Microsoft has now partnered with Twitch to add capture card support to streams on the Xbox One. This was aounced by Major Nelson, and it’s a really nice change for streamers.
Previously, only Xbox One players broadcasting their gameplay via the Xbox Twitch app could take advantage of the several different ways to amplify their content and chael on Xbox Live to share updates and grow their audience. Now, any Twitch user who has linked their Xbox Live and Twitch accounts together and is broadcasting an Xbox One game using a capture card will automatically have their content amplified in the following places:
- The Activity Feed on Xbox One and the Xbox app on Windows 10, iOS and Android
- Notifications to their followers on Xbox One and the Xbox app on Windows 10, iOS and Android
- Game Product Details Page in the Xbox Store
Getting your stream promoted there is pretty easy, too. Users simply have to link their Xbox Live account with their Twitch account, and then mark their stream with the right game. No further changes are required, and your stream will be automatically shown in the places listed above.
