How to Stream on Twitch with a PS4 and capture card

In order to stream on Twitch with a PS4, you’ll need a capture card. A capture card is a device that captures the video and audio output of your PS4 and converts it into a format that can be streamed online.

There are many different types of capture cards available, but we recommend the Elgato HD60 S. It’s compatible with Windows or Mac computers and will work for any console you want to stream from.

It also has an HDMI cable included in the box so you don’t have to worry about purchasing one separately.

1. Simply connect the HDMI cable from your PS4 to the back of the Elgato HD60 S and use a USB connection to plug in the other end.
2. Once connected, open up OBS (a free program) and add a source called Elgato Game Capture.
3. Next, go over to Settings at the top right corner of OBS and select Basic Streaming Settings.
4. For streaming resolution: you can use 720p 30fps. For encoding: you use H264
5. Click Apply then OK and hit Start Recording on the bottom left side of OBS.
6. You’re now ready to start broadcasting.

Conclusion

If you followed the above steps, congrats! Your Playstation 4 is now fully setup for streaming.
