Im new to speedrunning and i wanted to ask... do i need to record or can i just stream my gameplay?

When you stream your Game, you usally have it recorded as well. You can either record it while you're streaming (In OBS, check some Settings and you'll be able to find it), or you can enable a twitch-setting which saves the stream online on twitch for some weeks (I think it was 4 weeks). In that time you're able to cut/"highlight" your run from the stream and it'll be made to a permanent video which you can also export to YT if you like.

If you have it set, Twitch will automatically save your past streams and hold them for 2 weeks. From there you can highlight any points you want to keep, funny moments, glitches and PBs. You can export these highlights to Youtube if you have your account linked up, which I recommend doing as Twitches playback system isn't particularly good, at least in my experiences.
