6.8 g Update for Killer Instinct is a JOKE.

those complaining should enable "instant on" mode so that these updates happen automatically.

xbox one twitch streaming?

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!

Thanks for the feedback. We're looking into the options in this area, but have nothing definite to announce at this time.

Hi!

It may be a compatibility issue with the earphones. Are you using Xbox headsets or headphones? You can check the functionality of the microphone by creating a group and checking the microphone activity (you should see your logo flash when you speak).

Also make sure that the microphone is enabled in the settings. Is your NAT open in network settings?

Try and uncheck the microphone permissions in the privacy settings, check it back, and after that the apps & games that require microphone will appear. After that you'll only have to select which game you'd like to use your microphone. I did that for Skype
and it did work. It may be working for you too.
