Hey everyone I'm Ham for the win and in
today's video I'm going to show you how
you can stream directly from the
PlayStation 4 and also if you got
PlayStation VR headset now you can use
the camera that supplied with it as a 2d
webcam for your stream also I'll show
you how to stream directly from your
PlayStation VR headset and how
to enable comments so you can see the
chat inside the headset itself. This is
related to my previous video where I
show you how to get chat in the headset
while streaming from OBS I thought I 'd put this
video together because one or two people
have been asking how do you set up
streaming from the PlayStation VR itself
so I'm going to cover that in this video
so here we go. So the first thing you'll
want to do is go to twitch.tv and create
yourself a new twitch account and then
click sign up. So you'll want to think of
a username, fill out all the details
create yourself an account.  You'll get a username
password and keep hold of those. So the
first thing I want to do is make sure
you're signed into the PlayStation
Network and then we're going to go over
to settings then we're going to go down
to sharing and broadcasts
we'll want to go down to link with our
services, and in this particular case
we're going to link with twitch
then we click the sign-in button
what we need to do next is follow the
instructions on the screen
and that's to go to twitch.tv/activate
and then we're going to enter
this code into the web page, so we'll do
that now
so once you've gone to twitch.tv/activate we just need to use our
username and our password to login to our Twitch account and then we just need to
enter that code that we were given
before and hit activate and that's it
you've now linked your PlayStation 4
with your Twitch account
back on the PlayStation 4 you should get
confirmation saying your playstation is
now linked with your Twitch account so
just hit okay
And now we're ready for streaming. Now that we're ready to start
streaming what you'll need to do start
the game so I've fired up Red Dead
Redemption 2 so once you're in the
game just press the share button once
and then you want to the broadcast game
play button and then pick twitch and
this is where you set the title of the
stream and you'll get some options here
whether you want to include the video or
you want to clear the microphone and
whether you want to display the
spectators comments which essentially
wraps a black border around the video
so what you can do is you can put your
title in you set the quality and go
straight away and hit the start
broadcasting button now if you want to
change any of the more advanced settings
you if you hit the options button on the
controller you'll get some of the same
options that you had on the preview
screen however you'll also get the
additional sub menu of camera video
settings under video so if you've got a
PlayStation VR and you've got a webcam
that comes with that you can use this
and so that's what I'll do now we'll go
straight into camera video settings and
then the options are just choosing the
position of the camera so you can pick
any of the corners basically, so you've got upper left,
upper right, lower left and lower
right and then you can also change the
size of the image from small through to
large so I'll stick to medium size for
this particular game resolution you can
also flip the image left and right and
then under background I've got this on
auto cut-out so this uses face tracking
to work out what parts of the image to
display or not, now you don't have to
have that you can have do not change and
it will show your room, circle cut out,
auto cuts-out which is used in the face
tracking if I move it should track me
and chromakey so if you've got a green
screen like I have you're supposed to be
able to key out the background, now I've got an Elgato green screen and
I've got it lit correctly and I've tried
with different lights but no matter what
setting
it doesn't seem to properly chrome right
out so I don't knoq if it's because the version of
the webcam I've got or if it's the color
of the screen or the lighting I've used
but I've tried different lighting it
doesn't seem to work, so you can try that
out and see if it works for you, but for me
personally the best set up for me is auto
cut-out. If you want to preview any of
these settings that you've got just
press the square button
as you scroll further down you've got
some more options such as effect so you
can give yourself a weird 
comic book effect, pixelate, Scanlines,
toy camera. Put that back to none. You
can adjust the brightness and contrast
and finally for transparency so you can
make your image fainter or more
prominent in the stream and then
press circle to go back. The next option we want to
check is the audio sharing settings so
if we jump in here, you want to make sure
you've got the audio in broadcast ticked
assuming, that is, you want the audience to be able to hear you.
So share party audio, this
allows you to share the voices of the
other people in your party chat on your
stream, now this depends on the
security settings that they've set on
that PlayStation 4 so it doesn't
absolutely guarantee they'll be coming
on to your stream and then you've got
the option to display messages to
spectators and spectators comments so
I'll just take this so you can see what
it looks like and now if we go back into
video settings we can't square again see
full screen and you basically get this
black border which shows comments from
twitch from your viewers and also if you
post comment yourself it'll appear in
that window so, personally I don't see the
need for this on Twitch because you've
got the chat area itself so I tend to
top this off if I was going to use this
Another little useful option here is comments the
speech so if you want text-to-speech you
can just turn it on and then you'll not
post a message in chat they'll read it
out to you
so once you pick the title you'll want
pick a quality, now on a PlayStation Pro
you get the option of 1080p high 60fps
and 1080p standard I believe on the
standard PlayStation 4 the options start
from 720p standard downwards, so what you
want to do is pick a quality setting
that matches your broadband upload speed
I'll show in the following videos what
the quality looks like and what the
suggested upload speed you'll need to
support that resolution and quality
This is 1080p Standard, it doesn't handle motion as well (as 1080p 60FPS)
Probable better when it's not moving
So in order to stream PlayStation VR,
you'll need a VR game up and running
once you're ready press the share button,
then hit broadcast gameplay, the select
Twitch
now you'll notice the include video from
PlayStation camera in broadcast is
grayed out and that's because the
cameras been used to track the headset
and the controller, if you want to have
your webcam in the stream itself you'll
need to have an external capture card
and a separate PC running OBS so I will
cover that in a video at later date, so
for the minute you just want to make
sure the include microphone audio is
ticked and also if you want to see
messages in the headset, you want to make
sure display messages to spectators
and spectators commenents is ticked, then enter a title, and then select a quality
setting, so on the PlayStation 4 Pro 720p
standard is the maximum quality setting
that you can have, on the standard
PlayStation it might be lower than this
but I don't have one so I'm not sure
what it is, once you're ready go down to
start broadcasting and then start
broadcasting again
That's it, you're now live broadcasting
PlayStation VR. Hopefully you found
