Lightstream is what got me started into streaming. Along with my PS5 console I was able to change scenes, update my overlays, and engage with my budding community as I was just getting started.

I love all of the overlay features and features that can be integrated onto this app while live streaming. I can customize any of the templates given or create my own.
