The best sounding USB microphone is also more affordable than it’s competitors and comes with an XLR cable for use with more advanced setups.

An inexpensive tool to keep your mic off your desk, at a comfortable height and out of the way when the broadcast is over.

If you are using your computer’s built-in webcam, these external webcams from Logitech will greatly improve the quality of video.

A top webcam choice of live streamers for years thanks to its reliable video quality, the Logitech C920 typically costs less than the C922x while delivering similar results.

Lighting is critical for good-quality video. These small, light-weight and portable LED light panels have adjustable intensity and temperature. Get the AC adapter with it so you don’t have to worry about charging when live streaming.

The mic I use in my home studio and one of the elite mics for radio, podcasting and live streaming. You need either a powerful audio interface or an extra source of gain such as the CloudLifter.

My favorite mic when I worked in radio, the RE20 is among the top choices for podcasting and live streaming. Like the SM7B, it needs plenty of gain.

A spectacular audio interface, mixer and recorder with outstanding preamps and analog limiters. Legitimate pro gear priced for creators. Expect a learning curve.

A notch below the MixPre-3 in audio quality, the Rodecaster Pro is among the best options for podcasters and live streamers. Cool features include 4 headphones amps, pads for playing sounders and built-in processing options.

Connect up to 4 HDMI video cameras, switch shots and output as a single USB webcam feed. Includes multiview and streaming directly from device to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch.

Can you live without multiview and direct streaming? If you answered yes, then you can have the same 4 HDMI camera inputs and high-quality video output as the Pro version at half the price!

When it was time to upgrade from a webcam, the Sony a6400 was my choice thanks to its superfast autofocus, clean HDMI output and unlimited recording time. Amazing low light performance.

Connect your DSLR or mirrorless camera, camcorder or action cam to your computer so that it appears as a webcam. Plugs directly into USB slot so an additional USB cable is not needed.
