Donations/tips can be sent in a variety of ways.

If you want to show your support for the project and its team members by making an optionally recurring financial contribution,
then please take a look at the most recent or past contributions to one of Streamlink's repositories, issue trackers and
discussion forums on GitHub, and send your donations/tips directly to the people involved.

**Shutdown of Streamlink's Open Collective account**

In 2017, Streamlink started using Open Collective as a platform in order to receive tips from financial contributors for
supporting the team and for covering expenses. However, due to the composition of the team and the way work on this free
open source software project is done by individual team members on a variable and voluntary basis, it was determined that
the Open Collective account was not working as planned, and it was eventually shut down in 2023.
