Twitch
The largest platform for gamers and streamers. Supports monetization, has a Russian-speaking community and local streamers. Requires a stable internet connection and knowledge of platform rules. Donations can be connected through third-party services like DonationAlerts.

Discord
An unofficial but powerful tool for streaming within closed communities. Suitable for broadcasting games to friends or subscribers on a server. No ads and minimal latency. Works without restrictions.

YouTube Live
A simple way to start streaming. The platform supports high-quality video, is good for long broadcasts, and has donations and subscriptions through the YouTube Partner Program. Works stably, the audience is broad, not just gamers.

Kick
Kick is a newcomer among streaming platforms but is actively gaining an audience. Works in Kazakhstan without restrictions, the interface is similar to Twitch, but the streamer's income percentage is higher. Suitable for those looking for a less crowded platform.

Trovo
A platform from Tencent, focused on gamers. Available in Russian. The interface is user-friendly, and the quality of broadcasts is high. Monetization through in-game currency and donations, but the audience is still small.

Facebook Gaming
Integrated into Facebook. If you already have an audience, you can stream directly from there. Works in Kazakhstan, but with limited functionality. Good for mobile game streams and interacting with subscribers.

Steam Broadcasting
A convenient option for those who want to stream their gaming sessions to friends without extra setup. Everything happens through the Steam client, nothing additional needs to be installed. No monetization, but as an option for simple streaming — excellent.

DLive
The service positions itself as a decentralized alternative to Twitch. With a simple interface, but a small audience. Advantages include blockchain-based streams and independence from large corporations. Disadvantages include weak local support and few viewers.

StreamElements
This is not a separate platform, but an add-on to OBS — the most popular software for streaming. Allows streaming to Twitch, YouTube, Facebook with a user-friendly management interface, chat, analytics, and donations. Works without restrictions.
