This is a guide to the Co-op feature during Diablo 4's Beta release! Read on to know how to play Co-op during the beta and all issues and bugs encountered for local couch co-op.

Users in our comments section have submitted potential solutions to the issue.
One suggestion from user AwakenTheGamer gives a tip to first attempt to connect the controller, and then when nothing happens, simply continue playing the game as normal for 5-10 minutes until a prompt appears, at which point you'll be able to start the couch co-op.
This seems to imply that there are cases where the second controller activation is working, but is simply delayed, possibly due to the server-side overload currently causing other errors and kicking players from the game in the Beta.
Player 2 may experience issues joining games with a pre existing hero while playing couch co-op during the prologue.
It has been stated on the official Diablo 4 Beta list of known issues that couch co-op may encounter issues during the Prologue part of the game. This lets us know that Blizzard is aware of the problem and working on a fix, and that one solution may be to complete the Prologue first before attempting to start couch co-op. As the Beta includes both the Prologue and Chapter 1, this should still leave plenty of time for you and others to play together during the Beta!
To play co-op, you'll need to create two characters, so if the second player does not yet have a character created, this may be the source of the problem. You can also have the second player press the option button on their 2nd controller to initiate couch co-op.
In addition to having two characters, you also have to make sure that your account have a respective battle.net account connected to your playstation account. This is a necessary requirement to playing couch co-op so if you weren't able to play co-op, this can possibly be the issue.
Access to the co-op feature has been inaccessible for many players during the Beta period, with reports of a second controller not successfully activating and causing confusion and frustration. What's your experience with the beta's couch co-op feature? Leave a comment and discuss it with us!
