Webcams on Xbox Streams
Whenever you’re broadcasting to sites like Twitch, using a webcam to bring yourself on-stream is one of the best ways to connect with your audience. The Xbox One and Series S|X both accept most major USB webcams – simply plug one into an Xbox USB port and you’re good to go!
But getting your webcam on-stream is only half the battle. You’ll want to create a webcam frame and overlay to help brand yourself, and include alerts and other interactive elements to encourage viewer participation in the stream. But how do you know where to position these elements without covering your webcam?
Twitch’s broadcasting app for Xbox has 8 pre-set positions you can select to position your webcam on your stream. But what size is the camera? What is the exact X/Y positioning on your broadcast? These are important questions to answer if you need to design a frame that perfectly fits your Xbox stream. In the case of a phone, learn more about mobile streaming for Twitch and how to do your camera placement with our step-by-step guide.
