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.

This is a bad move from Sony for no support, but good for streamers.

I you can't upload to YouTube, then what's the point in having video editing? Sony, this is a bad move.

xInsidious This is sort of bad news for Youtubers who wanted to use the recorder, but not really too big of a deal

Yeah it is, but I think its the same way for the Xbox. I think Microsoft said you won't be able to stream to YouTube at launch, but its a possibility in the future.
