Select a category. Choose the category that best represents what you’re doing in your stream: IRL is a good choice for “real life” streams. Use Talk Shows for group discussions and interviews. Creative is best for talking about your artistic process. Use Music to share performances or talk about making music. Social eating is great for sharing a meal with others.
