if I stream a game directly from my PS4/Xbox one is there a way to have my splits from my computer show on the stream? I would assume not but just wondering

Valhalla

you would need a capture card for that

European Union

if you stream directly from your console, no - there's no way for you to add additional stuff onto that stream. like Tron_Javolta said, you'd need a capture card to send the video to your computer, add the splits & then stream that.

Ontario, Canada

Alternatively you can use your pc to recapture the recording that you sent from the console and just time over it afterwards using OBS for example to put it onto the video and just upload that version of the recording. Not the best method but it works if you got no other way to do it.

Get OBS to capture the twitch vod and then in OBS capture the Splits and just re-time over the vod and save it or upload it.

I do speedrun with the PS4 too and use the elapsed time as my timer. Viewers need to do some counting tho and I have splits on my pc for me.

You can use the comment for viewers to give them the information when the run started and whats the current wr and whats your goal to get the run done.

Example: Run Starts: 0:05:00 Goal: 0:20:00 WR: 15:30

That way also viewers knows where you are aiming for and if you succeed in your goal or not when the run is over. Its also good way after the run if you have splits for yourself to tell your time in chat. Final Time: 14:40 for example. If your run has big loading screens or such you can also provide them your splits via chat also during them.

I also just bought a PS4 camera but haven't tested it yet in speedruning so the camera would show my splits from computer screen to viewers to follow. That just needs some setup to work out :D
