Setup a Twitch account before streaming on the PlayStation 5

You can easily setup a Twitch account from a phone or a computer. It is recommended to download the Twitch app on your mobile device, in order to adjust stream settings with the stream manager.

Amazon’s streaming platform also offers a Creator Camp that lets you design your ideal profile. This includes a profile picture, a bio, channel banner, profile color, and a stream schedule, among other things.

Last, but not least, you can ensure that your channel does not fall prey to toxicity and hate speech. Twitch’s moderation tool, AutoMod, blocks inappropriate or harassing chat with a powerful moderator control.

Make the best use of the Create button on the DualSense controller

After setting up a Twitch account, there’s not much left to do. You need to link your streaming account to the PlayStation network by simply following the directions on the screen and scanning the QR code. If you’ve already done this with the PS4, it is even easier to migrate it to the PS5.

Keep note that both linking and migrating require two-factor authentication.

The PS5 DualSense controller is the most useful accessory that helps in streaming games. Press its Create button while playing any game to avail several Create options, including Twitch. The controller also has a mic and you can easily broadcast audio from it.

Add a stream title, customize overlay position and choose the desired video quality options and you’re ready to go live. To stop streaming, press the Create button and click on Stop Broadcasting.
