In order to look for games, apps, users and other stuff on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system, you need to use the search function by selecting the magnifying glass icon. By utilizing search, you will bring up a virtual keyboard where you can input the search term.

The same keyboard will appear any time you need to input any specific details, such as your name, address, user name and more.

You can take a look at this tutorial at Seeking Tech to see how you can enable, as well as disable, motion typing and touchpad typing on your PS5 console.

How to enable motion and touchpad typing on PS5

In order to enable motion or touchpad typing when using the virtual keyboard on your PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system, you need to take the following steps:

1. With the virtual keyboard on screen, you should see a symbol that looks like a controller with a target sight. It is located in between the “…” and Done options.

2. Select that symbol to enable motion typing and touchpad typing.

Alternatively, you can simply press the L3 and R3 buttons at the same to turn on this feature. For the uninformed, the L3 and R3 buttons can be pressed by pushing down on the analog sticks of the controller until you hear a click.

3. With motion and touchpad typing enabled, you should see a circle appear on the screen. You can use the touchpad or the gyro motion of your controller in order to move the circle around and then select any of the keys on the virtual keyboard.

4. Once you finished typing, you can select the Done option on the virtual keyboard or press the R2 button on the controller.

How to disable motion and touchpad typing on PS5

If you don’t want to use motion typing and/or touchpad typing anymore, then you can disable this function by doing any of the following:

• Select the symbol that has the controller and target sight on the virtual keyboard.
• Press both the L3 and R3 buttons on your controller at the same time.
• Press any of the four directional buttons on the directional pad of your controller.
• Move the left analog stick of your controller in any direction.

When looking at videos and trailers on the PlayStation Store of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system, you may notice that there isn’t any sound. To see how you can fix these issues, you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. The first step we recommend taking is to make sure that the video is actually selected in the store page of the game. If you simply highlighted the video, then it will automatically start playing in the background with muted sound.

To select the video, you simply press the X button on your DualSense controller while it is highlighted. This should make the video full screen and unmute its sound.

2. If the PlayStation Store video or trailer still has no sound even in full screen mode, then we recommend that you check the Output Device setting by taking the following steps:

• Press the PS button on your controller to open the Command Center quick menu.
• Inside the quick menu, select the Sound option located at the bottom row.
• After getting to the Sound menu, select Output Device.
• Finally, select your preferred listening device.

3. If the PlayStation Store videos are still muted, then you can also try adjusting the volume for videos on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system.

In order to do so, you need to take the following steps:

• Open the Command Center quick menu by pressing the PS button on your controller.
• In the Command Center screen, you then need to select the Sound option.
• From the Sound menu, select the Video option under the Media Volume section.
• Next, you need to adjust the volume for videos on your PS5. To make it louder, move the slider to the right.
• Once you are done adjusting the volume, press the X button on your controller to confirm your choice.

4. You can also try clearing the cache. To find out how to do so on your system, you can take a look at this tutorial.

5. If you still aren’t getting any sound from the trailers or videos from the PlayStation Store, then we recommend that you power cycle your console.

In order to do so, you need to turn off your PS5, unplug it from the power outlet, wait at least 20 minutes, plug the console back into the power source and turn it back on again.

6. There may also be an issue with the PlayStation Store or the PlayStation Network.

In these cases, we recommend that you simply wait and try again at a different time to see whether or not the videos will have sound.

With the standard PlayStation 5 system, you should be able to easily eject the disc from the disc slot. If your game or media disc gets stuck, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting guide from Seeking Tech to see how you can free it.

Before we being, it is important to note that this guide is based on the regular PlayStation 5. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition does not have a disc drive; therefore, a disc can’t get stuck in it as there is no way to put the media in the digital-only system to begin with.

How to normally eject a disc from inside

There are two ways that you can normally get a disc out of your PlayStation 5 system.

The first is to go to the Home Screen, which is the main system menu where you can select which game to play. From there, hover over the disc game icon. With the videogame highlighted, press the Options button (which has the three horizontal lines) on the DualSense. Finally, select the Eject Disc option, which should be at the very bottom of the pop-up menu.

The second method is to simply press the eject button located directly on the PlayStation 5 system.

How to eject a disc stuck that is inside the PlayStation 5

If the disc is not ejecting all the way out (or not at all) when using either of the aforementioned methods, then we recommend that you try taking the following steps:

1. Turn off your PS5 system if you haven’t done so already.

2. After the system has shut down, unplug the cables and other accessories you have connected.

3. You also need to remove the stand.

4. Afterwards, lay down your PlayStation 5 so that the PS logo side of the console is facing downwards. The back of the system, which has the HDMI and power ports, should be facing towards you.

5. Now, from your vantage point, you need to put your left hand on the top left corner of the outer case and then your right hand on the bottom right corner of the outer case.

6. Use you right hand to lift up the bottom right corner upwards and the slide the outer case off to the left.

7. With the outer case removed, you should see a black circular film located on the top left side.

Keep in mind that some of the newer revisions of the PS5 may not contain this film. With that said the location should still be the same.

8. Remove the black circular film if you have it to gain access to the screw hole.

9. Use a crosshead screwdriver clockwise on the screw to slowly eject the stuck disc.

10. Once you see a vast majority of the disc is completely out of the PS5’s disc slot, you can safely use your hand to full remove the disc media.

11. With the disc ejected, you can put back in the outer case by sliding it in starting from the left.

12. You can then reinstall the stand.

13. Finally, plug back in all the cables and accessories you previously removed.

If the disc keeps getting stuck in your PlayStation 5, then you might want to contact Sony about potentially getting your system repaired.

Just like the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro, you are able to earn trophies when playing games on your PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.

If you don’t want to earn trophies at all, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see you can do to potentially remove this feature.

Can you disable trophies on PlayStation 5?

How to turn off trophy notifications on the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition

In order to turn off trophy pop-up messages on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, you need to take the following steps:

1. First off, make sure you are in the home screen, which is where you can select which game or media app to open.

If you aren’t then you have to press and hold the PS button on your controller to bring it up.

2. In the home screen, go to the Settings menu, which you can do so by selecting the gear icon on the top right side of the screen.

3. From the Settings menu, select Notifications, which is near the bottom of the list.

4. Inside the Notifications menu, select Trophies.

5. In the pop-up menu, you have the following options:

If you disable the Show Pop-Ups setting, then the trophy notification won’t appear when you are playing a game, watching a video or streaming your gameplay.

If you disable the During Games setting, then the trophy notification will be turned off when you are playing a game.

If you disable the During Videos setting, then the trophy notification won’t show up when you are watching a video.
