15 PS4 Hacks & Tricks You Probably Didn’t Know

#11 Sharing is Caring

One of the most underutilized features on the PlayStation 4 is the share button. The share button allows you to ‘share’ your gameplay through screenshots and videos, but what you might not have known is that it’s possible to configure the share button to be even more efficient than what the default settings might offer.

By default, pressing the Share button will bring up the share menu. Holding it lets you take a screenshot, and double clicking it allows you to record a video. To change these settings, press the Share button and head down into the “Pressing Options.” From here, you can configure your Share Settings.

It’s a good idea to set it to “Easy Screenshots” so that you’ll be able to simply tap the share button to take a screenshot without having to hold down the button for a long time. It’ll save you a lot of time, and on top of that, it’ll make it so you never accidentally open up the share menu when you don’t intend to—which can be an issue with a lot of games.
