You can broadcast your favourite games from your PlayStation 5 (PS5) to platforms like Twitch and YouTube when you’re ready to show off your gaming expertise. The PlayStation 5 can broadcast your trophy wins to the world, whether you want to share some footage with friends or you want to establish a new online streaming company. With the help of this instruction, you’ll be able to get into your streaming accounts and stream on a PlayStation 5.

How to Stream to Twitch

Your Twitch account must be linked to your PS5 before you can start broadcasting. Select Users and Accounts from the Settings menu on your PlayStation console, and then choose Link with Other Services to link your Twitch account with your PlayStation. To link your Twitch account, choose the Twitch symbol and click “Link.” As of this writing, you may either scan the QR code on the PS5 screen with a mobile device or visit Twitch.tv/activate in a web browser and input the code shown on screen to connect your Twitch account to your PS5.

From the comfort of your favourite games, you may begin broadcasting on Twitch. Press the Create button on your PS5 controller (it’s situated in upper right of D-pad), then pick the Broadcast option when you’re ready to start broadcasting (the icon appears as a radio tower).

You’ll see a Now Broadcasting banner appear on your screen when you’ve pressed the Go Live button. By clicking the “…” button, you’ll be able to make adjustments to your stream’s video and audio settings, as well as its overall quality. The stream can be stopped by pressing the Create button again and selecting the Broadcasting option. Stop the video feed by clicking the Stop Broadcast button. The Pause Broadcast option is also available if you want to temporarily cease the stream.

How to Stream to YouTube

Broadcasting on YouTube is similar to streaming on Twitch in that you first need to link your account to the system. Click the Settings menu, then select User and Accounts, and lastly Link with Other Services to link your PlayStation to your YouTube account. To begin the verification process on YouTube, click on the YouTube symbol. You may begin streaming in-game as soon as you’ve established a connection with your console.

When you’re ready to share your gameplay on YouTube, open the game you want to broadcast and hit the Create button on your PS5 controller (placed on the upper right of the D-pad). When a radio tower symbol shows in the on-screen menu, click the Broadcast option and then select Go Live. If you’re broadcasting to Twitch, you’ll be able to adjust your stream’s video and audio settings as well as its overall quality by hitting the “…” button.

You may pause the stream by pressing the Create button again and selecting the Broadcast option from the main menu. Stop the video feed by clicking the Stop Broadcast button. The Pause Broadcast option is also available if you want to temporarily cease the stream.

The Options to Consider

For example, you may choose whether or not to use your PlayStation 4 HD Camera’s video camera and microphone (if you have one). PS5 controller’s built-in microphone will be used if a separate microphone or headset is not available while allowing microphone audio. Check out our guide to the finest PS5 headsets presently on the market if you want to deliver the greatest audio for your stream.

You may choose between 720p HD (1280 x 720 pixels) and 1920 x 1080 pixels (60 frames per second) for video quality (1080p HD). As the quality of your broadcast improves, so does the amount of bandwidth required to deliver it. Lowering this parameter may be necessary if you are experiencing latency or stuttering in your broadcast.
