For streaming console games I'm using a Magewell Capture Card, which has been incredible for streaming games off the Nintendo Switch.
As far as lighting goes, I've got an 18 inch ring light mounted behind my Logitech C920 webcam that provides great even lighting on my face, and then 2 separate LED panels mounted to provide fill light on my green screen.
Since I switched to the Steelseries Arctis 5's that hasn't been an issue, because of the elastic strap they have which alleviates the pressure on the top of your head.
Design
I've also been using Pretzel Rocks recently for royalty-free music to avoid muting on my VODs and avoiding content-ID claims.
Media
My name is Kate Stark and I am a Twitch Partner and full-time broadcaster at twitch.tv/kate.
I use Open Broadcast Software, AKA OBS.
For music I tend to use Spotify.
My backend alert system is run through Layer One.
