PS4 will not support YouTube uploads, archiving exclusive to Twitch

4.6
Sony revealed as part of today's comprehensive PlayStation 4 pre-release FAQ that the console will not allow content sharing via YouTube at launch, though support for additional video-streaming services is in the works.

At launch, the PlayStation 4 will only be capable of sharing recorded video via Facebook, while gameplay footage can be streamed via Ustream or Twitch. Sony did not completely rule out the possibility of YouTube support being added in a future update, however, as it hinted that PS4 owners should be on the lookout for "further news on other services to come after launch."

Sony additionally notes that Ustream footage will not be saved for later playback. PlayStation 4 stream archiving is only available for Twitch users, and can be enabled via Twitch's website.

doges This is one thing Xbox has the edge on


I agree. The inability to upload videos to youtube is certainly a downfall for the PS4


Hardly... It will be only a matter of time before they will be able to do it to youtube and when that happens one console will still only be able to record for 5 minutes and the other 15.
The Xbox Ones video capture is saved to the cloud and/or HDD (optional) whereas the Playstation 4's video capture is mandatorily saved to the HDD. Enjoy clogging up your hard drive with Gigabytes of recordings...


You could always delete the video when you are finished with it. That's what i will do
