  1. Can't stream on Discord when using Xbox remote play


    Last night I was trying to stream a game to my friends while using the remote play feature on my PC, however despite doing everything as recommended by Microsoft, the stream would simply not start when it was supposed to, despite other people concurrently trying the same thing as me and having it start with no problem. No solutions I've found have worked and customer support has not been helpful. More confoundingly, I tried to get on a discord voice chat and try streaming without using remote play (i.e. playing on my Xbox Series X normally) and it has worked, however when I immediately swapped over to my PC with remote play, the same issue occured and the stream wouldn't start.

    No error message occurs, no popups saying my features have been restricted in any way, when I click the "start streaming" option from the stream settings menu, it simply takes me back to the voice chat settings without actually starting the stream.

    :)

    Can't stream on Discord when using Xbox remote play

    Hi Łukasz. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    This may be an issue with your local network, have you tried restarting your WiFi router? I'd also suggest restarting your PC and Xbox too, just to ensure all devices are functioning as expected.

    Please let me know what solutions you've tried so far, be specific.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Mic not working in the xbox app and in party chat while streaming

    What specifically doesn't work? The stream audio or the party audio?
    Was that not covered in the OPs post?

    "I'm unable to use the microphone on my Steelseries when coneected to my PC using a Remote Streaming session"

    "just not when joining a party during a stream."

    Seems to me that the OP is playing using the Remote Play function but the Microphone doesn't work when in a party chat whilst using the Remote Play. the Mic works fine when directly connected to the Xbox or used via the Xbox App

    Xbox Remote Play Freezing

    Hi Oskayra,

    Thank you for the reply.

    Yes, I can confirm it is just me playing remotely when the video stream freezes.

    This also causes the video stream to the local tv that the Xbox is plugged into, to break. I only try this after the remote play stream has cut out, not at the same time. After remotely freezes, the only way to use the Xbox again is to turn the main power on and off again.

    Thank you for your assistance

    Hi there

    Hi Terry. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    An internet connection is required to enable and use Remote Play, but the remote stream will only go through your local network. Other data such as authentication has to be sent through Microsoft servers when using Remote Play.

    Streaming on Discord

    Hello Pandafox11,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We are more than glad to address your concern here.

    When streaming on Discord from your Xbox, your friends can indeed watch your streams. However, there are a few important points to consider:

    - Pairing Xbox Account: Sometimes, your friends may encounter a prompt asking them to pair their Xbox account. This doesn't mean that only people with an Xbox account can watch your streams. Instead, it's related to the setup process for streaming from your Xbox to Discord.

    - Stream to Discord Feature: Discord has introduced a feature called "Stream to Discord", which allows you to stream your Xbox gameplay directly to Discord. This feature was initially available to Xbox Insiders and is now accessible to all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One console users. Here's how it works:

    - Connect Your Xbox Profile to Discord:

    - If you haven't already connected your Xbox account to Discord, follow these steps:

    - Open Discord on your desktop or mobile.

    - Go to User Settings > Connections.

    - Look for the Xbox logo and click it.

    - Sign in with your Microsoft account.

    - Once connected, you're all set up!

    - Streaming Process:

    - While connected to a Discord voice channel or call on your Xbox:

    - Press the Xbox button on your controller.

    - Navigate to the Parties & Chats tab.

    - Select Discord.

    - Choose the voice channel where you want to stream your Xbox gameplay.

    - Click Stream your game.

    - Adjust the resolution and framerate settings as desired.

    - Finally, select Start Streaming.

    - Bonding with Friends:

    - Streaming your favorite games on Discord is a fantastic way to connect and bond with your friends, regardless of whether they have an Xbox account or not. Whether you're showing off character builds, sharing hidden areas, or demonstrating your competitive skills, Discord provides a virtual couch for friends to enjoy gaming together from anywhere in the world.

    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,
