Sony A7 for streaming

[Kromann]

I just recently acquired a Sony a7 from 2014 for live streaming on twitch I was considering how should I set my settings in my camera and this camera are not to old for being used for this ?

Probably not the best streaming camera. It overheats rapidly when filming video, and you'd have to get a capture card to ingest the hdmi output from the camera as well as a continous DC power supply. Honestly it's a lot of hassle for what will ultimately end up looking like crap after all compressing and processing is done on twitch's side when you can get a 50 dollar webcam with onboard h.264 processing, pretty good image quality, and just plug&play USB.
