  1. Xbox Kinect Auto-Zoom Feature Not Functioning Correctly in Twitch (Depending on Game)


    Since October 2015 I have noticed that auto-zoom doesn't work when broadcasting with Twitch. Instead, you get a little white box. I assumed that the feature was just disabled for certain games, however after discussion with friends with the same issue, I
    found that wasn't the case.

    The Kinect is actually focused to the top left of the area.. for most people the ceiling, hence the white box. Putting my hand in front of the camera showed my hand and movement, so it is looking somewhere. It is not disabled, but it is not functioning properly.

    So I decided to do some testing. I have had this feature work just fine in Skype after October 2015 and it worked for me previously in July 2015 in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. This lead me to believe it may be game/app related as I haven't touched Halo:
    MCC since October.

    To make sure I still had the issue, I tested with Halo 5 and Rock Band 4, two games I knew had the issue. I still had the issue. I then tested it in Halo: MCC, auto-zoom feature worked.

    I re-calibrated my Kinect, tested again with the same result.

    From this I can conclude that the issue is dependent on game/app. Re-calibration does NOT affect the outcome.

    Auto-zoom Works With

    Skype

    Halo: The Master Chief Collection

    Auto-Zoom Does NOT Work With

    Halo 5 Guardians

    Rock Band 4

    I will need to test with more games, but I don't have a whole lot. If others can list what games they have and don't have issues with, this may help solve the issue quicker. I hope we can get this sorted soon, I sorely miss this feature when streaming newer
    games.

    :)

    Twitch+Diablo3=No Auto Zoom?

    Got twitch broadcasting. Works just fine in most games, except Diablo. Cant get the auto zoom feature to work. It just shows the entire room. I know the problem isnt the kinect because auto zoom works just fine in forza and titanfall and even skype. But
    when I try and turn it on while broadcasting Diablo it just shows a fuzzy white screen. Others have mentioned that it zooms in on crazy stuff for them and not their face but I dont think thats what happening here. Anyone else have this problem? Were you able
    to fix it?

    Error on Twitch with Kinect Auto-zoom feature

    For me, this just started happening today. It worked perfectly before, but suddenly Auto Zoom doesn't work. It zooms in on the middle of the screen with no regard for where the face is. :/

    Tried reinstalling Twitch and rebooting the console with no luck.

    Hey there GrilledCheese92.

    Let's have you try uninstalling the Twitch.tv app, power down the Xbox One by holding down the power button for 8-10 seconds, and then power it back on. Once it's back on please try re-downloading Twitch to see if you're still experiencing trouble.

    Let us know how it goes.
