Using Webcam Mic for Cortana on Xbox

Thanks for your Response.

broadcast with a webcam on Mixer is for broadcasting which works fine.

Problem is Logitech C930e Webcam (Any Webcam) is not responding to "Hi Cortana". Digital Assistant is also on, and Cortana works completely fine with any connected Headphone. How can I use Cortana with a webcam mic?

Hello Pan,

The webcam mic's will not work with Cortana. The program is set up to go through either a Kinect or headphone mic unfortunately. Maybe in the future they will have this feature available.

With Cortana, you can use a headset with mic for voice control, in addition to the Kinect sensor. It works the same for both, with one exception: "Hey Cortana, Xbox on" only works with a Kinect. So you’ll have to turn on your Xbox with a controller
if you’re using a headset.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello Panka,

We understand that you would like to use your Logitech webcam that carries with it a microphone for us with Cortana.

Within our broadcast with a webcam on Mixer support article, the following information is mentioned:

For the best experience, we recommend these webcams:

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

These would be considered our most compatible webcams, and as long as there is compatibility, all functions and aspects of your device will work properly with our Xbox features.

We hope this information was helpful, and we wish you the best.

Thanks Legend! I didnt know that, good stuff. Does the webcam replace the Kinect completely with the ability to use it for the Xbox/Cortana voice commands and TV Control?

Hi there

Cortana is built into the xbox software

You can activate her by saying hey Cortana using kinect or mic but can not be in a party to use it
