Note: The following method is a workaround and specific network conditions or setups may prevent it from working properly
You can get your Playstation 4 or 5 set up to send to Lightstream Studio with the following steps:
Playstation 4
- Go to Settings
- Select "Network"
- Select "Set up Internet Connection"
- Choose the option that applies to your networking setup
- Select "Custom"
- Select "Automatic"
- Select "Do Not Specify"
- Select "Manual"
- Enter the address of the closest Lightstream DNS server found at https://psdnscheck.golightstream.com/
- Select "Do Not Use"
Playstation 5
- Go to Settings
- Select "Network"
- Select “Settings”
- Select "Set up Internet Connection"
- Select your network
- Select Advanced Settings
- Under DNS Settings, choose Manual
- Enter the address of the closest Lightstream DNS server found at https://psdnscheck.golightstream.com/
- Set your Secondary DNS to 0.0.0.0
Save and you're all done!
Once you've done this you're all set to start broadcasting through the Twitch share integration and everything from your PS4 or PS5 will send to your Lightstream Studio. It is also recommended that a wired connection is used to help provide the most stable connection possible.
Can I run my own DNS server?
Yes! We even built you an open-source kit! You can visit this project (https://github.com/golightstream/lightstream-prism-dns) and follow the directions to setup your own server.
