Board 8 > Question for people who have streamed Jackbox...

(+) Yeah! (+)

@MegamanX @WiggumFan267

I've never done it before, but I was planning on trying to play with my friends while we're all practicing social distancing.

Do you guys just do it with PS4 streaming? Is it difficult to do? Any tips or advice? I've never tried streaming with PS4, but it looks really easy since it's built in to the system, right?

Just connect it to a twitch account and you're good to go. If you specifically only want to play with friends, make sure you have some way to talk to each other outside of the chat for that game. Make a Discord server or something. Then, make sure you take down the stream when switching games, so you can relay the code to your friends over that and hide the code on the broadcast before you bring it back up.

For the streaming setup part, i did it a while so i dont remember too well, but I think its pretty easy to connect your twitch. Press the share button, go to twitch, log in I guess, and follow the instructions.

For the jackbox part, its as MSG said pretty much. You can pause the stream while you look at the code, then hide the code and bring the stream back up and PM the code to whoever you want in the game. this way randos don't join your main game (though you may wind up with some in the audience)

Thanks for the advice! We played a bunch of last night and it worked great! Now it looks I'm going to have to rebuy the Jackbox games to have them on PS4... let me know if they go on sale again

Actually, one more question; whenever I went to switch Party Packs it would close the stream, and some people had trouble getting it refreshed when it came back up. Is there any to just make it one long continuous stream even when changing games?
