PS4 Facecam how to connect?

re
- in Twitch

I recently started streaming Twitch on the Ps4 (picture only).

Now microphone and facecam should be added.

I've already learned that I need a capture card.

Now to the question: How does it all have to be connected? Will the microphone and the camera be connected to the Ps4 or to the PC?

Do I have everything I need then?

Can any camera with USB be used?

You no longer have to stream via the PS4 but start the stream via the computer (e.g. Via OBS).

D. H. Your computer must receive all signals.

In other words, everything has to go to the computer.

Thanks Ben for the quick answer.

A little question still arises for me.

Then I connect the microphone, camera and capture card to the PC and start the stream via OBS.

Then everything works?

Fo

You still have to set OBS so that all incoming signals are also processed. Scenes, sources, stream key, resolution, encoder, too.

Then you can start the stream. There are enough instructions on the web. Just search for "ps4 stream with obs on twitch"

Alright, thank you very much!

Do I have to pay attention to something specific when buying a microphone and a webcam? Or are basically all suitable?

Fo

Not that I know of. Must be compatible with your operating system.
