Back again with a quick and easy solution to all of your console streaming troubles. We have all been there, trying to set up a quality style stream without throwing down half of your bank account for a powerhouse PC and an accompanying capture card. Thankfully somebody at Lightstream happened to see that exact struggle and came up with probably the easiest to use solution available on the market.

Lightstream is a cloud-based network that allows you to cast directly from the Twitch app on your console, the same as you always would, but through Lightstreams source package. Given two options right off the bat you can choose from either a Gamer or Creator plan. Gamer being the cheaper, but less expansive option, it ranges from $8 to $16 a month depending on what resolution and fps you prefer. Creator on the other hand will open up a multitude of ways to improve, customize and expand your streaming horizons while staying anywhere from $25 to $50 monthly.

Both packages come well-equipped with extremely easy-to-use third-party integrations with every major stream outsource available. Customize your console stream with fully decked-out overlays, alerts, chatbots, and everything else you can imagine, just like our PC counterparts running OBS. It is an absolute necessity if you plan to upgrade your stream quality and viewer interaction, but if you don’t want to just take my word for it you can also try their 7-day free trial. So head over to Lightstreams site and see what’s up, I promise you’ll never look back.
