I have a 27″ Viewsonic monitor and an old 15″ Samsung monitor connected to it and it’s on a stand right behind the Logitech Brio “selfie cam”. I think I got it used for about $900 on eBay (when I wanted a dedicated stream computer). This is probably the most optional piece of gear in my setup. I have a separate “live chat/comments computer”. If you have to make a choice in a streaming computer, get the one with the most processing cores and the most RAM on your video card.

Boot it up and launch Wirecast Studio Pro.

I just plug it in in either my live streaming studio or my photography studio and I’m ready to stream. It’s a 2019 16″ MacBook Pro 16GB RAM, Eight Core i9 processor. I use a MacBook Pro laptop as my streaming computer (the one that runs the streaming software). I really recommend a Mac/PC with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and a decent video card. Honestly, if you plan to stream at 1080p or even 720p you’ll want an Intel Core i5 processor minimum. Unfortunately, if you plan to do a two computer setup, your streaming computer will still need to be a pretty fast system too. I could run the streaming software on one computer and my iMac would then run at full speed for the demos. I decided that a two computer setup was the best way to go. Since I’m often demoing high-end applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc. When I started streaming I did everything from one computer. For a basic setup, you can certainly do it all from one computer. I use a Mid 2017 27″ iMac 64GB RAM/2TB SSD. I prefer using a Mac for my demos and tutorials. You’ll need a computer: To live stream from a desktop/laptop computer you’ll need either a Mac or PC.
