One of the biggest complaints about the Xbox system has long been how limited the Twitch app is for streaming games through the console, but that’s about to change. today Xbox has announced a new collaboration with Twitch through which a new tool has been integrated directly into the system that allows you to stream quickly and easily, and adjust parameters such as sound, resolution or bitrate. This new version of Twitch is now available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
“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 settings in a few simple steps”, we can read in this statement through xboxwire.
Streaming on Xbox consoles through Twitch is now as easy as opening the Xbox guide menu, go to the “Capture and share” section and press “Live broadcast”. “Once your account is linked, select the button “Go live now” to instantly start streaming and start live streaming games that are downloaded to your console.”
The matter does not end there, since “we have included the capacity to manage microphone and game audio levels, include party chat, and even manually set your resolution and bitrate,” says Brenna Duffitt, Software Engineer, Xbox Platform Services. Even you can change the game in the middle of the broadcast without cutting the direct. “A pause screen will be displayed when you are not in the game and your console will automatically update the game you are playing on Twitch.”

Undoubtedly, great news for those fans of live broadcasting through Twitch who have been asking for years for better integration of the platform on Xbox, which increased its number of views by 41% during 2021. It seems that it will not be either the last novelty of the system in relation to community feedback. “Be sure to check back for future updates, we have some awesome new features coming soon based on your feedback,” Duffitt concludes.
