It’s also possible to narrow down searches with more advanced criteria like if monetized streams are allowed. By searching for a game, users can check if it’s okay to stream and see if there are any warnings they should be aware of. The site acts as a database that puts guidelines for various games into one handy location. That’s where the “Game Streaming Guideline Database” comes in.

Not every title can be freely streamed, and in some cases, companies place restrictions on or outright forbid streaming their games. But when streaming, one thing that can’t be ignored is the existence of streaming guidelines.
