Please make things easier to stream!

Can you guys at Microsoft stop making things harder for the community to stream.

1) Why no support for USB Microphones ?

I cannot believe the series s/x didn’t have A/V Input/Output features. It makes me wonder if anyone making these discussions actually cares about what the customers want.

2) Why can’t I stream gameplay on from the Xbox App anymore?

This was such a great feature, it allowed gamers to stream gameplay without having to buy an expensive aftermarket capture card. Can we please have this simple ability back or must we spend money on aftermarket parts. You guys are literally loosing money

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Pete

I think USB microphones are not supported due to is more intended the USB port in the console for external hard drivers (to store games or clips)

What do you mean by the second question?
Do you mean the Xbox PC app or the mobile app?

You can try suggesting your ideas, the proper site to do it is in the insiders subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/wiki/ideas

If more players vote for it, maybe we all are going to see those features

Hope it helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask

I usually have Mixer and the YouTube stream open. I just wish you could rewind/fast forward on the Mixer streams, that would make things so much easier.

Honestly, that's unlikely to happen because of copyright issues. It is very unlikely that Microsoft and Spotify would let the official Spotify app inject music into a livestream for which the streamer is unlikely to hold the correct licence.

However, if you never ask, you never get, right? So to put the idea forward, you can use the Xbox Feedback site:
xbox.uservoice.com. There, you can make your suggestion and others can upvote it to show support; or, if the idea already exists, you can upvote that one to show your support for the idea.

Play in parties with friends and use the mute if ever in game chat. Those are probably the best two tips, LOL.

You didnt need 12 paragraphs to say," CAMP ". J/K, but unfortunately camping is successful, unless your a beast with a good connection. BTW, I dont camp, LOL.

Please make things easier to stream!
