no party chat when streaming xbox app.

M0orty · Sep 5, 2016

Hello i am using the xbox app to stream my xbox one. I also use Open Broadcaster. My setup is. Xbox one to play halo 5. The controller and headset are connected to the xbox. I use my laptop to run obs and the xbox app. I have the app running on a separate
monitor so i can capture it with obs. That all works. When I start to stream a game using the app, I lose all sound in my headset via the controller connected to my xbox. Does anybody know the solution? I can hear game and party chat coming from my pc speakers.
even when i connect my headset to the pc I can hear them. But my mic wont work that way either. I would prefer my mic to be connected to the controller via xbox. so any help would be great thanks.

Windows 10 Game Streaming Microphone Not Working!

So recently when Game Streaming through the Xbox App on Windows 10 I used to be able to talk to people with my microphone while game streaming in game chat and party chat, but after some updates, it no longer works and says no microphone detected! I've followed
EVERY step in setting the microphone as a default playback/recording device and no success. I can use the party chat feature in the Xbox App but I can't use my mic while streaming which is frustrating!

xbox party chat

I'm also unable to hear or chat when in a party when I stream an xbox game on my desktop via the Xbox App; once I stop streaming - chat is restored.

this is a known common issue. a few things that worked for me.

1. connect the controller to the laptop rather than xbox. i use the xbox wireless apadter so i can wirelessly connect my controller to the laptop.

or

2. start the xbox then load the game. once in the game start the xbox app and start streaming it to your laptop. then resync the controller to the xbox. this works 8 out of 10 times.

When you stream through Xbox there is a setting in the twitch app to include party chat. But the party members have to allow their audio to be used. If you have “Party Chat” muted on the broadcast screen (it's in between “Microphone” and “Game”), or won't have the option to include audio.

HI their,

The Twitch App for Xbox has a new feature: you now have the ability to broadcast your Party Chat.

To use this, enable the “Broadcast party chat” option in the
Twitch app settings on Xbox.

Everyone in your party will have the option to allow/enable their voice to be heard by your broadcast/stream. Should they decline (DISABLE) , you’ll still be able to chat with them in your party, but they will not be heard
on the Stream/broadcast.

Hope this helps.

I stream using the OBS software and capture the Xbox Companion App. Regardless, if i were to attempt to use the app as intended to wirelessly stream the Xbox on my laptop, I am unable to hear the in-game chat of certain games. I do not know if this falls
more on the shoulders of the game developers or is an issue with the Xbox and the Xbox Companion App.

If I were to utilize the Twitch app on the Xbox I experience issues with in-game chat as well. I have to set up a private party then re-enter game chat for it to work and the in-game chat is still not broadcasted to the twitch network. Party chat is broadcasted
when others include their audio voluntarily, but there doesn’t seem to be a way for in-game chat to be given the same option.

no party chat when streaming xbox app.
