PlayStation

A real chat desk while you play PlayStation

Connect the Twitch or YouTube channel you Broadcast to. StreamChum is the phone or laptop next to the TV: chat you can read, timeouts that land, automod, and briefs on whoever is talking. PS5 Broadcast stays how you go live.

  • Chat on a second screen, not the Broadcast overlay
  • Timeout, delete, and ban on the channel you connected
  • Automod and timers keep running while you are in the match
  • Viewer briefs on whoever is talking, plus a seat for your mods

What you get

Connecting a channel turns the desk on

Native console chat is an overlay on the game. StreamChum is a real Live Center on another screen. That is the whole first hour.

Chat

A feed you can read

Messages from the channel you connected land in one feed on a phone, tablet, or laptop. You are not squinting at the overlay while you play.

Mods

Timeouts that land

Delete, timeout, or ban from the same row. The action hits the source platform, not a restream box. Automod and timers keep running in the match.

People

Know who is talking

AI briefs on whoever is chatting, plus a community file that builds itself. Invite mods to the same desk on their own login, so you are not the only one watching chat.

Start now

Sign up. Connect. Keep broadcasting.

01

Create an account

Google, Twitch, or email. Fourteen-day desk trial, no card. Sign up takes a minute.

02

Connect the channel you Broadcast to

Settings, Channels. Twitch or YouTube, whichever you go live on. Connect both if you switch nights. Kick waits until you add a capture card.

03

Go live from the console

Same as last week: PS5 Broadcast. Open Live Center on the other screen and run the show from there.

Questions

What connecting actually does.

Live Center on a phone, tablet, or laptop. That is the chat from the channel you connected, timeouts and deletes that land on that platform, automod, timers, Actions, viewer briefs, and a seat for your mods. The console keeps encoding. Until you connect, none of that is on.

Later, if you want

The picture is a separate step

The desk above does not need a capture card. Add one when you want a webcam on the layout, branded overlays, or Twitch, YouTube, and Kick from a single encode. Connecting the channel first still pays off: Live Center stays the same.

01

HDMI into a card

PS5 HDMI out into the card. Same idea on PS4 if that is still your box. Elgato, AVerMedia, and similar devices show up in Studio as a camera.

02

Build the scene

Game from the card, webcam, and the overlays you already branded. Chat and alerts sit on the layout.

03

Go live from Studio

Toggle destinations in StreamChum. Hit Go live in Studio. Already on OBS? Pair the plugin instead. You do not need both.

Go live everywhere. Run the desk from one place.

Connect Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, go live from StreamChum Studio, then run the rest of the show from one desk.
