How to stream games to PlayStation 5 using Twitch

Sony’s PlayStation 5 is finally here, and it’s more than just a regular gaming console. A recent blog post by Twitch’s Community Marketer explains how players can stream games to it.

The PS5 offers everything you need to stream games; therefore, there is no need to set up a PC or laptop if you have the next generation console from Sony.

DIVE MORE DEEP

Set up a Twitch account before streaming to PlayStation 5

You can easily configure a Tic account from a phone or computer. It is recommended that you download the Twitch app on your mobile device, in order to adjust the feed settings with the feed manager.

Amazon’s streaming platform also offers a Creator Camp that allows you to design your ideal profile. This includes profile picture, biography, channel banner, profile color, and broadcast schedule, among others.

Finally, you can make sure that your channel doesn’t fall prey to toxicity and hate speech. The Twitch moderation tool, AutoMod, block inappropriate or harassing chats with powerful moderation control.

Make the best use of the Create button on the DualSense controller

After creating a Twitch account, there isn’t much left to do. You need to link your streaming account to the PlayStation network by simply following the on-screen instructions and scanning the QR code. If you’ve already done this with the PS4, it’s even easier to migrate it to the PS5.

Note that binding and migration require two-factor authentication.

The PS5 DualSense controller is the most useful accessory for streaming games. Press its Create button while playing any game to take advantage of multiple creation options, including Twitch. The controller also has a mic and you can easily stream audio from it.

Add a stream title, customize the overlay position and choose the desired video quality options and you are ready to go live. To stop broadcasting, press the Create button and click on Stop broadcasting.

DIVE MORE DEEP

A few hours after its release, Sony’s next-generation console is already out of stock at several retailers. It certainly owes this success to its attractive proprietary titles and additional features like streaming itself.

Will you be using a PS5 for streaming or do you still prefer a PC or PC setup?
