How to start streaming on Chess.com

📝 Please note that streaming is only possible on the Chess.com website and not on the Chess.com mobile apps.

  1. Create a streaming account: Begin by creating an account on a streaming platform such as Twitch or YouTube. You can find a guide on how to create a Twitch account here and a YouTube account here.

  2. Install streaming software: Next, you’ll need streaming software to broadcast your content. We recommend using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) or Streamlabs. You can find a tutorial on how to set up OBS here.

  3. Start streaming: Once your streaming account and software are set up, you’re ready to start streaming. You can stream your Chess.com games, puzzles, variants, or any other chess-related content you like!
