Question / Help Can't stream OBS and Ps4 at the same time!?!?

[Bibi Morales]

I can stream either of them individually through Twitch. However, if I start streaming my Ps4 gameplay then add my OBS stream, I get an error that says "OBS may not be able to reach server". If I start the OBS stream first then add the Ps4 gameplay, the gameplay won't stream and my Ps4 just keeps saying "Preparing". Please advice. Thank you very much!

You can only stream to Twitch from one device at a time, yes.

To stream from a second device at the same time you would need a second Twitch account and a second stream key.

But then how do I combine my gameplay with the graphics/images from OBS into one Twitch stream?

You need a capture device to get video footage from your console into your computer.

For use with OBS on MacOS I suggest Magewell, BlackMagic or AJA.

Avoid Elgato.
