The future of IRL streaming isn't making more creators buy a $30k backpack.
BendaDonnn reveals that his streaming backpack costs $30,000 "This backpack is the TVU, and it costs like $30K. I'm like the only streamer that films with an FX6. This is like Netflix. You stream from that camera." "Basically, it uses SIM cards and bonds them together in a different way. That's how we're able to stream from anywhere in the world." "You're not serious until you get that backpack. It's like a testament to investing in yourself. The monthly fee for the data is like $4,000."

Twitch shipped Power-Ups APIs a few days ago. We just finished rolling out support across Streamlabs. Already seeing >10,000 creators receiving Power-Up alerts. Power-Ups now work with Alert Box, Goals, Stream Boss, Event List, End Credits, Tip Jar, Stream Labels, and more. Curious to see how creators use these. If you've been experimenting with Power-Ups, let me know what's working and what you'd like us to build next.

@riotgames leads as the most-streamed publisher. Of course, streaming is just one part of their vast cultural handprint, but it’s worth noting as they gear up to bring LoL Worlds stateside this year (6/7)

You can read the full report on the Streamlabs site below. What surprised you? What trends do you think we’ll see next year? I certainly have my own predictions, but I’d love to hear yours 👀 bit.ly/4okxXuN (7/7)

We just released our latest report with @StreamHatchet, our quarterly breakdown of viewership trends in the streaming space, and we’ve got a comprehensive look at how things started off in 2026. The big takeaways: -Twitch is on the rebound after slow stability in 2025 -Kick continues to grow rapidly -YouTube Gaming enjoys healthy momentum and 25% of total hours watched But let’s take a closer look…

@Fortnite is still the top game on Twitch, a testament to its versatility and attractiveness to brand-new streamers. It’s also holding strong as a UGC platform, opening the door to new creative experiences and monetization opportunities. (5/7)

@YouTubeGaming seeing steady growth is a positive signal for the platform. As YouTube aims to replace traditional TV as the heart of the living room, game streaming could be an influential force. (4/7)

Challenger platforms are on the rise. @kick continues to see increases in new channels, viewership, etc. Streamers recognize the advantages of different venues, and they’re going where they’re confident they can grow. All the more reason that multistreaming is key. New audiences = new opportunities. (3/7)

Streams = the internet’s hangout. Just Chatting was the most popular viewing category across major platforms. Audiences are showing up for the creators and their fellow community members. With IRL trending up, I expect we’ll see this trend continue as streamers take Just Chatting out of the home studio and onto the street. (2/7)

Excited to see where StockX takes this. The most successful live experiences aren't built around products. They're built around communities. If StockX can evolve buyers and sellers into a community, not just a transaction, they'll have something really interesting on their hands.

Apparently this is @kick week. Yesterday we launched Kick analytics, and today we're introducing Kick stream labels. Show Kick followers, subscribers, gifters, and more events on your stream with our Stream labels widget. It's available in Streamlabs Desktop and the Streamlabs Plugin for OBS, or you can easily add it to other broadcast software with a browser source. If you have any other ideas for new features you'd like to see, please let us know!

A lot of creators have asked me when we'd add @kick analytics to the Streamlabs dashboard. Happy to say it's live today. You can now track unique viewers, chat activity, watch time, follows, subs, and more alongside the rest of your streaming data. Looking forward to hearing what creators want us to add next.
