Can you use Mixer on your PlayStation 4?

Best answer: Unfortunately, there is no native Mixer app on the PlayStation 4, meaning you'll have to watch from your phone or computer if you happen to want to watch a stream. However, there are workarounds to streaming from a PlayStation 4, if that's somehow you're looking to accomplish.

Using Mixer on PlayStation 4

With many streamers in today's world usually choosing a side between Mixer and Twitch, it creates a bit of a challenge for audiences looking to watch their favorite content creators. Unfortunately for PlayStation 4 users, if they want to watch their favorite streamers on Mixer, they'll have to do it without a PS4.

We would love to have an app on PS4 in the future. TM Having Mixer on as many platforms and devices as possible is something we are working towards in the future.

As of now, there is no native application for Mixer on PlayStation 4 like there is for Twitch. This is likely due to Mixer being funded and developed by Microsoft, although Mixer has stated in the past that they would love to see an app come to PlayStation 4 at some point in the future. There are some workarounds, like navigating to Mixer's website via the PlayStation 4 web browser, but it's probably much easier to just watch a stream on your computer or phone if you're looking to do that.

How to stream PlayStation 4 to Mixer

While some people may just want to watch a stream or two on PlayStation 4, some players also want to be able to stream from the console itself to the streaming platform. Because there's no native application for Mixer on PlayStation 4, players can't simply press the Share button on their controller and stream like they can to Twitch or YouTube. However, there's some workarounds to this that involve typical streaming tools.

You can stream your PS4 to Mixer! You'll just need a capture card or the Playstation Remote Play app + a pc to broadcast the stream.

According to Mixer back in 2018, streaming from a PlayStation 4 to Mixer is as simple as using a capture card or the PlayStation Remote Play App, connecting to a PC, and broadcasting the stream normally. Of course, this requires a bit more complex of a setup, as its necessary to have a PC capable of broadcasting a stream as well as keeping everything stable throughout. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only way to reliably stream from a PlayStation 4 to Mixer, although Mixer has said that they will continue to look into getting the streaming app on more platforms in the future.
