How To Use Streamlabs With Ps4 Remote Play
Having a stable as well as good upload internet speed is essential to achieving the best possible streaming experience for your viewers. If you are unsure of what your upload speed is then you can easily know by using any of the internet test speed websites. This will give you all the information you need regarding your internet’s upload and download rate.
It is pretty obvious that you would need a PlayStation 4 to stream PS4 games, but did you consider the temperature it sits at? Overheating is an issue on every console and the PS4 is no exception. When consoles overheat, they lose quality in their performance which will be relayed when trying to stream through choppy framerate and unresponsiveness. No matter how fun a streamers personality is, if their video quality is bad then the viewing experience won’t be great.
The best way to ensure that the quality of your stream is top-notch is to have a computer that can handle uploading your content. Any modern-day computer, or at least a computer that has a relatively good CPU/GPU, will be perfect for keeping the stream consistent. Through connecting your PlayStation 4 to your computer you can run the feed directly into your Streamlabs OBS or XSplit all the while being able to incorporate your twitch overlays and facecam. Streamlabs OBS gives you much more control over your stream setting, unlike PS4 direct stream which only gives you limited choices, you are actually able to incorporate other additions like widgets and recording your content.
Knowing this, how do you go about streaming your PS4 content to your computer?
Streaming your PS4 content to your computer can be done with no cost and little to no setup. Thanks to the passionate team at PlayStation working hard on their ecosystem, we have been provided very useful software like their remote play. Remote Play is the bread and butter of how you can stream your content for free as the software itself has no cost and the direct download can be found on their website. In summary, this software allows you to connect the program to your PS4 through an account which then gets relayed back to the program like video. It is this application that you will pass into your OBS to get your PS4 stream up and running.
Your PS4 stream might in time extend towards other consoles like XBOX and Switch. This means that investing in a capture card now might be the recommended option. What a capture card does is take the information that is normally passed out through the HDMI cord and instead reads that data into an application on your computer. Where this differs from above is that it can read the output from any console with an HDMI output. The downside to the capture card is that it costs money. If you plan to only stream PS4 then Remote Play might be better but if you want to branch out then the reliability of a capture card can’t be beaten.
All the information above should give you the knowledge you need to get your PS4 stream up and running. There is more information still to learn about creating the perfect stream experience so make sure to check out articles on how to start streaming so that you can combine it with your PS4 knowledge to create the perfect stream.
