If you open your streaming software before turning your PS4 on and are having problems seeing video from your capture card, simply close the program, fire up your PS4, then open your software again.

On your capture card’s source, click the dropdown menu and select either “Monitor only” or “Monitor and Output” Click the gear next to mixer and it should bring up a box like pictured below.
