Why is twitch not registering that I have a mic?

Hi Parker,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues streaming on Twitch. I understand that your microphone is not working. For us to isolate your issue, can you test and confirm if your microphone works outside twitch?

Before you go live for the first time, ensure your Privacy settings have “Online status & history” set to “Everybody” in the “Others can see if you’re online” setting.

You’ll also need to set the “You can broadcast gameplay” setting to “Allow” under “Game Content”.

If you’re using a camera, make sure that “You can share content made using Kinect or other cameras” is set to “Allow”.

For complete guide on how to livestream on your Xbox, please see this link:

I can't say if that will work or not but why not turn off the mic feature on Twitch and try using your headset? See if that works for you.

Deac.. I am sure it is.. if you have Kinect for voice set in Twitch app.. it will only use the kinect for the streaming... not for game.. BUT if you have the mic plugged in.. it will work like it normally does... I am sure i was streaming once and in a
party... talking to my buddies...

The chat mic and twitch voice work independently of each other...

I could be wrong.. but I am sure i did it this way and that is how I read it was...

Do you get any error messages or anything like that when trying to use the Mic in the app?

Please try these links i am sure they will help. Sorry you are having such an issue its not uncommon so be patient.N What type of headset do you have? Is it wired or wireless possibly.
