[XxMLGMASTERxX]

I want to start streaming on twitch or YouTube and I have questions:

1.twitch or YouTube?

2.will my PC be able to handle it?I have a ryzen 5 1600 and a Vega 56 (I'll probably be playing overwatch or csgo)

3. What program should I use? Is Radeon relive fine?

1. Whichever you like more. I personally prefer Twitch.

2. Yes.

3. I like OBS Studio the most, others like to use Streamlabs OBS(personally not a fan, I hate it).

Whatever program you're comfortable with is the program you should use, really. I like using OBS Studio since it's pretty easy to pick up such as creating different scenes, adding in text, overlays, and moving specific windows.

1. What do you want to build your audience on and which would work better for you? I largely stream to dick around but I like to stream at high quality so Twitch is a no-go.

2. Probably.

3. You can use Radeon ReLive if you wanted but personally I use OBS Studio to stream. 32.5Mbps at 1080p60 and 320kbps AAC audio :^)

1. Twitch. Youtube Gaming App is being removed so livestreams on YT are loosing ground. 

2. Yes. I would suggest GPU encoding for most games. 

3. OBS, Streamlabs OBS (a variant of OBS), and xSplit are the top 3 that people use. Streamlabs is the easiest to learn and is the starting point I recommend for a lot of beginners.

I wish Twitch would let us go above 6Mbps  I want cleaner 1080p then twitch will give you.

I am just gonna say that you can stream to twitch and then dowload it off twitch later

OBS is confusing at first, but actually makes a lot of sense and has lots of the features you need. Learn how to balance audio. What I do is record a short test clip, remux it, then listen to it lol.
