Kai Cenat has released the official trailer for Streamer University, a YouTube-based series focused on the realities of full-time streaming. The project was first teased in January and is set to premiere May 14 on Cenat’s YouTube channel.
The series is backed by YouTube and produced by Cenat Studios. It features a mix of interviews, on-set moments and personal insights from prominent creators, including Pokimane, Adin Ross, AMP’s Agent 00 and Cenat.
What Streamer University actually is
Streamer University is not a traditional course or training platform. Instead, it follows a documentary-style format that focuses on entertainment while also offering behind-the-scenes context on streaming careers.
The content is designed to be publicly available on YouTube and does not require sign-ups or payment. It emphasizes lived experience and personal perspective rather than formal instruction.
YouTube’s involvement
YouTube’s role in supporting the series is part of its broader push to position itself as a platform that prioritizes creators. The company has recently rolled out monetization tools and Shorts incentives, and this series reflects an interest in developing creator-led programming.
By backing a series centered on creator experience, YouTube is investing in peer-to-peer education and organic storytelling over branded initiatives.
What this means for new creators
For early-stage streamers, Streamer University may serve as an accessible way to learn how established creators manage content, growth and burnout. It offers a closer look at the day-to-day work of streaming through first-person accounts.
While not a structured educational product, the series could become a reference point for creators looking to better understand what’s involved in turning content into a career.
Streamer University premieres May 14 on Kai Cenat’s YouTube channel.
