How can i use my phone as a webcam when im live streaming with my xbox

Thanks for letting me know!

you cannot use the phone as a webcam on console, it lacks the drivers to connect and access the phones camera and most phones need the manufacturer driver/software installed.

you will need to purchase a cheap usb camera.

I have the same probably my xbox turns off for awhile when im streamjnf on mixer. With a webcam. I got the logitech webcam. My xbox does not turn off when im streaming without a webcam.

Hello Sharky Xbox,

Thank you for your prompt response.

By the way we would like to ask few questiosns.

1. What is the make and model for your webcam?

2. What is the streaming provider you are using?

If there is no option in flip the camera to mirror image, is it happening to other streaming provider?

To use live stream with a webcam on your Xbox Console, you’ll need a 1080p webcam that has a YUY2 or NV12 format to stream with it. Most Logitech and Microsoft LifeCam webcams have this format. If you’re not sure which format your webcam has, check with the manufacturer.

For the best experience, we recommend these webcams:

• Microsoft LifeCam Studio
  
• Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000
  
• Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam
  
• Logitech C930e Webcam
  

To take a mirror image:

• Plug your USB webcam into your Xbox.
  
• Allow your camera to be used for live streaming if you haven’t already:
  
  • Press the Xbox button to open the guide, go to System & profile > Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy > View details & customize > Communication & multiplayer and make sure you can use video for communications.
    
  • In the guide, go to Capture & share > Live streaming > Camera options and check that your camera is set to On.
    
• Open a live streaming provider app and follow the instructions for streaming.
  
• Start your live stream.
  

To stream from a live streaming provider on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, download the app for the provider you want to use. Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Store > Apps. Find and select the app, and then select Install.

Hi im also having the same issue, since im using webcam on xbox to stream on mixer. And the only way to stream was to disable camera so i can stream but its not a solution. I also tried on twitch and it was ok, i think that the real problem is the mixer
app on xbox. Sadly its causing me to lose some audience, and i wonder when its going to be fixed.
