In-game chat question

It happened to me as well NeilSBUK, If you want to use your mic to chat in titanfall you have to go to your Kinect settings and turn off the option to use the Kinect Mic for chat, That's the only way to chat in TF. Sucks to because I hate having a wired
Mic connected to my controller, it hinders me

Kinect

I use Kinect as a mic for Ghosts but it has very big limitations. The Kinect in general has a setting that allows it to pick up your voice and use it as a mic if no mic is plugged in. This works on several games but not Ghosts. Ghosts does not recognize
the Xbones mic and will not try to use it. So you can use the mic to chat, but only if you are in a party. You can host a party switch to game chat and nothing will happen, it will not recognize the mic. But if you stick with party chat in a gamemode that
allows you to play with party chat, then you can chat with your party, but you will never be able to chat with the lobby using the Kinect in Ghosts, at least as of now and the current updates.

.

So there you have it, Use the Kinect for friends in a party, but no Kinect for game chat in ghosts. So looking forward to the adapter when it comes out for my headset.

Hi

If you have headphones with a standard 3.5.mm jack, check to see if you have anywhere to plug your headphones directly in to the TV. This should work while using the Kinect as a mic.

You can can also try using a standard 3.5mm hands-free set of earphones which usually come with a mobile phone, if your controller supports 3.5mm.

Do any of you use the Kinect as a mic? I have my Turtlebeach headset on my Xbone for audio, but as there is no mic adapters out yet, I can NOT chat, but I have heard you can chat using the Kinect.

So a couple questions I have is if you are in private chat or group chat with a headset/mic, do you give the XB1 commands through the headset/mic or via the Kinect mic? Also, if you are in private chat or group chat via the Kinect mic, can you still give
commands to the XB1 through the Kinect mic?
