You can stream PS4 or PS5 gameplay to TikTok LIVE using the official PS Remote Play application and TikTok’s Mobile Gaming feature. You will not need a computer, capture card or TikTok LIVE Studio.

WHAT YOU NEED

• 1 × PS4 or PS5 console
• 1 × mobile phone or tablet
• The official PS Remote Play application

STEP 1: ENABLE REMOTE PLAY

On your PlayStation, open Settings and locate the Remote Play settings.

Enable Remote Play and make sure your console is connected to the internet. Your mobile device must also have a strong internet connection.

If you want Remote Play to connect while the console is in Rest Mode, enable the appropriate network and power settings on your PlayStation.

STEP 2: SET UP PS REMOTE PLAY

Install and open the official PS Remote Play application on your mobile phone or tablet.

Sign in using the PlayStation Network account connected to your console. Select your PS4 or PS5 and wait for the application to establish a connection.

STEP 3: CHECK YOUR GAMEPLAY

Start the game you want to broadcast.

Confirm that the gameplay picture, controls and sound are working correctly through PS Remote Play. Switch the Remote Play display to full-screen mode where possible.

STEP 4: START A MOBILE GAMING LIVE

On the same mobile phone or tablet, open TikTok.

Tap the Create button, select LIVE and choose Mobile Gaming. Add your LIVE title and configure your audience and moderation settings.

STEP 5: ENABLE SCREEN CAPTURE

Start TikTok’s screen-capture broadcast when prompted.

Return to the PS Remote Play application and display your game in full-screen mode. TikTok will capture your device’s screen and broadcast your PlayStation gameplay.
