Level Up Your Gaming: Discord Enhances Experience with Xbox Game Streaming

Highlights

Discord is expanding its options for console gamers by introducing streaming for Xbox consoles, allowing players to share their screens with friends in real-time.

Xbox Insiders members currently have access to this feature by linking their Discord and Xbox accounts. Regular users can expect to gain access to it shortly. Discord continues to introduce new features like ChatGPT and Conversation Summaries, indicating exciting updates in the future for Xbox gamers. Stay tuned for further developments.

Last year, Discord introduced voice chat options for Xbox consoles, allowing gamers to use all the Discord voice chat features while playing games with friends on their Xbox. Now, the company is expanding its console options by announcing streaming for Xbox consoles on its platform. This move is part of Discord's efforts to provide more choices to console gamers, such as connecting Discord to PS5 and allowing Xbox users to use the app while gaming. Since its release in 2015, Discord has grown significantly in popularity among gamers, making these console enhancements a natural progression for the platform.

Now introducing a groundbreaking feature for Xbox players: the ability to directly stream Xbox games to Discord. Be among the first to experience this innovative feature by sharing your screen in real-time with friends on Discord. Currently, this feature is exclusively available to participants of the Xbox Insiders program. However, regular users can look forward to trying out this exciting feature very soon, as affirmed by Discord.

To access this functionality, Xbox Insiders members (and later anyone else) should initially link their Discord and Xbox accounts. They can do it by navigating to "User Settings" and then "Connections" on the Discord desktop app and selecting the Xbox logo. Once completed, during gameplay, they simply need to press the Xbox button, access "Parties & Chats," choose Discord, and stream the game on a channel they are already a part of. Discord Nitro members will have the ability to stream games at higher quality, with resolutions of up to 1080p and higher framerates.

Discord is implementing various features in 2023. Additionally, the platform recently incorporated ChatGPT across all Discord servers, aligning with the global trend of utilizing generative technology based on machine learning to enhance user experiences. The company has been experimenting with a program called Clyde AI, enabling users to search images and playlists on servers. Furthermore, Discord introduced a new feature called Conversation Summaries, which offers users condensed summaries of previous conversations. In their latest blog post, Discord even hinted at upcoming updates for Xbox gamers, urging console owners to stay updated on future developments and offerings.
