This. AFAICT, all the share stuff is handled by the OS and broadcasted via API's. You won't have to launch different apps for each outlet, they all use the same universal interface.Why would Twitch be any different though?

Woah, didn't even think about the camera pointing at you. Hype+10How is this even news?
Too bad I'm not getting a PS4 until Q1 next year. Too much other stuff to buy at the moment.
Most people use a webcam when they livestream their games on Twitch. So, If you are gonna be streaming a lot on the PS4, the PS Eye Camera is a MUST.
How is this even news?
added to the op - thx!

You know, they should really get around to mentioning what you can do with it. I imagine Microsoft can do more with Kinect and they are keeping quite about it because of that.
That video only shows that you can combine a clip from the game with a clip from your audio commentary. They are actually 2 clips recorded at different times. I have not seen any information about streaming with voice or even recording with voice at the same time.
I watch twitch more than I watch tv now because of the interaction. Really fun imho.

So do you need to pay to upload to Twitch? I mean pay Twitch themselves. They've gotta be worried that suddenly thousands and thousand of new Xbone and PS4 users are suddently going to be doing 10 hour streams and then having to automatically archive them. That's gotta cost a fortune.

I suppose the only thing you have to worry about is accidentally revealing your real name if it shows up in the interface (and even then only if you link it to your FB).
No problem, that screenshot is ancient
For some reason almost everybody forgot about it - people where unsure about commenting after the twitch announcement on tuesday... hence this thread after I saw Yoshida's tweet...
The cam has good mics on it. I think showing your face or whatever is optional.

Really? Are we sure about this? Also do you know if these streams will be available from that "Live from Playstation" channel?

I'm really excited about this feature. It's something I never thought of and was totally blindsided by when they discussed it back in February. So awesome.

Nope, that's free on PS4.
But if you want to play multiplayer and stream you're going to need a PS+ sub.
Twitch is free to stream. It automatically archives them, but you have to manually save those archives if you want to keep it forever
I don't care about commentary but for chat and voice controls purpose would be as good as the ps eye but much more cheap
And here is a quick shot of the livestream from Gamescom. PSEye camera was active.

Can anyone spot the Wii U logo in that screenshot?

Damn, that's amazing.
I guess they just get their money from subscribers, and ad revenue.

I see the Ustream logo
Thanks for posting that. Their editor looks pretty good for a console editor.
That pic is outdated. Current UI looks like this:
I'm pretty sure they've confirmed commentary using the Twitch Xbox One app. You can see a mute mic option in this pic:

Yes but no video options I thought we were talking about face cams in particular.

I hope you can also have your party chat audio in the background too.
added as well - thx!
With kinect bundled in it would be stupid to not provide face cam support - I'm pretty sure it'll be there...

lets not assume until we hear it a second time from microsoft
Maybe but sony's streaming software had options for mic on/off and camera on/off that pic does not have the cam options even though when that was made kinect was required so you would have had to designate its capturing status.
Where did they say the first time that streaming would have face cam support?

Let's not assume that there was a first time.

I don't know why, but this is my favorite gif on GAF. Everytime I see it I laugh, and it is always so appropriate. I just had to say that.
Anyways, this sounds great. Especially being able to use the PlayStation Eye in addition to streaming your video. This is going to be great on sites like GAF where we can share our streams with people in other parts of the world where systems or specific games haven't launched yet. I cannot wait.
I'm just gonna stream gameplay. Killzone Shadow Fall
You must not know much about the stream/youtube community
I will say this even tho they still have that bullshit blue ray copyright that doesn't allow you to use capture card like xbox, they did a good job cutting out the middle man
Getting Twitch on the PS4 was a GREAT move to get people to buy the PS Eye Camera. When you go on Twitch.tv EVERYBODY uses a webcam when livestreaming their games. So everybody who is serious about livestreaming their games on PS4, the PS Eye Camera is must-have Peripheral.
Good luck with that, twitch and Ustream are probably getting DDoS'ed beyond repair in launch week

If you live in Europe twitch is already borderline unbearable... this was the one potential advantage ustream had over twitch - I hope it's still available as an alternative (especially for launch week)...
I don't see how else it could work via the share button. If everything is section off to it's own little app it just complicate the upload process. If you look at the Gamescom UI stage demo, you'll note that at the end of it Yoshida is able to tweet out a screenshot by just pressing the button. There's no twitter app launching, no menu shuffling. He's already linked his PSN account to his Twitter account so when he presses the button to share a picture the system already has access to his twitter account via the Twitter API and is able to directly tweet out the picture. It'll be the same with streaming. Link Twitch to PSN and just press Share. If you have multiple accounts like Twitch and Ustream you'll probably be asked which you want to use to broadcast or you'll be able to have different defaults for each media set by pressing Options while in the Share screen.
As for Live from Playstation, Twitch said you'll need to launch the Twitch app to view twitch channels so my best guess is Live from PS is just an aggregate for all the streams being broadcasted using PS4's. It'll pull streams from Twitch, YouTube, Ustream, etc.. but it'll be limited to those being broadcasted using the native PS4 tools. If you want something being broadcasted on another platform, you'll need to launch a dedicated app like the Twitch app.
