Becoming a creator
Este conteúdo não está disponível em sua língua ainda.
Anyone with an account can stream — live streaming is open to all registered users. To earn money you’ll also complete payout onboarding and, for subscriptions, join the Creator Program.
The path at a glance
- Go live — register, confirm your email, and stream from OBS or your encoder. See Going live.
- Set up payouts — connect a Stripe account so you can receive donations and subscription revenue. See Stripe Connect onboarding.
- Turn on monetization — accept donations and, once eligible, sell channel subscriptions through the Creator Program.
- Customise your channel — profile, banner, emotes, alerts. See Channel customisation.

What you can earn from
- Donations — one-off tips from viewers, in a range of payment methods.
- Channel subscriptions — recurring monthly support across tiers, available once your channel reaches Affiliate or Partner in the Creator Program.
Before monetization setup can start, your account needs a confirmed email address, two-factor authentication enabled, and you must be 18 or over. You’ll accept the creator terms, including a content declaration, during setup. The platform can add further criteria — you’ll see the full checklist on the Monetization page.
Payouts are available for creators in supported countries: the EEA, UK, US, Canada and Switzerland.
Uploading videos
Uploading videos is separate from going live and is granted per user. Request it from the Upload page — you’ll be asked to show where you already have an audience. See Videos & uploads.
