    Hi,
    Quick question. I have a psn account that my son uses, but I have my own account on the same PS4.
    I am trying to see how do I use online chat while in my own. Account, the one that does not directly have psn/ps+.

    I know you can use the setting, account, make primary PS4. But when I switch used to my account it says I need to sign in to psn

    If I'm getting what you're saying here I think you'll need to buy a PS subscription for your account as well. Your son's PS+ will only work on his account.

    Yes, I think, even though multiple sources online say you can use ps+ on all accounts once you have it on one

    PS+ on one account allows all accounts on same console online access.

    You have to sign in to use online features.
    Once signed in you can set up a party.
