As a gaming livestreamer with over 50,000 YouTube subscribers, one question I get asked all the time is: "How can I share my PlayStation 4 gameplay footage on Discord?"

Getting your PS4 screen to show up in Discord is easy once you know the steps. In this guide, I‘ll compare four methods from capture cards to remote play, along with the hardware, software and settings you need for each one.

Let‘s dive in!

Method 1: Capture Card

The best way to share a smooth, high-quality PS4 feed on Discord is using a video capture card like the Elgato HD60 S+. Here‘s how to set it up:

Hardware Needed:

  • PS4 or PS4 Pro
  • PC or laptop
  • Elgato HD60 S+ (Amazon link)
  • HDMI cable

Software Required:

  • OBS Studio (free)

Steps:

  1. Connect the PS4 HDMI output to the HD60S+ input
  2. Connect the capture card‘s USB cable to your PC
  3. In OBS Video Settings, select the HD60 S+ as the Video Capture Device
  4. In the Elgato software, enable "Output to OBS"
  5. Launch your game on PS4 and go live in OBS Studio
  6. Share your OBS screen or stream key directly into Discord

Pros:

  • 1080p quality at 60 FPS
  • Ultra low streaming latency
  • High reliability for long streams

Cons:

  • HD60S+ costs around $200

Method 2: Remote Play

Using PS4 Remote Play is free and only requires a DualShock controller and the mobile app:

Hardware You‘ll Need:

  • PS4/PS5 console
