Super helpful. Thank you for makes this video!
I 1000% appreciate you and your expertise. New streamer here. This is the all in one video I was looking for. Thank you!
You are so helpful and informative. I’ve just got interested in streaming on my Xbox
Thank you for breaking this down. Very informative, very much appreciated
You’re welcome!
This was wonderfully detailed and specific. Great advice my guy.
Great video, really helpful, thank you.
This is exactly what I needed to see
i love the point youy made at the end
Great video! Dude nailed it...
I very much appreciate this video, it answered so many of my questions
Glad it was helpful!
Just started streaming and have been binge watching a lot of your vids. Thanks for your help 🙏🏼
LOVE THIS! Thank you for the support!
Awesome video my dude
This a great and crazy informative video for anybody looking to stream. Thanks Cy!
Your great im learning so much i just became a twitch affiliate and i only stream on my ps5 so i am still learning your videos help alot
Congrats on affiliate!
Your video was very helpful thanks for that information!
Thank you for the comment!
Finally someone who explains this clear! I didn't think anyone made a good video explaining this!
Love this comment!
So I ordered the mic and the capture card you recommended. Not sure exactly how to hook everything up yet. But I will try and figure it out when it comes in. Again thanks so much!
Bro great information for those who beginners like myself
A good alternative to a mini pc is a laptop, as it can be used as a 2nd monitor for OBS.
Thank you!
Hi, I'm just a french people who want to start. I wanted to thank you for your advice, probably the best I've ever heard. 👍
Hey buddy I just found your channel and I like all the information you have provided and I just started streaming from my xbox. I was wondering that laptop you recommend, it is it still good as of right now? Or is there better ones out there that are budget friendly? Christmas is around the corner so it would be a great present for myself lol
Great information just subscribed and me m trying to kearn how to stream 😅
you are a great person! thank you!
Thank you!
GO CARDS!! Thanks for the video!
*throws wallet at the screen* - you had me at "it survived a toddler"
LOVE THIS COMMENT
This comment is perfect!
With the webcam does it plug into your ps5 or your pc since this is a console video? My pc is across the room from where i sit with my ps5. Also i heard that you get lag and or cant record your party audio when youre using just a headset or something? So id love to know more details about how all this works
Hey great video has helped alot. I have purchased the same mini pc, but it is struggling to stream clearly from my xbox. Saying the CPU is overworking. Is there anyway to fix this issue and is upgrading the mini PC possible ?
Well explained.
great video! do you have a video showing how to setup the mirabox with a PS5 to stream? I'm using my gaming headset to record audio but i don't get sound captured from the mirabox when i use the headphones. i need a fix
Would a Beelink SEI8 Mini PC Windows 10 Pro mini pc work for using stream labs with a hd60s capture card?
that budget capture card, mirror box I think is what you called it does it allow for the chat Link cable from elgato so I can still use a headset
Does the capture card you recommended here support 120hz passthrough as well?
Do you think a MacBook Pro i9 15inch 32 ram 1tb and ps5 set up is good ? Or should go with a tower pc with my ps5? Thanks
Is there any way to remove the twitch broadcast bar when streaming from Xbox series s?
I'm streaming from my PS4, I plan on getting the mini pc and capture card that you recommended. I will play COD from my PS4 but OBS will run from the mini pc right? So I'll need a separate monitor and keyboard for the mini pc right?
What is your webcam frame how u do it in vertical with the light on the edges? Do u have a tutorial for it? And thanks for the video, u earned a sub
Hey I was looking at the mic and it says it's not compatible with xbox But I stream using an el gato. Would I be able to just plug the mic into the el gato and still play using my xbox?
I want to stream I have watched ur other video a while back and set up the overlay but I still have issue with the brb and starting soon screen shortcuts key commands not working or do they only when u start the live. can I start streaming without a webcam and I haven’t talked on mic much in the few streams I have done because there is no one there watching I only have 10 followers and probably bots and a few family members?? Is that important in the beginning? I like
to play Red dead online and was going to just mess around on there to get used to streaming. What do u think? Or is it better to play a gameplay of an actual game and not just free roam game? Not sure if ur familiar with the game. Thanks great videos. I don’t understand the whole brand yourself either
Hey, I’m looking to get into streaming. Do I need both a laptop and capture card to start streaming Xbox one?
Here’s a question, I am in Australia and run a e sports league with commentators on streams. If we have commentators in different locations logging into a central PSN accounts what the best way to get overlays etc. if I use a capture card on my end, it wouldn’t work on their end - can you help? How can I reach out to you?
I love the video on this topic plus all of your videos. Very informative vids. Do you still recommend the laptop in this video or do you have another recommendation? Would that laptop need an external capture card? Thank You very much
Hello! Yes, I still recommend that laptop. Also, you will definitely need a capture card if you want to capture a console for streaming
Also, thank you for the kind words!
Good video 👍
Please can you do a video on how mini-pc’s and capture cards work?
I have a question about cloud bot. My question is, does cardboard work with Twitch only or, does it work with UA-cam as well? My reason for asking is because I am a visually impaired streamer and I use both services. One thing I have on twitch is wise, bought along with nightbot for moderating my check. One thing I like about Weisbart is when someone follows it tells me out loud, using the PS fives screen reader, who followed as well as what person is chatting and what they say. I was wondering if cloud bought what do the same thing for me on UA-cam or not? I’m also curious, would I have to pay to sign up for stream labs and to get cloud box, set up if it does work in the same way for UA-cam. This is my great help and I hope that my comment helps those that need it. Hope you’re having a great day 4:48 and staying warm and safe.
great work guys - need some help on our streaming :)
So thank you for your help but how do you actually Use a AWOW on a Series X Xbox . Thank you
Great video man I made affiliate by playing a lot of splitgate then some warzone but now I’m transitioning into overwatch and have died down compared to where I was any advice?
Thanks for the video !! I am streaming straight off my PS5 - have you got any ideas for talking to my viewers without my teammates hearing ? We were playing apex legends last night, had a few people talking in chat & I just respond to them but teammates can hear me responding. Thanks
Enable press to talk
Can you use all of this stuff for ps5? I just see ps4 in all the little details, but I’m wanting to stream from ps5
Thank you for making this video!!! whenever I see people like you im reminded of my parents telling me you'll never make money playing video games
im confused cuz when i go to the cloud bot option it makes me download a file but when i go back into the app it dosent change anything
Or would the mini pc your talking about be I’m using my yeti mic and logic Tec webcam
Is the Cyperpower PC pre-built so I don't have to set it up?
Can u use a mini pc with a laptop for enhancements
I am coming home from a long hospitalization. I am officially disabled now, so I wanted to try streaming now that I have the time. Can I stream from my old Xbox One X and game from my Xbox Series S? I kind of wanted to try and do this with what I have before laying out some money. Thoughts?
Hey. I just streamed my first video on twitch last night. I setup overlay expert extension and it worked great during the live stream. But idk why it won't show my overlays when I go back to watch the stream. Is there a way to do this or does it only do the overlay while live and then take it off once you're done live streaming?
It only works when live through overlay expert. Glad things worked well when love though!
I watch on a laptop or iPad as I am streaming live and u can see what the live looks like with the overlay
Question about the mini pc. Elgato capture cards and most I’ve seen usually require you to have a dedicated graphics card. Are you able to run an elgato on the mini pcs? I didn’t seem to have a graphics card.
You don’t need a dedicated graphics card for a capture card. Most processors have integrated graphics, and the chip in this pc does. I ran 2 capture cards at one time off a mini pc. A cam link and a Hd60s. Both from elgato
@@DarkenedCyrus Apparently they dpnt have the S on Elgatos site anymore. They only have the x and s+. For the x for example it says you need a Nvidia geforce gtx 10xx or better. So... i can just ignore this if i want a mini pc? Do you know what those requirements are for then if they arent actually neeed? I just dont want to buy a mini pc and then have issues streaming.
I'm planning to stream on Twitch from Xbox Series X instead... are there setup options for console streaming instead of PC?
I'm a bit confused, I hope you could help me.
I did love the video and i learn a lot but few bits I got lost on.
What is the point of getting a capture card? Doesn't the app already do that for you?
Also, the mini PC, what is the purpose of it? I got lost when you glossed over it?
Capture card is to connect your console to a streaming software to have custom overlays and such added on in that software. Something like Lightstream removes this need, but still isn't as full featured as doing it through OBS and using a computer to stream.
The mini PC is if you want to start streaming using a capture card with your console and streaming through a program like OBS. It's a cheap alternative to building a full fledged PC and can be a practical way to get into more advanced looking streams.
Hey Cyrus, I’m thinking of buying the Lenovo slim 7 pro x 14.5 inch screen. It comes with ryzen 9 32gb ram with nvidia 3050. I want to use this for streaming with obs from my ps5 and also edit using this laptop. Will this be okay and enough?
Thanks
Totally should be!
Thinking about getting the Mini PC but surely i would need a graphics card for encoding right?
You don’t have to. You can use x264 and encode with the CPU
I can't get cloudbot to show up in the options on the Streamlabs dashboard
What about a chat link!?! Do u need it to hear your teammates for cross play??
i recommend the MOANO au--pm421 its a USB microphone and costs around 50 pounds. the sound quality is great and you can mute/unmute with the touchscreen button on the mic (you can also change how loud it is with the knob) the only downside is that it doesnt work with xbox. Please could you tell me some microphones that are compatible with xbox that has decent quality and is affordable. Thank you
P.S very good and helpful video
Hey! One more question. Do you recommend use YUY2 or MJPEG profile with MiraBox?
YUY2 will have better results, but more lag. MJPEG will be faster, but won’t be as clear.
will night bot work the same
Love this video im a small streamer starting out on nothing but a razer ringlight cam and xbox series s my only question is with the mini pc what would i use it for? Sounds stupid but im not from a laptop pc background thanks!
Mini PC for streaming!
@@DarkenedCyrus legend for messaging back, so i would need that and a monitor? Sorry like i say im useless with all this any way to contact you?
Doesn’t the series s have a HDMI in for entertainment stuff like the Xbox one did? If so, you could use that, but you’d need a monitor if you wanted to see OBS and your game.
Can always jump in our discord
@@DarkenedCyrus no i don’t think the series s has a hdmi in port only an out.. i used the twitch overlay you did and it works although it doesn’t work for mobile which you said but its an upgrade none the less
@@DarkenedCyrus do you still have your coupon for lightstream setting it up now!
And good alternative to the capture card you suggested? Because that particular one is currently unavailable.
Hello! Which card are you referring to?
Hey I know this is an old video, but I was wondering if you have ever been able to get a Streamdeck to work with Lightstream?
I believe it uses hotkeys to change scenes, so maybe creating hotkeys to switch scenes? That might be the only customization you have
@@DarkenedCyrus thank you so much for replying!! If I get it working I'll let you know!
@danjaymz please do!
Hey Man it's me again! I have a little question to you!. Do you know why my MiraBox has desynchro audio and video on stream? I see in StreamLabs OBS that audio should be ok with video but on stream is deschynchronized. I use MiraBox to capture my Xbox Series S. On my PC I use NVENC codec to stream.
If it is fine in Streamlabs but off on stream, that’s an encoder problem, not the capture card. Might have some settings that are impacting your audio timing adjusted in a weird way.
@@DarkenedCyrus I found a solution for that problem. In free time I will link you a solution :)
Hey! This is a pretty late comment but i’m really looking into getting that mini pc, i have an elgato hd60s. Will that work fine with streaming my xbox and will there be any issues like frame dropping on streamlabs?
It all depends on frame rate expectations. If you want 1080p 60fps, you might want to think of a more dedicated rig. Simple 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps? Will do great. Here's a more updated option for the same price. amzn.to/3ztg8AS
Hey man! Great video. Could you create video how exactly stream console using capture card and PC?
Got you fam. Mind if I use this comment in the video?
@@DarkenedCyrus No problem! Feel free to use it! I watched your video and it’s really helpful. I have got a PC with 1660gtx and i59600k 8GB Ram so I get wonder how to connect all those stuff together to be able to setup audio from console, pc and my microphone all together. :)
So whit the laptop i can make stream whit quality of 1080p 60fps? I play on console xbox series s and im looking a laptop to stream my console
With its encoder it’s definitely able to stream that
can confirm that my hyperX headset has a good-ish sounding mic (7/10 at the VERY least) i was using a usb mic near my AC and my viewers could hear it, but then i had encoding issues and wanted to relieve stress from my computer so i thought to unplug the mic and use the headphone mic and it literally sounds so much better, wish i wouldve been using this mic until i can afford a really good microphone but better late than never lol
"finals thoughts" made me sub, i was told to "just start streaming" on new years day when i asked a streamer on HOW i should start, so on january 2nd i went and bought a 24 in TV from the pawn shop to use as a monitor along with my macbook that i already had for music purposes. i started streaming on the 3rd and streamed literally everyday since, grew almost 250 followers, had like 70 subs at a point and it wouldnt have happened if i didnt "just start" this is a great video, i hope anybody needing this information comes across it and i wish you lots of success, thank you.
Using this comment and thread as a video! Loved reading this!
@@DarkenedCyrus no problem, wassup youtube lol
do the overlays work on other devices now instead of just PC
Do I really need to use my PC sir to stream on my xbox?
I just started yesterday and I haven't used my PC
I just opened twitch App on my xbox then click broadcast then just log in on my phone view my Stream there thru twitch app.
Not at all. There are just options for if you want to upgrade
How would I go about starting a channel to do gaming walkthroughs on ps5 with recorded voice over the top? After this video I might start streaming also! Thank you so much!
Love this comment! Might save for my monthly comments video!
Short answer, use a PC and a capture card with an external microphone to get the best results. For easy results, stream it all to twitch with your headset mic and gameplay. Then just be intentional about the stream. Interact with your viewers, but make sure to pause after statements so you can trim out the fat for a tutorial.
Careful here, you only get 14 or 60 days to archive your footage depending on your account. You can go make a highlight of any stream and just make it full length to keep it forever on twitch.
Then download it to your phone and edit/upload if you don’t have a pc
@@DarkenedCyrus oh man thank you so much for replying!! I've been struggling alot because I'm new to all this stuff and have no clue! God bless my friend! Keep it up!!!
Question, bought a ps5 for my son , I have the series s Xbox, how do I stream us both together, game and cams
On the same channel? This response would be more than just a YT comment to answer. In short, you need a streaming PC with (what I’d recommend) either a couple of capture cards or possibly the cam link pro. Depending on the layout of the house and if the consoles are in different rooms, you might need two PCs and can send one feed with cam/game/audio over NDI to the streaming PC.
I think this warrants a dedicated video. Thoughts?
Could recommend any external microphone for Xbox Series S? I’m looking for it and I can’t find anything…
Just did a video about this recently. Short answer, maybe.
If I get the mini PC do I need to use a captured card for do my stream from ps5 or not? I am going to use streamlabs
Yes, you still need to capture the hdmi from the ps5
@@DarkenedCyrus What about if I use remote play app in the mini pc and share the remote play on obs or streamlabsobs do you think that work?
That would work. Just use display capture or window capture, but I will say. I have another mini pc video coming out really soon, so you might want to check that video out as I’ll be doing more intense streaming tests
@@DarkenedCyrus Thanks I will wait for that new video subscribe already 😀💪
If i game at 144 hrtz does the capture card at 60 hrtz effect what im seeing at home? I have a series x
The capture card won’t pass through 144hz unless it supports high refresh. Make sure you take the time to look at the specs of your card to make sure it supports the pass through you need.
I started doing this and i use my twitch app on my xbox and it lets me stream for a little bit then some how my stream ends
This means your internet can’t handle the livestream
So you run the stream off of the console through the video card to another PC? So how do you actually go about that?
Referring to what part of this? There were a lot of solutions provided in the video
Anyway we can get an updated video of this I would really appreciate it
Totally. Already have it on my calendar!
@@DarkenedCyrus thank you I’ll join the discord when I finish this video
So are there no Twitch extensions for Console that DONT require a capture card and PC?
Other than the ones I talked about, no. You can use Lightstream and set the entire thing up using the Xbox, no pc needed. I even did a video on this
Hey Cyrus, I was wondering if you still recommend the mini pc in this video? I’m getting ready to purchase it.
Hey!
For the price, you can now get the upgraded N5095 processor for a little bit more speed and better graphics. Check this out: amzn.to/3ztg8AS
@@DarkenedCyrus THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH💖. I followed you on your IG today! I’m going to get it right now thank you again!
You’re welcome! Also, cool nails!
@@DarkenedCyrus Thank you. I use to be big into nail art. Those are the best ones I ever did I think anyway.
Love that. My wife loves getting her nails done, so I have a special appreciation for those who enjoy it.
Question I can stream using my PS5 for the game part but for the camera can I use my phone ?? So stream my game on Ps5 and use camera on my Phone is this possible or do I need to use the ps5 cam 📷 🤔
PS5 doesn’t support any other camera except their camera. If you use a computer to encode your stream, you can use Camo Studio to use your phone as a webcam!
@DarkenedCyrus is the ps5 cam worth it for twitch and Kick streaming
@pierrefitch I think it’s OK if you want to do PS5 only streams. Personally, I’d save up and get a dedicated streaming rig.
@@DarkenedCyrus you mean a desktop or what type of rig I have Macbook pro

Love these!
What camera for this video did you use?
To record the a roll? It’s been so long at this point. It was either the Sony a5100 or the Sony ZVE10. Can’t remember the exact date I upgraded. Either way, the lens is the Sigma 16mm f1.4
Actually, I prefer Wizebot
Nice video by the way .
yh the video was helpful but there is nothing about what i need the most about streaming console via PC, the audio. What do you need to make your chat hear you, the game and you're party, and how con you hear the alerts ecc while ur using a headset for the game/party
Check my one of my latest videos. No joke, it’s the answer for this.
@@DarkenedCyrus i found a lot of stuff that helped me out on your channel, the videos are great, j just watched the video you told me about, but with my headset it's directly connected to the console :(
anyway thanks for your help
i think i need an external soundcard for that, hoping the fact that i use a laptop which don't have a line-out port (just a basic Jack 3.5mm for both headset and mic) won't let me stream the audio into the soundcard 😩
If you want to hear alerts, you’ll have to connect it to the PC and hear your game sound through the capture software. They make USB sound cards that are inexpensive if you need one. Also, if you just need to split the cable out to a headphone/mic cable, they make y adapters also
@@DarkenedCyrus thanks mate, and congrats for the 10k!
(english is not my main language, sorry for the mistakes)
Where do we find your discord
I hate u cant stream oneguide from ur xbox fr wanted to use it for twitch streaming for my switch
I picked the right time to be a streamer 😂
I want 60fps on light stream please
I subbed like 2 seconds into the video just because we have the same name lol :)
Lol love it!
I just wish there was ways to do things without a pc or laptop to customize your stream
Lightstream!
