more game streaming online whether it's on Console or PC basically popped up
0:17
overnight and it's kind of a thing on the last gen consoles it was mostly done
0:21
through external recorders such as PCS or dedicated boxes but Sony has gone
0:26
ahead and implemented live broadcasting directly to Twitch directly on the
0:30
PlayStation for console saving Gamers money and hassle this video will be a
0:35
guide for how to stream from the PS4 and I guess also an opportunity for you to
0:40
enjoy my very first gameplay commentary video on YouTube something and there's a
0:45
oh my wow did you see the monitor that guy had and these action figures this
0:49
place is awesome I wish I had a monitor like that
0:53
okay so hold on I'm going to see if I can find some like bad guys to fight or
0:56
something o bean bag chairs okay we got
1:00
some plants I'm pretty sure something really exciting is going to happen
1:04
really soon this is uh you know my very first gameplay video and is that guy on
1:08
his phone is he even working this is supposed to be an office and these guys
1:12
look like they're getting hammered and that other guy over there is just like on his phone so all right I'm going to
1:19
go like report them to their boss or something let's see if I can find his office and then there's this guy look at
1:24
this guy he has a Bluetooth thing in his in
1:27
his ear he's got a Bluetooth thing in his ear and he's holding a phone up to
1:30
his head I think he's a spy I think I'm
1:34
going to follow him where's he going now
1:38
what what is this oh yeah oh yeah super inconspicuous all right well we're we're
1:41
going to be ready for this I'm going to be broadcasting this so all you got to
1:44
do is go to broadcast gaml select twitch
1:47
then you go to the twitch website don't worry it doesn't just open up a browser
1:51
it gives you a couple of options here so you can go ahead and you can create a
1:54
new account I personally already have a Twitch account so I'm just going to go
1:57
to log where I can enter my Twitch TV
2:01
username as well as my Twitch TV password which I have of course
2:06
completely blacked out here guys because uh stealing my Twitch TV password is not
2:11
going to be a
2:15
thing so once I'm logged in I've got a few different options I can include uh
2:20
yes I can include a little video of myself in the corner if I happen to have
2:23
a PlayStation camera I can include microphone audio in my broadcast and I
2:27
can display comments on the screen or not display comments on the screen so
2:31
that'll be from the twitch chat I can also change the channel name when I'm
2:34
broadcasting and I can post a link to Facebook because I use Facebook actually
2:39
I don't use Facebook but what I will do is I'll change the name of my stream to
2:42
uh test stream or something like that so that people have some idea what's going
2:46
on although they probably still won't know what's going
2:52
on then what we can do is we can go into broadcast settings and you can manage
2:56
your account information set up the quality from you know low to medium to
3:00
high to best you can change some of the same settings that we saw on the screen
3:04
before yay then when we're done that all we got to do is go down to start broadcasting and we're ready to rock all
3:08
right so let's watch this guy here he's getting some like coffee or water or
3:12
something I see him giving me the Shifty eyes he knows I'm on to him look at that
3:17
look at that look at that the Cup's not even touching his lips there isn't even
3:20
anything in it look at that he tips it over before what is he even doing he
3:24
tipped it before it got to his mouth
3:27
then he maybe if we get it out of the garbage can we get some Clues all right
3:31
now I don't want to let him get away oh I can run and he can't that'll be a big
3:35
Advantage that'll be key for later let's see if he does anything else suspicious
3:47
here ah yes oh hey cool check that out
3:50
okay so guys you can actually see a little bit of information over on the right there you can see there's 20
3:54
people watching the stream and a couple people have commented on it in fact uh
3:58
yes there are some more comments now because people are indeed confused by my
4:03
test spy stream name yamunda yes you are
4:07
indeed on TV your mother would be proud
4:11
so I really hope that we don't get anything showing up here that's not
4:15
appropriate for broadcast to my uh my YouTube CH hold on a second he's doing
4:20
it again he's doing it again look he's holding a phone he's got a Bluetooth
4:24
earpiece in he's a bad person well I think we're
4:30
pretty much done here so thank you guys very much for checking out my first ever
4:35
game commentary video I'm GNA stop broadcasting now and uh I'll see you
4:39
back in my normal
4:43
habitat now while gameplay archiving on Twitch TV isn't supported on PS4 right
4:48
now it will be coming in the meantime if
4:51
you want to Archive your footage and or
4:54
edit it on a PC you will need a couple of things number one is an HDMI split
4:59
that removes the hdcp protection from the gaming stream these Splitters aren't
5:04
illegal but some of the things you can do with them are so be responsible and
5:08
number two is a capture device such as a more traditional PC capture station or a
5:13
standalone device that records to flash memory such as neighor media live gamer
5:17
portable or game capture HD2 these setups allow for full 1080p recording
5:23
I'd like to thank you guys for watching my very first you know whatever we would
5:28
call that video that was in the middle this one and I'd also like to thank Twitch TV for being the ones to provide
5:33
us with a PlayStation 4 the one that we used for our console PC image quality
5:38
comparison in exchange for us simply doing a guide on how to stream from PS4
5:42
to Twitch TV which is something that I suspect a fair number of you are
5:45
interested in anyway like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked
5:49
it leave a comment if you have anything else to express to us and as always
