In regards to question 5. Use different profiles? I tried this as well but in order to do it you need to go into the drop down menu from the top right of the playstation portal, go to settings and sign out. I then signed in with my sons account/email and his profile and log in came up. It's cumbersome because it's extra steps but can be done!! Thanks for the vid I am now a new subscriber keep up the good work!!
Mate, I had an absolute nightmare trying to log into my son's account for him!! It made me go through a load of images of furniture?? 🤣 I got it wrong a couple of times so literally had to match up 30 images before I could switch accounts... 😂
I found that wired connection to headphones was good but, 3.5 to say a JBL Charge 3 speaker, came out very static-y. Also tried connecting to XRocker chair with same results. Anyone else try external speakers?
Thank you for making this video!! 🙃 But I think I still have a small doubt at 1:44 when you play split screen does it make player two’s screen the whole screen of portal and player one’s screen your whole tv?
You are essentially just connecting the Portal to the PS5 and the PS5 handles the multiplayer. Think of the Portal as a device that just mirrors everything that is shown on the PS5.
@@PuzPlays I really wish Sony would have put more emphasis on that aspect and way of thinking because I think the reaction from the public would have been much more positive... It's always just been an alternative display in my opinion but others compare it to handheld consoles which is ridiculous!! It's a TV with a controller!!
100% and well said. I think for me where my PS5 is located in my garden office, it's a no brainer. means I can have the comfort of playing my ps5 games wherever I want.
Thanks for watching - when you mean stuttering, do you mean the buffering to the PS Portal? If so - this is determined by the quality of your internet connection. The better your wifi signal and connection the better the stream being delivered to your Portal.
@JayFlare I have a portable (thin as a cracker) 4k foldable monitor I use to bring with my lenovo go an steam deck, I also use it for my systems/PS5. Im all for digital games, but not streaming them, because wifi (strong wifi at that) is not always available. And I travel A LOT! So I'd rather bring my PS5 and portable 4k monitor. I don't make myself justify a purchase by what "people" say... I justify a purchase if it is worth it... and it's not.
@@jaymoose4337 But you clearly have a set up that you're happy with!! So it's not a product for you... I just wanted to be able to comfortably play my ps5 when my TV isn't available... A perfect purchase for me, but useless for you!! 👍
@waynecatlin4198 what's funny is, why is everyone acting as if the have "ONE" TV? I'm finding this to be hilarious. Before the portal got mentioned, what were people doing? Were you streaming on your phone? Were you streaming from your PC? Were you even streaming at all? I'm going to guess both sides of the coin... therefore, if you weren't streaming, you were on the TV... so there's only one TV? If you WERE streaming, do you care about latency? Do you care about graphics? Because those two put together, don't make good for a long term solution. Now, back to your comment... of course I have my solution, I want every bang for my buck. I'm also not a follower. This isn't about the system itself for me, it's about what Sony and other gaming companies are trying to make us comfortable with. The argument of physical vs digital is quickly becoming digital vs streaming. I'm ok with owning digital, but once streaming becomes a thing, then we TRULY will own nothing... and it will be because of systems like the portal that will have pushed us there. Think past the portal. Because physical, digital, and streaming can not and won't coexist with the rise of these types of consoles.

Switching profiles should be a no brainer. It’s hard to like this device sometimes, there’s so much more it could do. I hope Sony can update it in the near future. I will be getting mines next month or later ! Thanks for the informative videos sir happy holidays 🎉
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate your time watching my video. Feel free to subscribe for more content like this. Up next I will be reviewing the pulse wireless headphones and I’ve just recorded my latest video on the ps5 slim.
I think that you can add a 5g modem with the firmware so that you can connect a 5g modem to the ps portal. The question is, will Sony add such an opportunity?
That would be pretty sick if they did that. Knowing Sony they will probably add that to the portal 2. Thanks for watching please subscribe if you would like to see more of this type of content 🙏
That’s correct you need a ps5 to use the ps5 portal. The portal is really just a way to connect to your ps5 using an internet connection and play your ps5 library. It’s not a standalone handheld console like the switch.
When using a DualSense controller with the Remote Play app on phone/tablet, are the haptics/rumble disabled? If so, I suppose this would be the only way to get haptics/rumble with Remote Play.
It's the same really, the only real difference is that the Portal comes with the built in controllers either side of the screen. So instead of two devices (iPad and dual sense) you have just the one device (portal) with the combined screen and controllers either side. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
So the good thing about the Portal is that it shows the wifi connectivity - the better that signal the better the smoothness and delivery of the stream from the PS5 to the portal. The one thing I would say is it's far more noticeable on competitive games such as EAFC24 or MW3. For games like Spiderman 2, God of war its actually really good and the experience is fun especially when your outside of the house.

Hi Tobbydaniels, Thanks for watching the video. Yes you do need to own a PS5 or PS5 Slim to use the Portal. The Portal will mirror whatever is being shown on the PS5. Hope this helps.

Oh no, that's crazy. Glad you got it sorted though.
What about spilt screen? Like cod multilayer. Can 1 person be on the ps5 and another on the portal?
It worked for Fifa so I can't see why it wouldn't for COD.
Great video! Especially the loo part. Did you try USB-C headphones?
Oh that’s a good one maybe do another round of tests based on the new comments in this video
This is definitely worth a test!
I will try and get one or find one that works and add it to the comments or even create a new video. Thanks for watching.

But I think I still have a small doubt at 1:44 when you play split screen does it make player two’s screen the whole screen of portal and player one’s screen your whole tv?
Good question, no split screen - both players will be able to play looking and seeing the whole screen.

Have you any idea how to stop the stuttering

I got mine in the mail today. I opened, went to connect it to the PS5, and returned it 4 hours later. Price is good, but it's worthless.

Does your ps5 have to be on to play the portal??
Can you play on the portal with a ps5 controller? I like to Connect my ps5 controller to the portal
Thanks for watching. At this time there isn't an option to connect the PS5 controller to the Portal.
Can you play different games on the portal and ps5 simultaneously?
unfortunately the ps portal does not have this feature.
Can’t connect to my hotspot

@@PuzPlays It is not necessary to release portal 2. Sony could just make a 5g modem for ps portal and sell it for a conditional $20.
@@DimoN.G11 love that idea.
So would I need a ps5 to use the portable or can I just buy a portable and play without a ps5 ?
That’s correct you need a ps5 to use the ps5 portal. The portal is really just a way to connect to your ps5 using an internet connection and play your ps5 library. It’s not a standalone handheld console like the switch.
When using a DualSense controller with the Remote Play app on phone/tablet, are the haptics/rumble disabled? If so, I suppose this would be the only way to get haptics/rumble with Remote Play.
Let me check this for you and report back.
It is disabled not only that but this is the only way to remote play full screen and 1080 p resolution
Can yu use this portal without ps console like ps vita?
Unfortunately not. The Portal is just a remote play tool that connects to the PS5 allowing you to play your PS5 games remotely.
What’s the difference between ps portal and is remote reply on iPad in terms of performance
It's the same really, the only real difference is that the Portal comes with the built in controllers either side of the screen. So instead of two devices (iPad and dual sense) you have just the one device (portal) with the combined screen and controllers either side. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
same latency and lag? @@PuzPlays

BTW, does it have artifactes and lack of sharpness like remote play or is it better?@@PuzPlays
No Artifactes from the games I've played. The screen is super sharp. Better than remote play for sure.

@EaglesFan6969 how strange.
