Webcam I used previously for streaming to Twitch hasn't worked since the Dashboard was...

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 😊✌

Unfortunately, the twitch app for xbox is really not the beet way to stream as it is quite outdated.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.

are you on the insider program ? i cannot be 100% certain as its a while since i used twitch to stream, but i know at one point there was an issue with the twitch app and you had to be on the insider program to broadcast via webcam, im not sure if this has been solved and its another issue, but once i entered the xbox preview insider program it solved my issues at the time.

Hi im also having the same issue, since im using webcam on xbox to stream on mixer. And the only way to stream was to disable camera so i can stream but its not a solution. I also tried on twitch and it was ok, i think that the real problem is the mixer
app on xbox. Sadly its causing me to lose some audience, and i wonder when its going to be fixed.
