Thank bro, I couldn’t find anything online but your video explained it all perfectly, think I’ll definitely be purchasing this

[Amalia-uzgk]

i always look forward to your videos, they’re enlightening!

Thanks for making this! Been looking for a solution for when playing more demanding games and doing a single PC setup struggles a bit. I may have to give my work laptop a go for streaming those games, as it seems like the M2 is going to do much better than a GPU that's trying to play and stream at the same time. Great job on the video as well, this was short enough to keep people's attention but didn't miss any talking points.

Thanks for this video dude! Much appreciated.

That's insane! I did get this Air M2 (same color) this week and seems like I FOUND GOLD, thanks :D

This is the goated video of all videos

You covered everything now all you need is to do m3 because I’m waiting

oh my... gosh... I don't even know where to start. What an incredibly well-made video. I've been contemplating content creation for some time and you have such an incredible depth to a sub-10 minute video. Your video quality is impecable, your audio is exceptional, and - I learned something. Keep up the great work

I love all of your videos and yours sooo funny keep it up❤️

And this video is fire…

Hey bro! My stream runs well but when im playing like resident evil village…..when the certain cutscenes come on or some parts of the game are rail based….the monitor screen goes black? Any reason why this happens? Could it be my macbook or monitor? Im thinking about upgrading to the m2 to see if that fixes it….or could it just be the hdmi? Im so confused cause the game runs fine but the cutscenes just make the screen go black on my monitor ….(not the stream)

Thanks for the info on the Virtual mixer. 👍🏾

Thank you for this great review!
I usually run Youtube and Twitch at the same time (sometimes a couple of each) along with some other basic web browser pages (news, sports etc). I also play Football Manager and watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and Sky Go. I assume this laptop (base model) will be fine for that without overheating?
I currently have a £1, 000 HP laptop but am considering returning it as the battery is so poor (3-4 hours with very basic use) and it has a touch screen I don't use. Although it's very nice it's not as sleek or sexy as this M2 Macbook Air (I also love this Midnight Blue colour and it will match my iPhone 13 mini nicely).

Im proud of you, I remember i found yo channel & you only had like 13k

I can't wait for that next OBS version w/ Apple Silicon support. Man I had a bad experience with OBS but I think I have a bad install and I need to do a clean install of OBS

Awesome video! Been looking into upgrading my old 2013 MacBook Pro and potentially use it as a portable streaming setup when I’m away from home. Based on this, seems like a MacBook Pro with M2 or M3 chip would do a good enough job. Thanks for the video!

Hey love your videos and thank you so much for this, was wondering if you have a solution for mac computers streaming from ps5 with wireless headset, i'm trying to give my party voice to the stream, i used second controller method as well, seems like its not working. would appreciate your help

[StacheMelgar]

Awesome video 🙏🏽 if I’m using a PS5 and a MacBook Pro 14” w/M1Pro, how can I get the game audio to work for a livestream since I can’t change the analog setting because I’m using a chat link pro?

[KennyLamTravel]

Hi, Thanks for the video, did you try to connect your Macbook air to a 27" external monitor with everything else running?
