusted in brightness and height, perfect to combine it with another light source and thus avoid harsh shadows.
The good news is that any continuous LED lighting source will do the trick. East small LED panel It is designed for laptops but perfectly illuminates your face and it only costs 36 euros.
