Hello,

I'm trying to set up OBS to stream my PS4 via capture card to Discord, but OBS asks for a stream key everytime I want to Start Streaming. Discord doesn't have stream keys, how do I work around this?

Thanks!

That isn't really "streaming" in the same way and you don't need OBS at all to share your capture card through discord, you just select it from the "capture devices" tab when you go to share a window.

I have done that and it technically works, but doesn't provide any game audio, which OBS could help with since I can add the audio input from my capture card. For whatever reason, Discord doesn't give me that option... Either way, what do I do about the stream key?

You can select the audio here

As I mentioned OBS is not needed at all for this and you don't press the "start streaming" button regardless.
