How to use the Create button on the PS5

One of the best parts about modern gaming consoles like the PS5 is having the ability to save your favorite moments, then quickly share them with your friends or to social media for others to enjoy. With the new DualSense controller, Sony has replaced its Share button with a Create button that allows for more flexible capturing, sharing, and broadcasting — and it's incredibly easy to use.

How to use the Create button

  1. Press the Create button to the left of the trackpad on the DualSense controller.

  2. To capture a 4K image from the PS5, select Take Screenshot.

  3. A preview of the screenshot will be displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  4. Select the icon to the left of the Take Screenshot button to capture recent gameplay — you can save anywhere from 15 seconds to an hour of footage, since the PS5 is constantly recording in the background.
  5. To begin capturing new footage, select the icon to the right of the Take Screenshot button.
  6. You can also begin broadcasting your gameplay to a live audience with the next button to the right.

The PS5's Create button is a significant evolution over the Share button on the PS4's DualShock 4 controller. You can use it not just for quick screenshots, but to capture retroactive gameplay footage much easier than before. You can even start livestreaming all at the touch of a button. The interface is cleaner than before, comprised of just a small black bar at the bottom of the screen, and there are plenty of customizable options through the gear icon at the rightmost end of the interface.

You can choose whether to save your screenshots in PNG or JPG formats, and choose between MP4 and WebM for your video captures. You can also adjust the resolution of your captures, switching between 1080p quality and full-on 4K at 2160p.

Share your gaming experience

This improved interface for screenshots and sharing makes the PS5 feel more social than any previous PlayStation console. Being able to share your gaming experience with others isn't just useful for sharing your favorite moments, it can also be a great way to seek (and provide) help when you're stuck at a certain point in a game. There are plenty of use cases for the Create button — it's up to you to find and use them!

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
