Using webcam on Twitch app, how to use the webcam's microphone?

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.

Hi XBF, so I definitely need a webcam ?. I can't use my my windows surface pro for this right ?. If I can't then I'll buy one with a mic and let the community know if it works. Thanks for your reply 😊✌

Guide to using Webcam with Mixer

You can use a Webcam with the Xbox as long as it's compatible, not sure on the specifics of twitch, but I'm sure some other folks out there can answer that..

Unfortunately, the twitch app for xbox is really not the beet way to stream as it is quite outdated. Best case scenario would be separate pc for streaming/webcam capture, but if you dont have that your options are limited. On mixer, you can use most webcams,
but the twitch app has great difficulty in recognizing cameras that are not the kinect. As others have mentioned, there may be ways around this, but it can be difficult if doing everything solely through the app.

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.
