Xbox Companion Streaming Microphone Not Working

I'm pretty sure that the Xbox Console Companion app is now outdated. You should probably use the new Xbox app.

Is your issue related to using your mic in the actual app or your mic using Game Bar?

Game Bar party chat is much better than the app's built-in party chat and will most definitely pick up your mic.

(You can activate Game Bar by pressing Win + G)

You can also change your default mic in the Settings in the Sound tab.

Hi there Trevor welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. I suggest uninstalling the accessories app completely! Everytime that it tried to give me a hard time I do this and it works wonders! Here are the steps!

As there is a standard for webcams introduced in Windows 10, most "off the shelf" cameras that are certified for Windows 10 will work with Xbox One as a replacement for the camera part of Kinect for streaming.

However, for USB microphones, there is no such standard yet, and therefore, Microsoft can't add multiple different drivers for USB microphones, as it makes no sense to add a driver for multiple types of Microphones.

So either get a microphone that has a 3.5mm jack and put that into the controller (with an adapter to convert the Microphone jack to a CTIA compliant jack if necessary), or set up your stream to go through your PC and use the Microphone on your PC to add
your voice to the stream.

There are USB microphones that will work with the XBOX. One that works and is made for XBOX is the Turtle Beach Stream Mic. I personally have one and works great. Before purchasing it, I tried a BLUE Yet microphone which is USB and did not work. I
am not aware if there are others that work but the Stream Mic works. It also has a PC app for some fine tuning and a headphone jack for Mic monitoring and game audio

No, there is no Microphone you can use on the Xbox One. If you want to use it for broadcasting or Streaming, then you have to use a PC to stream, as that is the only way to use a microphone to stream or broadcast your games.
