The equipment you need to stream on Mixer

Required

Streaming to Mixer the simple way

You can stream your game to Mixer without a ton of hassle, though you won’t be able to do much in the way of custom setups.

Seriously, it’s that easy. If you want something fancier, though, it’s going to be far more complicated. Please be aware that if you want to stream with the more in-depth setup, you need to go ahead to Mixer.com/dashboard and get your accountauthorized, as this process generally takes around 24 hours.

How to set up the capture card

How to download and set up the streaming software

While Elgato has its own software that you can use for streaming, I find that OBS Studio is better to use and simpler to understand. Plus, it’s free! Here’s how to download and set up OBS Studio.

Get out of the city

Now you’re all set to share some scares as you run through the streets of Raccoon City. Remember that even after you finish the game, there are higher difficulties, new items, and more to go through and unlock in Resident Evil 3. That means it’s perfect for streaming multiple playthroughs as you get more and more comfortable with your setup and the game.
