Stream Your PS5 Games on Kick: No Capture Card Needed

Streaming on Kick from a PlayStation 5 (PS5) is a great way to share your gameplay with a wider audience. This guide walks you through the process step-by-step, using Twitch and Aircast to stream from your PS5 to Kick.

1. Setting Up Streaming on Your PS5

First, power on your PS5 and ensure it's connected to the internet. Launch the game you want to stream, then follow these steps:

Press the Create button on your controller.
Select the Broadcast option from the menu.
If you haven’t already, link your Twitch account through the broadcast settings. This is required for using Aircast later.
Once linked, click Go Live to start a stream on Twitch.

Aircast allows you to stream to multiple platforms at once. Here’s how to set it up:

Go to Aircast in a web browser and log in, or create a new account if necessary.
Select your preferred subscription plan (Aircast offers both free and paid options).
Once in Aircast, authorize it to access your Twitch account.
Click Add Stream Output and select Kick from the dropdown menu.

3. Setting Up Your Kick.com Account

Now, you need to prepare Kick for the stream:

Log into your Kick account.
Go to Settings and find the Stream Key section.
Copy your stream key, which you will need to paste into Aircast.

4. Starting the Stream on Kick

Once everything is set up:

Go back to Aircast and paste your Kick stream key into the platform.
Enable the Auto-start option to begin streaming automatically when you go live on Twitch.
Click Save.
Now, start your live stream on Twitch from your PS5, and Aircast will automatically transfer the stream to Kick.

5. Interacting with Viewers and Monitoring the Stream

While streaming, you can interact with viewers via Twitch chat. Keep an eye on your stream’s performance and adjust settings if needed, such as lowering the bitrate if you experience lag.

6. Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily stream from your PS5 to Kick, giving you access to a wider audience and making it easier to share your gameplay with the world. Happy streaming!
