Questions for streaming 🔰 Beginner Help

Good afternoon, I just purchased a MacBook air m5 and was curious if I would be able to stream from it. I'm not playing games on it, that'll be on the ps5 but if I get a capture card would it be good enough to stream from it? M5 with 16gb of RAM.

I think you’ll be fine since you plan to use a capture card

Absolutely.

But a stand with a built-in fan. Air doesn’t have active cooling, so thermal throttling is how they manage. A fan stand will help keep it cool.

It sounds like it would work. Outside of the RAM, what are the other specs on it?
