Quadrant reveals Elgato as Official Streaming Equipment Partner
Formula 1 star Lando Norris’ gaming and lifestyle brand announces first key partner
Quadrant has today (10 September) revealed a long-term partnership with world-leading audio-visual technology provider Elgato. As a popular gaming content channel and streaming hardware organisation, both companies occupy prominent positions in the video sharing arena and a collaboration between the two is a natural fit, signalling Quadrant’s first official partnership.
The Munich-based streaming solutions brand offers a broad range of innovative audio-visual products including microphones, webcams and lighting as well as interface decks and capture devices that are used by content creators across all video sharing platforms.
As Quadrant’s Official Streaming Equipment Partner, Elgato will unlock the combined audience of the channel’s prestigious talent team – Lando Norris, FNG, Aarava, SuperGT, RiaBish, Fifakill and Max Fewtrell – collectively amassing over three million YouTube subscribers, enabling them to reach an all-new viewership for the first time.
Norris’ premium lifestyle and gaming brand, meanwhile, has witnessed its fanbase grow exponentially since its conception in November 2020 (100% in just six months), producing entertaining and engaging content for its channels during the last 10 months.
The partnership promises to to be mutually beneficial with Quadrant members receiving an updated streaming set-up, including green screens, capture cards, microphones, lighting products, mounting solutions, stream controllers and Elgato’s new-for-2021 face cams.
Together, the two organisations are set to harness a long-term partnership to deliver top quality content to global audiences on premium streaming hardware.
Jamie MacLaurin, Chief Sporting Officer, Quadrant commented:
“We are really excited to announce Elgato as Quadrant’s first major partner. This is a brand that is synonymous with content creation and streaming across the globe and we are incredibly happy to have both their knowledge and experience on board.
“This partnership is a testament to the hard work put in by the team over the past 10 months and we cannot wait to see what creative content this collaboration produces.”
Tom Hildreth, Senior Partnerships Manager, Elgato commented:
“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Quadrant. After following them closely since their formation at the end of 2020, they have shown they aren’t afraid to try new things and create unique, high-quality content. With a growing roster of talented creators, an engaged community and a strong brand, Quadrant is a team we are thrilled to be supporting and working with.”

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
