[Alpha] New Streaming Implementation Feedback

Hi there,

Of late, I've lost the ability to stream to my Win10 laptop. [...]

Things that are relevant:

[...]

I'm in the Alpha Skip Ahead preview ring.

[...]

To emphasise; this is a new problem. I've streamed hundreds of hours of gaming with this exact set up and as far as I can tell nothing has changed from my perspective. Unless there had been an update to either the app or the Xbox?

Since you say you are in Alpha Skip Ahead, and that issue happened just now, please file feedback via the Xbox Insider App, and check the

Xbox Insider Reddit if others have similar issues.

It might be an issue introduced in a Skip Ahead version. So please inform the team of your issue via the Feedback option and through the Insider Reddit.

EDIT: It seems that other
Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead Users have the same issue. So it's not an issue with your setup, but a bug that was introduced in this Alpha/Skip Ahead.

You'll just have to wait until that issue gets resolved, and remember to file feedback!

There is only a limited number of free slots in Alpha/Alpha Skip Ahead.

If someone in Alpha/Alpha Skip Ahead leaves, or is removed due to inactivity, participants in Beta are invited to Alpha. However, Beta participant invitations are sent out to those, that leave valuable feedback, find bugs, and are most active in the beta
group.

So it's not how long you are in the program, but how valuable your input and bug reporting was in the past.

Added to the fact that invitations are only sent out if there is new room in Alpha, you might have to wait a while to get invited. Just provide good feedback and be patient.

Hello,

From what has been said in the past Snap will not be making a return.

Xbox Users can stream to Twitch you just need to open the game/app and start a broadcast.

It is down to the Developers of the Youtube app to implement streaming.

Also you can also leave feedback on features over at https://xboxideas.uservoice.com/

The level and time you spend in the program doesn't count for access to the Alpha group.

There is only a limited space for Alpha participants. If an existing Alpha participant leaves the Alpha group, or gets removed due to inactivity, Beta participants with a good activity record get an invitation.

It depends on the activity, and the quality of the feedback you sent while in the Beta ring if you get an invitation.

So there are two factors for getting an invitation.

You can't influence the first factor: Free space in the Alpha group. You will have to be patient and wait for someone to leave or be removed due to inactivity.

But the second factor, sending quality feedback and participating in the quests, will raise your chance to get an invitation in case a slot in the Alpha group becomes free.

So don't give up. Continue to give good feedback, and have patience.

Alpha/Alpha skip ahead is as far as i know by invite only. You should been an insider for a long time and give proper feedback to the builds.
