Broadcasting or Streaming from your PS5.

Just make sure that you aren’t broadcasting or streaming. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enjoy continuing remote play.

Broadcasting or streaming your gameplay, and Using Share Play or Share Screen are some cases where you won’t be able to enjoy continuing the remote play benefits.

Moreover, you can’t use Remote while using streaming music on Spotify and vice versa(That is you won’t be able to use Spotify while remote playing).

In addition, Some or all video content might not be displayed on your device depending on the game or video service or this might depend upon copyright issues as well. Next up we have:-

Checklist and fixes.

Here are some pointers(checklist) and possible fixes you can do in order to fix the issue.

Make sure your system meets the recommended specification.

Ensure that you have got the right system to connect to the Playstation remote play. Recommended specification requirements for your system(windows/mac) are as follows:-

These are the bare minimum requirements which I think most of you guys will be meeting all this and in case you don’t meet the requirement, try to upgrade that component or maybe a system upgrade can be done.

I’d recommend you have a futuristic approach if you are planning to upgrade your system or components. As latest apps and software are increasing their capabilities with upgrades and bug fixations which results in more consumption of the components.

So, it would be better to upgrade to the complete system if your system is somehow outdated. Otherwise, you can get replaced your outdated component if any. Moving on to the next one.

Ensure that the security software isn’t blocking you to continue remote play.

Ensure that there isn’t any security software in your system that bother or interrupts the whole ecosystem to interconnect.

In case of any security software is blocking you to continue remote play, Make sure you give all required access to the remote play app/software on your system(Windows/mac).

Doing this will allow you to enjoy the benefits of remote play and with that said let’s move on to the next one.

Check for Windows 10 updates on PC/Laptop.

Make sure that your system is up-to-date as not updating your PC/Laptop can result in unable to continue using remote play.

So, it is always better that you update your system to the latest update so that there won’t be any glitches or bugs left. As updates are made just to solve the bugs and errors.

Simply updating your system can help you solve multiple issues going on. It is also helpful in maintaining the overall health of your system that’s it is better to update your device to its latest updates. Moving on to the next one.

Check remote play settings.

Ensure a good quality internet connection in order to connect to remote play with PS5. Perform a speed test of your internet network and in case you think it is not appropriate then try using a LAN cable instead.

According to the PlayStation help page, 5mbps is the minimum internet speed required for both upload and download.

To check the internet speed on your PS5, Go to Settings > Network > Connection Status, and then select Test Internet Connection.

Your internet connection might slow down if there are some other users that are consuming a large amount of bandwidth. Wait until they’re idle before connecting to Remote Play.
