When I started on Twitch I was using a TV screen which was great for gaming. But what wasn't great, I was very distracted by the game and wasn't reading chat as much as I should have. It was incredibly hard to stay focused on the game while keeping up with conversation. What changed everything for me was actually just getting a second monitor.
People offered me advice with downloading bots to make a noise any time someone said anything in chat, but that would pick up on my stream and it would get annoying for people just watching the show. I took a chance by just bitting the bullet in buying a second screen and it was the best thing I could have done.
I decided on getting a pretty cheap Acer monitor and it was worth every penny. I started noticing chat a lot more because I placed the screen extra close to me and angled in a way that I couldn't help but notice if the chatroom was moving. Unfortunately, I had to switch up my set-up so now my tv screen is in another room while now I am stuck using just the one computer monitor. I have already noticed a difference in my char room activity. I am back to my old habits.
I do plan on buying another second screen as soon as I possibly can. And I hope that my advice helps any new streamers on their decisions to upgrade this part of your set up before anything else.
What are your opinions on what to upgrade first? Let me know in the comments!
