There are two methods to stream Xbox gameplay from a PC: with a capture card or without.

Streaming Xbox from a PC also allows you to multistream to all of your preferred platforms at once. Though not as comfy as streaming Xbox gameplay directly from your couch, with the use of a gaming PC and a software like Streamlabs Desktop, you can create professional-looking live streams easily. If you want to stream to a platform besides Twitch (such as Trovo, YouTube, or Facebook), you’ll need a PC. If you’re unsure whether the software will work for you, the 7 day free trial is the perfect way to experiment and go live today. You can use Streamlabs Studio for as little as $4.99 per month or opt for the yearly subscription at a discounted rate of $49.99. We have an article with step-by-step instructions for new Streamlabs Studio users. To use Streamlabs Studio, you’ll need to download the Twitch app from Microsoft and then log into to customize your stream-you can even log in from your smartphone. Alerts are crucial for encouraging viewers to subscribe and donate, as people love seeing their names on screen and, more importantly, want to receive verbal recognition from the streamer. Not only are overlays and widgets important for making a stream look professional, they allow for personalization to make your streams stand out.

If you want to stream with different overlays, alerts, and widgets, you need to check out Streamlabs Studio, which is available for Xbox One and Xbox X or S series.

Headphones and/or a webcam aren’t required, but are great accessories to consider. As for hardware, you’ll need a USB microphone to plug into your Xbox (check out our article for recommendations). No software needed: you simply need to navigate to Capture and Share from the Xbox dashboard, then Live streaming. At the moment, Twitch is the only platform supported for console direct broadcasting. Whether you don’t own a PC or simply don’t want to use one, you can broadcast your Xbox gameplay straight from your console to Twitch. Today we’ll talk about the different ways to live stream Xbox gameplay including what hardware and software you’ll need to get the job done.
