    You don't need a camera to do a live broadcast on Twitch (and if anyone tells you otherwise, you tell them to go suck an elf). There are plenty of broadcasters on Twitch who do not use a cam, for one reason or another, and they do just fine. You don't need a super heavy PC, or even dual-cast (using two PCs to broadcast, one is your "broadcasting rig" & the other is your "gaming rig"), though don't expect to be able to broadcast at 1080p/60 fps (the majority of Twitch viewers can't even watch a stream at that rate anyway). Not that you'll be able to broadcast at that setting anyway if you're not partnered. I do recommend to at least get a cheap mic until you can afford a better one. Just be yourself and keep talking, even if you have zero viewers (or they're all lurkers).

    Do note that should you play music that you don't have permission to play, your VOD will be muted for the duration of the song(s). (This includes if you're playing MLB 15 and you play the music available in the game. Your VOD will be muted.) And if you decide to play non-in game music, I recommend Popskyy, FamilyJules7x & Danny Baranowsky. Danny has explicitly stated that anyone playing his music on their broadcasts shouldn't have their VODs muted, but it won't hurt to ask all three for permission before-hand.
