For aspiring Twitch streamers out there who don’t own a gaming PC, the option to stream from your Xbox One and PS4 remains a popular option.

However, this streamer decided he didn’t want to go through the PS4, as problems like low quality and lag can occur when you stream a demanding game. This can lead to issues like artifacts popping up on the screen when you’re playing a fast-paced game, an issue Chbinsky wanted to ignore.  

Death Stranding, being one of the best looking games of this console generation, would definitely fit into that category.

Instead of using a capture card and connecting his PS4 to his PC, Chbinsky hooked up a camera and filmed his entire TV and instead of a traditional facecam overlay, he used a mirror.
