Hi Kaidyn! Great question. You can start by starting a Youtube channel. You can also make a Twitch account and stream on both Youtube and Twitch. Download a streaming software like OBS or streamlabs to help you add things to your stream. Watch some videos to see how to set it up.
Figure out what games you want to play and make a schedule for yourself to stream for a certain amount of time and on specific days.
Make a Tiktok and upload your stream and video highlights to generate more interest in your channel.
Check out other streamers channels to get inspiration of how you want to do things.
If you want to have a visual setup, make sure you have good lighting and a camera. Basic ones are all you need to start with. Don't buy an expensive setup right away. Save up money for it for the future.
Make sure when you're streaming that you interact with your viewers and supporters. Answer as many comments on your social media that you can. Also make a twitter, or any other platform where you can promote yourself.
And the most important part-- getting paid. After you have a certain number of subscribers or followers, you can enter a Twitch program for creators and they will pay you. You can also set up donations via Paypal or other service on your stream so that people can donate to you.
Make sure you ask your parents first before doing any of this and ask them for help if you need it. ***
Let your friends know about your channels and socials and ask if they can follow you!
Good luck! Hope this answered your question.

The most common way is to become a Content Creator. Either by streaming on Twitch or YouTube as you play. Or recording that gameplay and turning it into videos for YouTube, TikTok or other video platforms. This can take time and effort before it starts to actually make money though. You need to build up fans and subscribers for many years.
You might want to also consider a career as a Video Game Tester, or Quality Assurance (QA). Every game has people who play it over and over again looking for bugs or problems and telling it to the team. This means doing a lot of the same stuff repeatedly, and playing that specific game. But it is a way to be paid to play games all day.
