Clementine Music Player is an open source crossplatform Qt5 Music player with very modern and visually attractive UI, that makes it ideal for playing music while occasionally showing the player on stream and dont get everyone bored quickly, it uses few resources and disk space because its C, uses less resources than Spotify, and uses no Network by default.

It has a playlist with "Mood bars" that represents the mood of the song using colors (sad music, happy music, slow paced music, etc).

Twitch Extensions

Few Twitch extensions for tech streams, random order, as example, theres always more on the Twitch catalog.

Something to consider for tech streams is that sometimes the most popular and effective Twitch Extensions for other categories can fail on tech streams, that tend to have less than 100 viewers, because if the extension is too Bits hungry no one will really use it, so Twitch Extensions without Bits, at least for basic functionality are preferred.

The Gaming stream extensions are over-saturated, the Tech stream extensions are underrated.
