With everything going on in the world, it’s more important than ever that we stay connected to our friends, families and communities. We’ve heard your feedback and are excited to bring back this fan-favorite feature, revamped and better than ever. Starting today, Xbox and Twitch are teaming up to make live streaming from your Xbox easier than ever. You can now access Twitch directly from the Xbox Guide and manage your setup in a few simple steps.
Getting started is easy with the Xbox guide
On your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One console, navigate to the Capture & Share tab in the guide and select Live Streaming. You must link your Twitch account by scanning the QR code with an iOS or Android mobile device, or by navigating to the URL on your PC or mobile device. Once your account is linked, select the “Go Live Now” button to go live immediately and start live streaming games that will be downloaded to your console.
Manage audio and resolution of your live stream
Next, Plug in your headset and webcam. You can set your stream title and through the options panel we’ve added the ability to manage game and mic audio levels, include party chat and even manually set your resolution and bitrate. Then all you have to do is click on “Go live now”. Would you like to swap games in the middle? Don’t worry, a pause screen will appear when you’re not in-game, and your console will automatically update the game you’re playing on Twitch.
You are live now!
People can view your streams on any device they use to access Twitch. On the Xbox console, players who follow you can receive notifications when you go live on Twitch. To enable this, navigate to the Xbox notifications in settings and adjust the live streaming settings.
Check out future updates, we’ll have some great new features soon based on your feedback. Go ahead, fire up your console and stream, see you on Twitch!
