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

Hey CharlesGamer, how are you today? Hope you're well.

You would have to configure the stream to enable the chat of Xbox and also, all of your friends, that are in the party, have to set their privacy settings to allow their voices to be shared in a stream.

Method 1 – Xbox Party Chat

Xbox has a feature built in allowing you to share your Xbox Party chat through the Twitch app. However for this to work everyone in your party chat will have to confirm that they allow their chat to be broadcast. This will allow your Twitch chat to hear anyone that you are playing with in your party. Your Twitch chat may still not be able to hear other players that are in your game depending on the game you are playing.

Step 1 – Start A Party

The first thing you need to do is start a party with your friends. To do this hit the Xbox Button on your controller to open the menu and then select Parties and Chats –> Start A Party. You can then select Invite more and invite your friends to your party.

Step 2 – Allow Audio To Be Broadcast

If you want to broadcast other people’s audio you will need to make sure that they select the “include my audio” checkbox in the Xbox Party Chat screen. To do this click the Xbox Button and then Select Parties and Chats –> Include My Audio.

Step 3 – Set Party Chat Volume In Twitch Chat

You now need to make sure that your party is not muted in the Twitch app on your Xbox. To do this go to the Twitch app, move down to the audio sources and un-mute Party Chat. Here you can also adjust the volume of the party chat to balance your friends audio levels compared to your mic volume on the stream.

Method 2 – In-Game Chat

In certain games you are able to hear your in-game chat on your stream. This means that in some games you can play with Randoms and your Twitch stream will be able to hear the people you are playing with. However there is a lot of games that do not allow you to broadcast game chat due to privacy reasons. You will need to check if the game you are playing allows broadcasting or not.

Hey there KCxGuNz!

Sorry to hear about the chat issue! Before you stream with the Twitch app, the Twitch app should snap to the right. In that menu, navigate to the bottom and select 'Settings' and there should be an 'Enable Microphone' setting, along with a slider to adjust
microphone volume. Make sure your microphone is enabled and your volume is up and post back if that helps you out!

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

This can be frustrating, but there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

1. Adjust the mic sensitivity: On Xbox Series X, you can adjust the mic sensitivity to ensure it's capturing your voice properly. Here's how:

a. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
b. Go to "Profile & system" > "Settings" > "General" > "Volume & audio output".
c. Under "Party chat output," select "Headset & speakers" or "Headset only."
d. Adjust the "Mic monitoring" slider to increase the sensitivity of the microphone.

2. Check the microphone settings in Twitch: Sometimes, the issue may be related to the settings within the Twitch app itself. Launch the Twitch app on your Xbox Series X and go to the broadcast settings. Look for any microphone-related settings, such as mic volume or gain, and ensure they are properly configured.

3. Test with a different streaming platform: To determine if the issue is specific to Twitch or more related to the console or microphone settings, try streaming on a different platform, such as YouTube or Mixer (if available). This can help identify if the problem persists across different platforms or if it's specific to Twitch.

4. Update the Twitch app: Ensure that you have the latest version of the Twitch app installed on your Xbox Series X. Sometimes, app updates can include bug fixes or improvements that address issues like audio problems.

5. Contact Twitch support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to Twitch support directly. They can provide specific guidance related to their platform and may be able to offer further troubleshooting steps or solutions.

Remember to also check for any firmware updates for your Xbox Series X and ensure that your headset and controller are running the latest firmware versions. Keeping your system and peripherals up to date can often resolve compatibility issues.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the low mic volume issue when streaming on Twitch. Good luck with your streaming endeavors!

Best regards.
