Sharing your gaming passion: streaming without putting yourself at risk

Showing your games live or in videos is a fun way to share your passion and meet players. But the moment you put yourself out there online, a few precautions are needed.

Protecting your privacy

Never show personal information on screen: your address, your school, your full real name, or what's visible through your window. Also watch for notifications that might pop up live.

As a minor, talk to your parents before starting. Some platforms have age rules, and an adult can help you set up the privacy settings.

Handling comments

You'll meet nice people and sometimes trolls. Use moderation tools, stay calm, and remember you don't have to reply to everyone. Your well-being comes before the views.
