How to get my webcam to work while twitch streaming

USB webcam. Stream to mixer and twitch. Wireless controller. Astro a40tr headset with optical audio. I've tried my wireless headset but no change

Hi OblivionPh0enix,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help figure out what could be causing the crashing.

Are you streaming to Mixer or Twitch directly from your Xbox?

Do you have a USB webcam plugged in while you stream?

We've seen some instances where the Xbox One console would shut off while streaming on Mixer with a USB webcam plugged in. Let us know if this applies to you.

Hi there,

The only streaming services on the Xbox is Mixer and Twitch but the Twitch app is only limited to using the Kinect as a webcam and mic because Twitch hasn't seemed to update the app.

On Mixer you can connect a webcam through USB and the Camera option will be selectable in the "Broadcast & capture" tab in the menu found under Advanced Settings. As far as the Microphone goes, I think it should work and be detected as you say that it works
for party chats and most streamers use their headset mic's but give it a try in the advanced settings on Mixer and let us know if it works.

are you on the insider program ? i cannot be 100% certain as its a while since i used twitch to stream, but i know at one point there was an issue with the twitch app and you had to be on the insider program to broadcast via webcam, im not sure if this has been solved and its another issue, but once i entered the xbox preview insider program it solved my issues at the time.

Hi XBF, so I definitely need a webcam ?. I can't use my my windows surface pro for this right ?. If I can't then I'll buy one with a mic and let the community know if it works. Thanks for your reply 😊✌
