Xbox one Skype app

Nacknud · May 24, 2014

Hi,

I don't want to use my kinect mic for game chat, but would like to have it on for the Skype app. Is it possible to do this without changing the box in the kinect 'settings' each time I want to use Skype?

There's still not one single good reason to force Kinect on gamers

I could not imagine using the xbox without the kinetic, I always turn it on and off with voice, party chat would be so difficult to use without, same as twitch, Skype. My Mrs loves the fitness app too.

Skype Bug: Kinect mic nonfunctional for Skype only.

Since the update to Skype on my Preview-enrolled Xbox One, the Kinect microphone does not work with the app. I have the permissions set correctly—Skype is allowed to access my mic in the Settings page—and the Kinect mic works in all other situation, including
game chat and voice commands.

But now when making Skype calls only the video works. No one receives my audio, and occasionally I get an error message saying that my mic isn't working. But it is, just not for Skype, despite all the right settings as I said.

Hi!

To the best of my knowledge, this is not possible at the moment.

Lobby chat will not work with a TE2 fight stick using the kinetic. This is a real problem as none of the Xbox one fight stick come with a mic port. I have been trying to use the kinetic to chat with players in lobbies but I get no sound at all. Party
chat seems to work but actual lobby chat seems very buggy.

I have the same issue. My kinetic works fine and I can hear everyone in the party but no one can hear me. Whether I speak through the connect mic or a mic i plug in. It worked fine the day before now this.
