Twitch and kinect

now will we need kinect on in order to stream or can we turn it off and still stream?

:)

 

twitch and kinect

right iv set kinect up and recalibrated it, moved it and recalibrated it but still i get this issue.

when i goto the settings to stream a game on twitch im tryimg to turn auto zoom on as im sat about 7 feet away from the tv, however when i turn auto zoom on the kinect sensor looks over to the left it looks that far over to the left that im amazed by its
field of view but not its accuracy, it wont focus on me at all, iv tried moving around, waving, jumpimg and even shouting at it in frustration.

i looked on skype and turned zoom on and it tracks me in the circle but again it looks over too the left but at least i can see me (not being vain)

Also I'm in the dashboard beta/preview so it may have something to do with that as well so it could be....

A. Kinect

B. Twitch

D. Dashboard preview/beta

If anyone can help or have an idea please let me know.

 

Twitch broadcasting update

You dont need the kinect and twitch uses your microphone for voice

 

i dont actually know but im gonna say we will need it turned on for the dvr function to work assuming thats how they will utilise the streaming function of twitch, but like i said i dont actually know

 

I hope we dont need to have it on.i aint used kinect since day one

 

Am also guessing picture in picture on stream will only work with kinect on.

 

You should be able to stream without a kinect. That's just if you want to let the world watch you while your gaming.

 

I'm a bit concerned with the date they are releasing twitch stream. It is going to be very hard to pick up viewers when most of xbox will be busy streaming... Titanfall.

Sigh I think that is going to hurt the twitch app. I myself intend to stream other games... We will see how that pays off.

Mia you do know streaming is not a ONE day event.... and will be here most likely for the duration of the XB lifespan... you are acting like if you do not stream the first day (which EVERYONE will be) you will miss out...

I thinks the XB masses will crash the Twitch servers within minutes... 3+ million streamers going.. all with 0 to 1 viewers

 

The 1st thing that came to mind for me when the OP asked if the Kinect's camera had to be on while streaming was a stream of nothing but the color black with a disembodied voice saying "can you hear me now?"

 

Pro gamers prefere the xbox so they will all stream

 

I seriously doubt every xbox one owner will be streaming games....I will never touch the app, I am quite certain there are many others not interested in streaming games.
