Requirements to Stream Games on Twitch on Xbox Series S or X

• You can stream to Twitch on any of these consoles as they can easily run Twitch.
• You also need a TV to which you will connect your gaming console. It doesn’t matter what kind of TV you are using or what the resolution of it is. Your TV’s features don’t matter since it will be only used as a monitor.
• You will need the Xbox controllers to play the video game on your gaming console. It doesn’t matter what kind of controller you are using with the console. The default controller that comes with the console will be sufficient.
• Broadband internet or any powerful internet connection is vital if you wish to stream games to Twitch. Bear in mind the better internet speed you have, the better streaming quality will be. Also, you will be able to stream lag-free games if your internet is stable and fast. That is why we recommend a broadband connection or a wireless one.
• A headset will be required for you if you wish to stream your games because, without a headset, you won’t be able to provide high-quality audio for your viewers. Most headsets come with a dedicated microphone set in front of your chin, providing a better voice to your audience.

Once you have all these things ready, you are all set to stream your video games to Twitch.

Streaming Games on Xbox Series S and X Using Twitch

When you stream games using Twitch on your Xbox gaming console, you get a lot of control over how you stream. For example, you can customize the stream by the controls on your screen. When it comes to stream games on Xbox series S and X, you get fundamental streaming options. However, that should be enough for you if you want to stream your games to your friends.

If you want to make your streaming more striking and higher in quality, we recommend using a computer to enhance your streaming quality. You can broadcast your gaming console’s screen using your computer. Several third-party utilities allow you to broadcast the audio and video of the gaming console. One such utility is OBS Studio that will enable you to broadcast your gaming console’s screen from your PC, giving you more control over your streaming quality and other things.

You can also check whether your headset and webcam produce decent audio and video quality before streaming your games to the public. Ensure that your video doesn’t look fuzzy and dull if you are streaming your video games with the public.
