I’ve been trying to find a good (yet free) service to stream my Video Game Reviews(and occasional Let’s Plays). I thought Twitch was a good candidate. Though they won’t allow me to do private streaming.
Saw a recommendation to go to Ustream. But using their “30 day free trial until you’re forced to pay $219 to continue using it” program, will not allow me to use my monitor as a camera. I literally HAVE to have a webcam.
So, a Webcam is like, what.. $100? $50? $30? But I don’t even want a webcam. I have no desire to show people my face or my room. All I want to show is what I play(aka my screen). That’s all. But nooooo! No. We gotta have MORE MONEY out of your pocket!
They treat me as the majority of people that stream videos, instead of what I would use it for. Base it off of the millions of others who do it, instead of the few that do it another way (like myself).
Then there’s dependent Livestream, a program I used back in.. what was it, 2009-2010? I think. Anyway, making an account is really ‘fun’. They don’t offer a Free option until you scroll down the page, and see it.
Thankfully, using Livestream Procaster is still free (and it still uses my monitor(s) as a webcam).

So I finally found something I can use to stream PC Games… yes, PC Games ONLY. It’s not the fault of the software, but of mine. It’s not possible to capture my second monitor, when its input is coming from my PS4 instead of my computer. The only way to stream is from the source, which is the PS4 itself.
Yet to do this, requires either Twitch or UPayOutTheAsstream(Ustream). There’s no Livestream option. My only option is to use the built-in capture card of my PS4 and do Youtube videos instead (but list them as Private).
So anyway, I just got done pwning the AI in a 1v1 match (8 to 2) in Rocket League (usually I suck at that game). I tried to share the video (in hopes I’ll be able to list it as Private), yet it keeps telling me to sign into Google to link accounts, and I’ve done this twice. Obviously there’s a problem.
I’ve asked @AskPlaystation for advice on Twitter. Hopefully I’ll get a helpful response.

EDIT: Apparently I was using the wrong Youtube account. I selected my other BenieTheDragon account, and it worked. I was able to upload the video no problem, and it’s currently on Youtube. Though I forgot I need to put it as Unlisted instead of Private for people to be able to click the link that I provide.
