How to start streaming in Georgia from zero

To start, a computer or console, a stable internet connection, a microphone and ideally a camera are enough. High-end gear is not required, you improve quality over time.

The most common free software for broadcasting is OBS Studio. It combines your scenes, camera and alerts into a single stream.

Pick a platform where your audience already is, for example Twitch or YouTube. Name your channel clearly and add a short description.

For your first stream, choose one topic or game, speak out loud and engage with your viewers. A consistent schedule matters more than a perfect start.

So viewers can donate, add a donation alert and share your donation link. Viewers pay with any bank card, Georgian or foreign, with no registration, so supporters abroad and the Georgian diaspora can donate too.

The donation appears on stream instantly via an OBS Browser Source, and the money lands in a Georgian bank in GEL.

Many beginners search DonationAlerts or Streamlabs when they want donation alerts or OBS setup. Those tools are often built for other markets: foreign wallets or awkward payouts.

On Donator you keep the same OBS alert habit, but money lands in GEL on TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used another service, you can swap only the Browser Source URL.

Many streamers start with DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, because those are the names people type when they search for an OBS donation alert, a donation page, or an alternative to a foreign tool. StreamElements often shows up in the same shortlist.

In Georgia those products are often built for other markets: foreign wallets, awkward withdrawals, or fees that never land cleanly in GEL. Patreon and PayPal still fit some creator formats, but they do not always replace live stream donations with payout to a Georgian bank.

Donator is built so a viewer can pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, the alert can show in OBS right away, and the money settles in GEL to TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, you can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
