There are a few things you need to take care of before streaming from your console. The PS4 lets you remotely connect to your console through the Internet. And, while that may seem great, you need a really good connection at both ends to make it viable. The Xbox, on the other hand, can only connect when the PC and console are on the same network. Something I would recommend you do for the PS4 as well. Make sure that both the console and PC are connected with a wired connector, which will ensure the connection remains stable. The consoles will also need you to log in to your account, on the console, and later on the PC. On the console: You have to turn on the streaming feature on your console before you can beam it to your PC. Here is how to do it.
