Party chat getting cut off when I stream to windows 10

Hi,

To clarify your concern, kindly answer the following questions:

1. Are you using the Xbox One Chat Headset or the Xbox One Stereo Headset?

2. Are you using a wired or wireless Xbox One controller?

3. Is your Windows 10 computer and Xbox One console connected to the same network?

4. Have you tried using a different controller?

5. Have you tried using a different headset?

In the meantime, we recommend running the Windows audio troubleshooting wizard. Here are the steps:

1. On the taskbar, press and hold the volume icon.

Note: You can also right-click the volume icon.

2. Select Troubleshoot sound problems, and then follow the instructions.

Keep us posted.

Any update on this? I had the same problem, so I switched to another PC that was still working correctly, meaning I could see my xbox one streamed through windows 10, but continue to use the controller with the headset as usual.

And then after several weeks, just like with my 1st PC, for some reason the party chat now transitions away from my controller headset to my PC when I start streaming. If I stop streaming, the controller headset starts working again. So my choice is to
either participate in party chat OR see the screen, but not both.

This makes streaming useless for any multiplayer activity involving party chat.

Hello Ported,

No, you do not need to be streaming in order to use party chat. You can use party chat directly from the Windows 10 app.

As regards Minecraft, unfortunately there the answer is no. You cannot at this time connect to people on Minecraft Xbox One from the Windows 10 version.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

Hey there!

Thanks for posting. While streaming your Xbox One to your Windows 10 PC, it is by design that Xbox Live parties are prioritized on Windows 10 at that point.

However, if you own a Micro USB cable or the Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for your Windows 10 PC, you can use the Xbox One Chat Headset on Windows 10 for Xbox Live Parties. Check out our

Troubleshoot the Xbox One Chat Headset on Windows 10 article for steps on how that set up should look.

Hope that helps!

is it the Mixer Chat window or Xbox Party Chat?

are you streaming through PC?
