Twitch / xbox live chat

Hi AustinM2,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

Are you streaming to Twitch directly from the Twitch app on the Xbox? Or are you streaming your Xbox One to your PC through the Xbox Console Companion app? Are you using party chat on the Xbox, or a party through the Xbox Companion app?

What you are describing is by design using the Xbox Live party chats because the servers for the chat are separate from the in-game chat servers. Xbox Live parties effectively mute in-game chat, and mute yourself from in-game chat as well because as I mentioned
previously, party chats and in-game chats run on different servers. Xbox Live parties are more private channels for chatting with friends, so the muting aspect is by design. I believe this is why many Twitch streamers use Discord since you can hear both the
Discord chat and in-game chat at the same time.

You can't chat on the Xbox or Playstation with twitch chat. They changed this a while back. You have to use a phone and the official twitch app to chat. You can read chat but you can't type without a phone or tablet.

Also when they made these changes, they completely broke the twitch app for Xbox. You can't change resolutions and most of the time you cannot open or close the chat window, the buttons for these functions don't work at all. Again, these changes were implemented by twitch and they're the ones who make the application. I'm not sure why they removed the ability to chat directly from the consoles and TV apps but that's how it is now.

Hi again.

If I'm not mistaken, Twitch is the only app on Xbox that allows you to broadcast live. So yes, the limitation applies only to Twitch. However, if there were other similar apps, I imagine the same restrictions would apply. This limitation is likely due to privacy, which is why members of party chats must give permission for their voices to be heard.

Certainly, a capture card should work to stream the full audio from your console to Twitch without that restriction, allowing internal game chat to be heard.

Yeah it was going to say that's twitch does your friend can put a live stream up and you and other friends can watch and have a live chat with voice or text.
