Streaming is more than just gameplay or chatting—it's about building a community and engaging with your growing audience. Incorporating stream pets into your live stream is a creative way to take engagement to the next level.
But what exactly are stream pets, and how can they help you connect with your viewers? Let’s dive in and explore, including how Streamlabs Collectibles provide a unique twist on this idea.

What Are Stream Pets?
Stream pets are virtual companions that appear on your live stream, adding a playful yet interactive element to your broadcast. These animated or static characters can sometimes react to in-stream actions like donations, subs, or follows, and they give your viewers something fun to engage with when you may be focused on things such as gameplay.
Think of stream pets as digital mascots or cheerleaders—they can reflect your personal brand, give your channel more personality, and provide a fun experience for your audience while they’re watching. Stream pets are fun to watch and add visual interest to your stream. Viewers love seeing cute or quirky characters on screen that are as unique as the streamers who use them.
