Discord has unveiled a new feature, ‘Stream to Discord’, which lets Xbox gamers directly stream their gaming sessions. This latest update is the first instance of a console providing direct streaming support to Discord, a feature that was previously limited to PC and mobile gaming platforms. Xbox often gets Discord’s new features ahead of Playstation, like the update last year that made it possible for gamers to connect directly to Discord’s Voice channels.
To take advantage of this, you’ll need to link your Xbox and Discord accounts through the Connections menu on your desktop or mobile application. You’ll simply have to click the Xbox icon and log in to your Microsoft account. Once done, you can easily start streaming by going to the Parties & Chats tab on your Xbox, selecting Discord, and then choosing the channel you wish to join. From there, clicking on “Stream your game” will initiate the broadcast of your game. This feature is also available for one-to-one or group direct messages by selecting “transfer to Xbox” during the call, followed by the option to stream your game to your friends. Discord’s Nitro subscribers will benefit from streams in HD quality and up to 1080p resolution.
At present, the ‘Stream to Discord’ feature is accessible to Xbox Insiders and will be released to all Xbox users shortly. The Xbox Insider Hub app can be downloaded by anyone from the Xbox store. Discord has further assured that they are still working on improving Xbox integration, promising more updates in the future.
