Is microphone supported on samsumg smart tv cloud gaming yet?

Hello Joe-r-5,

I'm an Independent Advisor. Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I will be responding to you in short period of time and I apologize for a delay in response.

I understand your concern. You can use a Bluetooth headset, but microphone output isn’t currently supported. We're still waiting for that feature to be added. You can still use your headset to hear game and chat audio. Please note that when your controller is connected via Bluetooth, audio devices connected through the controller are not supported. To use a headset, connect your headset directly to your TV.

To begin using a Bluetooth headset for cloud gaming with your Samsung smart TV, pair your headset to the TV:

>Launch a game from inside the Xbox app or from the Samsung Gaming Hub.

>Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select the Headset icon. This will open the Samsung settings menu.

>Select Audio > Bluetooth Speaker List.

>Put your Bluetooth headset into pairing mode. When your TV detects your headset, select it from the list and then follow the prompts. Your headset should connect to your TV automatically the next time you turn it on.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns about this.

As a fellow gamer, I understand this is likely not the answer you were hoping for. I'm sorry, Adam.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.

Best regards.

Samsumg has several 39/40" TV for around $400. I just purchased a 55" smart TV with game mode, works/looks great.

Hi Kaissa,

As explained above, keyboard and mouse unfortunately isn’t compatible with Cloud gaming at the moment. There are various controllers that are supported, though.

Refer to this guide:

Cloud gaming with the Xbox app on your smart TV | Xbox Support

which includes a section confirming what controllers are compatible and how to connect a controller to your smart TV

Hope this helps.

Smart TVs typically do not have native support for complex gaming peripherals like the Logitech G920. These devices are usually designed to interface with PCs or gaming consoles through specific drivers and software that a Smart TV doesn't support.

If you're using Xbox Cloud Gaming (previously known as xCloud), the primary compatibility concern is whether the cloud gaming service and the device you're using it on (in this case, your Samsung Smart TV) support the G920. As of my last update in April 2023, Xbox Cloud Gaming primarily supported standard Xbox controllers.
