[Canada & Japan] A beta enabling PS5 players to share their captured screenshots and game clips through PlayStation App is starting to roll out today
-
Nice. No app update available for me yet but I am anxious to try this.
Edit: Its live. Tested it out, pic showed up in about a minute. Awesome!
ID: hh6hyziID: hh6stszNope. The options just appeared in the app. If you’re not seeing it try forcing the app closed completely and reopen it.

Cool AF!!
I MISS the fuck out of the activity feed on PS4. I talked to so many people liking their trophies they earned, videos they shared, etc.
It is the thing I miss the most and I hope we get something like it back!
ID: hh6ygs4Yeah sad that the activity feeds have disappeared.
ID: hh8tux2Seemed like a huge niche, my group never used it or even noticed it tbh
ID: hh8u8xuOdd, you’d suspect it be niche just cause you and your group never used it. Considering they(Sony) are bring back a functionality of it for this generation.
It might not had been on you and your groups radar, but a lot of people really enjoyed the feature, and great to see this iteration coming back.
I can understand how if you were never accustomed to the feature how it could seem niche, though. I’m not taking a dig at you… after rereading my reply it might seem offensive and if so that was not my intent.

Nice!

I'm in Canada and can confirm that it is live! Haven't have time to test it yet but I have enabled the feature!

Sadly a few limitations with this, hopefully they expand/ change it during the beta or afterwards.
Firstly, you need to enable auto upload, any videos/screenshots before you enable auto upload will not appear.
Also, trophy videos and Activity challenge videos (like in Astro’s Playroom or Sackboy) are not uploaded. In addition, any video also saved in 4K or longer than 3 minutes will not be uploaded.
Regardless, it’s nice to see such a demanded feature finally come for the PlayStation App, hopefully it gets expanded on later too
ID: hh4ww83Its definitely a start though
ID: hh4tn9eI suspected these limitations and it has been my response anytime someone has requested this feature from Sony/PlayStation:
/comments/k01h14/would_love_for_my_screenshots_and_videos_to_be/" class="reddit-press-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.reddit.com//comments/k01h14/would_love_for_my_screenshots_and_videos_to_be/There is a reason this will not be implemented exactly like xbox. Sony does not have the network or infrastructure to do this like microsoft does. Microsoft is like Google, they have millions of hard drives ready to store all kinds of data and get uploads from peoples clips and stuff. They have their entire azure platform at their disposal.
Sony does not. This is why sony only offers 100GB per generation for cloud saves, so 300GB total (which is still a lot and more than plenty) unlike the unlimited with microsoft.
I think what most people were asking for was like xbox, where it auto uploads every clip and screenshot and you can access it from a website or app.
So this won't ever happen unfortunately. What I can see them doing, is allowing a temporary upload that expires after a few days that would allow you to share your clips this way, just not store them forever like microsoft does.
If manual, then sure that way could work. Nothing is stopping them from doing that. But by auto uploading every pic and video to a message that would still require a ton of storage. But if you could just simply insert or add to your profile directly, that would work if it was manual. They would still need to program and set up infrastructure for that, and it depends if they view that as worthwhile. It most likely depends how many people ask for it.
There is also bandwidth caps and other things to deal with. Comcast in the usa is pushing now even harder for data caps, which isn't good. So having a auto upload feature would probably not be something you would want enabled by default.
Either way, fantastic option to have for sure, and glad they were able to do this.
maybe I misunderstand how this works but why can’t my PS5 be the “server” so to speak. I can manage what games are stored on my PS5 remotely and play them remotely, why couldn’t the same be possible for my media library?
It doesn't have to upload to the cloud, let me access my capture gallery on my PS5 with an app on my phone.
I won't be enabling this because I don't want any of my data auto uploaded to the cloud.
Why do people gloss over the fact that Microsoft and Sony are completely different in like everything. Sony can't do everything Microsoft can do and that's what makes their success even greater.
Easiest thing to do surely would be to integrate with Google Drive/Dropbox/etc. Then I can just use whatever cloud storage I already have.
All those requirements are good with me honestly. I’d rather not have all my trophies videos and screenshots constantly being saved into my PlayStation app
Finally Canada got to try something first.
Canada is often the target of betas.
Fuckkkkk yessssss
Finally !!!
Thank god!
Oh thank god they are hopefully gonna do this for the US
So does this work like Xbox? Auto upload to the cloud? I cannot open the link
It auto uploads to cloud after you enable it. The uploaded stuff will be available for 14 days. Older stuff before enabling the feature will not be uploaded. You cannot manually upload. The feature is however not finalized and might change significantly.
So the older clips (after enabling it) can currently not be uploaded, only new clips going forward?
I'm quite impressed that choose to be set a timeframe limit instead of a space one. 20ish images in 4K weight about 100mb in a USB thumbstick.
Since this is free for everyone, they could/should offer unlimited timeframes or allow PS Plus users upload X gb of files. PS Plus desperately needs new features.
Damn this was my number 1 request. I just want manual uploads, not auto everything.
Just enabled it on my app!
Prepare for the coming flood.
i hope they allow manual uploads but is the cloud storage ps plus only?
Finally. Being able to easily share clips is such a critical component of multiplayer gaming these days. It’s still not even great on PC with nvidia highlights.
I requested this feature to be added awhile back, so I’m so glad you’re implementing it.
The Xbox clip feature is awesome. I’ve still got clips available to access via app from late 2019. Glad Sony is implementing it, even if limited
This is great but it should have been added a long time ago. The usage of this feature in the PS app will be high only until Discord's impending availability within the console. Afterward, I mostly think users would prefer to share clips and screenshots via Discord as files can be easily accessed on mobile, PC and it could be sent to other platform players.
Your move lolsoft.
i’ve been waiting this for ages. glad to see it’ll be here soon
Fantastic to see this added. With Nintendo and Xbox having quick screenshot transfer methods to your phone, Sony was the last hold out. Can’t wait to use this.
About time
Has been a peeve of mine for years that despite Playstation division’s profits over the years they couldn’t be bothered to host images
Glad they finally came around to this even if it is like half a decade late
Finally, about time. I’m iffy on Xbox in some areas, but they do have a great video and clip sharing service. Hopefully we get that treatment soon
Once this is enabled, it will be better. With share factory already being the best editor, this helps seal the deal as being the better option.
Microsoft does have the more automatic solution however
Fucking sweet
This was a long time coming, great news!
Oh very useful feature!
VRR next please!
Can you save videos on your mobile device straight from the app now?
Yeah you can save it to your camera roll or share it to another app
Finally!
