If not will it ever be possible? And is there an alternative way to do it on console
if your streaming directly from console and your using the twitch extension, no its not possible as you would need to use a browser source or a widget and twitch doesnt allow widgets with extensions
Will they allow it one day ?
Is there an alternative? To show my controller?
unless your stream with obs from a computer, not that im aware of
i have no idea you would have to contact twitch and ask them
Ok thanks
I asked this same question last week on reddit and someone suggested i look up Retrospy vision usb lite, though you'll still need a pc it just sends the data from your controller to your console AND to your tower/laptop.( You would still have to use a stream service Streamlabs/SL console, OBS , ect.. Browser Souces for Gamepadviewer. ) The site and product look a little SUS but im assuming its just made by a dude thats tech savvy.
I dont have a pc
All controller overlays require a PC because only a PC can intercept your inputs and subsequently render them in an overlay.
Controller overlays can only be used with browser sources, which are just
