Need for speed network app, how to connect ps4?

I know that this post was in December in 2013 but I have found that when I log into the game and on my console at the same time it still says that it isn't connected.
However, if you start racing in the game (or free roam), it says connected and I can use overwatch to follow my movement. This is for Xbox one. Idk if it is the same for ps4
