Twitch webcam disappears when switching games and only fix is to turn xbox off and back on

I have the same probably my xbox turns off for awhile when im streamjnf on mixer. With a webcam. I got the logitech webcam. My xbox does not turn off when im streaming without a webcam.

I see, try power cycling your Xbox:

Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or on your controller.

Try plugging the webcam into a different USB port on your Series S.

If it's still not working, reset your Xbox:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
Select Reset console.
Select Reset and keep my games & apps

If that doesn't work, I'd recommend contacting Lenovo for further assistance or looking into purchasing a different webcam; these are the webcam models recommended by Xbox:

Microsoft LifeCam Studio
Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000
Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam
Logitech C930e Webcam

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

To turn off Instant On, go into the Xbox One’s Settings by pressing the Menu button, and then Settings, or say “Xbox, go to Settings.” Then go to Power and startup.

Select Power Options, and then switch from Instant-On mode to energy-saving mode. This will allow the Xbox One to completely shut down.

Turn it back on and go into settings and uncheck ""Xbox turn off" turns off my cable or satellite box"", then switch the previous setting back to Instant-On

It is a work around but the only down side is you will have to turn your cable/satellite box off until/if they get a fix

Hi there,

The only streaming services on the Xbox is Mixer and Twitch but the Twitch app is only limited to using the Kinect as a webcam and mic because Twitch hasn't seemed to update the app.

On Mixer you can connect a webcam through USB and the Camera option will be selectable in the "Broadcast & capture" tab in the menu found under Advanced Settings. As far as the Microphone goes, I think it should work and be detected as you say that it works
for party chats and most streamers use their headset mic's but give it a try in the advanced settings on Mixer and let us know if it works.

When I was a kid I used to watch sci fi films and read books about life in the future, I never ever seen anyone switch it off and then back on again.

I had this kick to dashboard a few weeks ago and finally turned it off and it fixed itself, back again doing it today, I already switched off the xbox and it just did it again.

On a brighter note it does seem to only be DR3 thats doing it.
