There’s a built in ‘Broadcasting’. feature inside the consoles that allows you to live stream. Before you can live stream to twitch, you need to connect your Twitch account to the PSN account on the console.
The connection can be done on the PS5 or you might have done it before on the PS4 or even a PC. Either way, you’ll need your Twitch account on the PS5 console. You’ll need an existing PSN account and Twitch account for this.
