The streaming scene has continued to grow in size, competing with traditional video platforms like YouTube. Thanks to this, it makes sense that platforms like the PlayStation 5 will want to ensure that players can stream their gameplay on the platform of their choosing.
TikTok may be primarily known for its short-form content, but many users also utilize its streaming capabilities. The good news for PS5 owners is that Sony lets them stream on TikTok directly from their console, making things much easier.
How Do You Stream on TikTok From Your PS5?
Unlike with platforms like Twitch and YouTube, streaming from your PS5 on TikTok isn’t too straightforward. On the contrary, it requires a workaround. Before anything, ensure you have the essentials that are required to stream on TikTok, including a microphone, good quality headphones, and a facecam that you can use if you want to showcase your face to your audience.
With that done, the first step is to have access to TikTok Live Studio. For this, do the following:
- Go to Google on a laptop or PC and download TikTok Live Studio
- Ensure you have access to TikTok Live Studio, which can be done by applying for access. The requirements for this will vary depending on the user’s account history
With TikTok Live Studio downloaded, the next step is to download the PS Remote Play application on your PC or laptop. This is fairly straightforward, as you can download the application from the official PlayStation website.
Finally, with the PS Remote App downloaded, link it to your PlayStation account, automatically linking with your PS5. This will also let you connect your PS5 controller to your PC or laptop, while still controlling the actions on the console.
With the setup done, you now want to open both the TikTok Live Studio and PS Remote Play apps. With that done, just select the PS Remote Play tab on your TikTok Live Studio application and go live. This will let you stream on TikTok from your PlayStation 5.
