Xbox Companion app and streaming on twitch

InFI KrazY · Sep 20, 2019

So I know that there are some ways to get party chat to work when capturing the xbox companion app for twitch. I have worked through this for myself, and just had the party chat output come through my speakers, this is fine for me while streaming the way
that I do. My question is, is there any way to capture in game chat? What I mean is, when I am not playing with people that I know, I go into in-game chat. I can hear and talk to them just fine, but my stream can not hear them at all.

I saw another question asked like this but all that support was trying to do, was tell them that you can't have party chat and in game chat at the same time. I know that, what I'm trying to figure out, is how to capture in game chat, when that is the chat
that I am using to communicate with random teammates on games like Apex.

Hi There,

Xbox does not have an app or an option to stream directly to YouTube, it is only possible to stream to Mixer or Twitch. The only way you could stream to YouTube is through a PC with either a Capture card/device or by using the Console companion app to remote
into your console and stream that app on your PC.

Hi!

In group chat, the option must be enabled to stream the party chat. All people in a party with you should activate it.

as far as i was aware, in game chat in games automatically comes out of the game speakers so i would have thought it would be automatically captured as when i ever have audio coming out of the tv and not my headset then any game chat just comes out of
the tv speakers, so i would have thought it just automatically gets captured.

Hi InFi,

as far as i know, this is either only capable over a game capture card. or potentially with some work around streaming over the companion app.

On a capture card you just share party chat audio to Speakers and Headphones, that should have a similar effect on ingame chat.

I stream using the OBS software and capture the Xbox Companion App. Regardless, if i were to attempt to use the app as intended to wirelessly stream the Xbox on my laptop, I am unable to hear the in-game chat of certain games. I do not know if this falls
more on the shoulders of the game developers or is an issue with the Xbox and the Xbox Companion App.

If I were to utilize the Twitch app on the Xbox I experience issues with in-game chat as well. I have to set up a private party then re-enter game chat for it to work and the in-game chat is still not broadcasted to the twitch network. Party chat is broadcasted
when others include their audio voluntarily, but there doesn’t seem to be a way for in-game chat to be given the same option.
