A New Set Up

Peoria, Arizona
February 8, 2023 4:13pm CST
I have been dealing with a dilemma when it comes with how I want to set up when it comes to work/streaming I want to sit at my desk, however my desk is right next to where my heater is and also my window cooler, which is not bad, however, when it comes to streaming...it is so bad. The noise is so loud, it is distruptive, I am sure most people who come by my stream won't mind, but I do! But I have been sitting at my bed for way too long, my back is starting to hurt after doing this set up for 5 months and I need to change things. I am currently using a dinner tray and a long slab of wood to put my laptop on and I have space for my microphone and my mouse, it is a little wonky, but I am able to sit at my desk chair, it is a little awkward to grab drinks, I still need to set up where my boys are going to sit. (Mikey and Pistachio are very pivotal pieces to my stream) so there are still some things that I need to adjust, but what is most important is helping my back and improving my body's health. If I like this set up, I can improve for a better tray and then just move on from there. So let's see what happens!

Hope you find the right set up that suits you and provides maximum comfort. If at first you don't succeed try and try again.

I hope you can find just the right set up to be comfortable and continue with your work, I do well at my PC desk and iN a computer chair you might consider a PC desk perhaps,

@DesirousDreamer then I have a question is there a way you can get an app to get a microphone onto your PC.

I have a desk, my problem is my desk is right next to my heater and my window cooler, and since I stream, all that noise would be picked up very loudly in my microphone, so I have to find a way to keep my microphone away from all that
