Believe in yourselves and each other and never give up on your dreams and aspirations and remember to be kind and uplifting to each other and open minded and genuine and respectful and humble.

[@F3PIZZA]

Thank you.

[@takethebluepillnottheredpi584]

Why does this sound like Jerry Springer closing statement after his show 🤔😅. Sounded almost like it

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

@@takethebluepillnottheredpi584 merely coincidence. I've been using this quote for literally years.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

@@takethebluepillnottheredpi584 Jerry Springer is a legend though.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Rest in peace Jerry Springer. 😔

[@aaronnobu]

The fact that you consider Macs makes you my actual favorite channel in this space. To all my gaming friends: I know I know, Mac and gaming and streaming yada yada yada ive heard it all lmao. but they're the best computers in so many other circumstances....and "just get a PC" isn't always feasible. So thank you MidnightMan!!!

[@Quickcat21MK]

Apple sucks if they don’t want you doing something they allow user interface interruption. Windows is still not like that.

[@iStayReddy]

I cant express how scarily precise this video is for me. Literally the PERFECT video 😂. I literally have no excuse not to start streaming now. Thank you so much

[@Yami2Hero]

Bro where do I connect the usb 1 slot to? And on the PlayStation what sound (output device) to use. And what mic device to use

[@iStayReddy]

@@Yami2Hero the USB C slot should connect from your Elgato to your laptop. I imagine your commentary mic should also be connected straight to your laptop too so that can be used as an audio source in Streamlabs. The sound output device should stay whatever you’ve had it as this whole time. Alternatively, experiment and see what works if there are issues. Happy streaming! 😊

[@yuzzaray]

Waste time.go touch grass or do something better than video game.

[@Quickcat21MK]

Have you tried? You cant play off stream footage you need a separate monitor.

[@Jetstreamhustla]

I might as well get into it lol 😭 let’s do it!!!

[@jayyviews]

Wow, I had to subscribe immediately after watching this. I started streaming earlier this year but my setup wasn't this dialed, I just simply hit live on the Playstation itself and did that, but after seeing this I'll be making a complete 180 and will make another attempt because I do enjoy it a lot, this might be my sign to get back into it! Thank you again, P&L!

[@TheRecoveringGamer]

Bro! I've been watching you're videos for different things since the PS5 came out (from your remote play how to's to gadgets) And you just now created the video that I've been doing research on for almost 3weeks now, it's hard to look for a how to video regarding this exact setup. So I just want to say, thank you! Love your videos man!

[@dianagomez7467]

Dude you are seriously the best! You explain everything so well and consider setups for beginners who don’t have as big of a budget. Very informative and useful! Subscribed ✅

[@Pitchblack_X]

Thanks for this! I’ve been mulling streaming for awhile and I finally went and purchased your suggested hardware. Almost all set up. Thanks!

[@Ctrl_Alt_Complete]

You are a real hero. Been struggling to get it all to work together. Now ive watched a video and it all makes sence. Brilliant guide. Keep it up buddy

[@peek73]

I have been streaming for years now, and finding out how to do all this on my own was a nightmare. I game on X-Box but my setup is very similar to this one with a few minor changes. Thank you for putting this out there and I will send people here if they ask me how to set up their own console stream. Perfect man, just perfect.

[@MidnightMan]

Happy to help 😊

[@dijon1]

Bro that fcking macbook coasts 1100 dollars

[@Midnightman_4]

Cool

[@heavenbalanciere9744]

Hey I'm trying to setup for a Xbox.... what are the differences?

[@heavenbalanciere9744]

I'm trying to setup an Xbox to stream for fun with my friend. Can you tell me the differences that you mentioned in your comment?

[@SkillzNGameplay]

I've actualy built a mini streaming setup like this, replicating my main setup, love streaming on a macbook air M2 its been great, best of all barely any equipment compared to what im used to, even more streamlined i used the facetime cam 😂 (with some software tweaks) , great guide easy to understand 👌🏼

[@Yami2Hero]

I am lost I need a step by step. I don’t know which end of the chat link pro goes into where. I don’t know what settings on the ps5 to use as far as mic/output device. And I don’t know where to put the other end of the usb 1 cord that connects to the game dac please help

[@aw7ken]

Could you teach? I have the same setup. But not idea how to use it.

[@miguelangelohexylvania6628]

Two years later and I'm STILL learning from you, like Mr. Feeny or something; I just upgraded to a PS5. Hopefully I won't have to message you as much this time, cause things seem easier. Still using the same equipment from your recommended PS4/Mac set up. 👏🏾

[@808N8]

I love how this video explains everything I had to learn by purely troubleshooting 😭😭 between the HDCP, getting a chat link pro, etc man what a good video!!!

[@MidnightMan]

So happy it helped you!!

[@AJCoReTV]

Yup, similar setup as me! M1Pro, Nova Pro wireless, HDX cap card, PS5, OWC 12 port dock… with WaveXLR + SM7B plugged into to line in on the Nova Pro. No chatlink pro needed for my specific setup. 🎉 Details: WaveXLR 3.5mm line out to the line in of Nova pro DAC… PS5 audio set to “hdmi TV”… this is how you bypass using chatlink! All hdmi capture baby! 😊 Now with this video here, he shows a great way to stream with only 2 usb ports! Nice! My setup requires a huge usb dock with many ports.. so pros/cons.

[@MidnightMan]

Thanks for sharing! I always typically go HDMI TV myself as well, but love how many options are available with this gaming headset. It’s gotta be the best gaming headset out there, I’m extremely impressed by it

[@AJCoReTV]

@@MidnightMan yup! Love them, worth every penny! I just learned diff ways to use them thx to this vid. Your other vids have helped me when I first made the move to Mac.. follow to check out upcoming desk tour that will hopefully give back some ideas.. will def give a shout out 🙌🏽

[@TruRacer]

You might remember me but my main channel was hacked and deleted so I had to start all over and I'm trying hard but it's like I'm going nowhere right now. It's very frustrating but I appreciate this video I had my chan el and worked hard on it for like 10 years all my work is gone

[@reyvillegas3898]

Dude. I’ve been searching everywhere for a tutorial like this. Thank you so much

[@shifuironbuddha4741]

Bruh I love your channel I was on the fence about starting a gaming channel I’ve had every system from the Atari 2,600 and just got a PS5. This vid is exactly what I needed since I have a Mac not a PC, and I was worried on how to set it up. You have great energy and info I’ll be using this as a guide. Thx.

Very well explained with simple and easy to follow instructions. This was the best setup video I have seen and I’ve watched ALOT. Thank you and keep up the awesome work man!

[@Angry-js6wl]

Oh god I can’t thank you enough!! I was trying to get a good ps5 streaming setup going but didn’t know where to start. I already have the arctis pro wireless and a beefy Mac. Now I know what to get next! Mad probs

[@andrelong1410]

My guy kept it so simple unlike other people tryna sponsor different brands thx man

[@TTV.TRDy0]

I just ordered the headset, mic, godspin cord, the hd60x and already got the same mac/ps5/logitech mx brio cam. Great video! Got me inspired to stream.

[@diskostoo]

I finally pulled the trigger fella on the Nova Pro. Total game changer for sure. Appreciate the guide man. So easy following this. Epic results! LESH GOOOO!

I can't thank you enough, I want to create a little streaming setup for my own enjoyment, using a mac mini and after many difficult and too theoretical videos... yours was so easy to understand and apply. Have a nice one and again, many thanks!

[@G4RST]

Was thinking bout getting into streaming since I’m getting my own place thank you my guy

[@dangerousjave]

There's one more work around for the audio you can do if you add one extra aux cable to the chatlink pro. I've got my Nova Pros connected to my Mac on USB Input 2 for whenever I want to stream. (This means USB 1 which is connected to the PS5 can be used if I'm just playing on the PS5 without any need for the extra stream peripherals. I was finding issues with Bluetooth whenever I connected to my Mac as the secondary connection with this headset. I'd hit pause on a YT video and suddenly my audio from Discord would stop coming through too.) The chatlink pro connection closest to the isolator switch is plugged into my controller headset port and the other end is plugged into the Line In of the DAC. I've then got an aux cable connecting the chatlink pro with the HD60X audio port like you have in the video. Just means you always get audio coming through the headset even if streamlabs isn't open.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Great video thanks for the info. I’m actually a Mac user but I switch over to the PC just to stream because I haven’t been able to stream from my Mac yet. I spend so much time on my Mac, I barely ever stream. I’ll probably try this set up at some point.
