My microphone is glitching on Xcloud.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Happy New Year.

Hello Scarlett50041, as Fortite through Xcloud runs in streaming, depending on your type of connection, the time you are playing, etc., there may be lag or the microphone is failing.

The quality of Xcloud's service will depend a lot on your home network and the equipment you use to play.

You would have to connect them with Bluetooth to your tv.

Hello Jesse Taylor3,

Welcome to Xbox Forums and we appreciate you for sharing this with us.

I'd be happy to help you with your concern regarding using your EarPods or headphones microphone on your TV while using xCloud.



Firstly, it's important to note that not all TVs support the use of external microphones. You'll need to check your TV's manual or specifications to see if it has a microphone input. If it does not, you may need to consider using a different device such as a gaming headset that is compatible with your TV.



Assuming your TV does support external microphones, the next step is to ensure that your EarPods or headphones are compatible with your TV. Some headphones may require an adapter to connect to your TV's microphone input. You can check the manufacturer's website or manual to see if your headphones require an adapter.



Once you have confirmed that your headphones are compatible with your TV, you can connect them to your TV's microphone input. The location of the microphone input may vary depending on your TV's model, so you may need to refer to your TV's manual to locate it.



After connecting your headphones to your TV's microphone input, you'll need to adjust the audio settings on your TV to ensure that the microphone is being used. This can also vary depending on your TV's model, but typically you can access the audio settings by pressing the "Menu" button on your TV remote and navigating to the audio settings.



In the audio settings, you should see an option to select the microphone input. Select your headphones or EarPods from the list of available inputs. You may also need to adjust the volume levels to ensure that your microphone is picking up your voice properly.

To use your in-built microphone on Chromebook on xCloud, you need to make sure that your microphone is enabled and set as the default input device on your Chromebook. Here are the steps to do that:



1. Click on the status area in the bottom right corner of your Chromebook screen.

2. Click on the gear icon to open the Settings menu.

3. Scroll down to the "Device" section and click on "Audio".

4. Make sure that the "Input" section is selected.

5. Check that the microphone is enabled and set as the default input device.

6. Adjust the input volume as needed.



Once you have confirmed that your microphone is enabled and set as the default input device, you can use it to communicate with your friends on Fortnite through xCloud.



If you are still having issues with your microphone, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:



1. Restart your Chromebook and try again.

2. Check that your microphone is not muted or turned off.

3. Try using a different microphone or headset to see if the issue is with the device itself.

4. Check that your internet connection is stable and strong enough to support xCloud.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Do you know if it’ll be back up? I’m thinking it happened because the sims 4 base game went free. Hopefully they put it back on xcloud and it’s just a glitch or something.
