In reference to backwards compatible titles on the xbox one like Halo Reach.

Xbox One comes with Kinect it can be used as a mic. If you don't want to use Kinect as a mic then buy a headset. I have no problem using Kinect as a mic.

How can you use your xbox one Kinect as a mic on the xbox 360 emulator on xbox one????

Hello Icorona,

It was stated that no Xbox 360 Kinect games would be backwards compatibility due to incompatibilities with the Kinect peripherals, which leads me to believe you would be unable to use the Xbox One Kinect for Xbox 360 game chat, but unfortunately I do not
know for sure.

If you want to try this, in Kinect's settings make sure that "use Kinect for chat" is enabled and then load up the Xbox 360 game in question. If it works, it works; but if not, as I suspect, then it's likely just something that is not supported.

Sorry for the lack of a definitive answer, but I hope this helps.
