Hey Mr. Leonard! I don’t know if you remember me, I was in your media arts class about 5-6 years ago. Just wanted to say I hope you’re doing well and this video was super helpful!!

Hello. So I watched your video and was unable to use that broadcast tab while using the Twitch app while on Xbox it says it's moved and prompts you to use a QR code which redirects you to press the x button on the Xbox where you press go live the settings there are very minimal and do not show anything like what was in the broadcast tab that you showed us

did the boom arm come with it, or did you buy it separately if so can you let me know where you got it?

[@DarkenedCyrus]

It came with another microphone, but I think there is a lot called the T683a that has the arm

[@jonspartan1188]

I have the Logitech C270 Webcam and was wondering how to mute the mic on that webcam because I want to use my own mic instead. Is there a way to do that? Also I am having a difficult time running my webcam smoothingly. It keeps flickering (shown on stream) when it's connected to my Onfinio USB Hub splitter that is 3.0 with 7 Ports.. I even added a 3.5mm power plug-in to give it more "power". Also forgotten to mentioned that I run two, 15ft ITD ITANDA USB Extension Cables USB that are 3.0 Type A Male to Female that has 5Gbps Data Transfer. Idk if I need a different type of Hub that has more power or if I need different USB cables or run a shorter cable rather than running 30ft in total with the two 15 footers. But for whatever reason the webcam works fine when not flickering when it's connected directly into the Xbox itself. So what I am trying to ask what the hell am I doing wrong? (Sorry about the long essay comment just trying to explain my situation)

[@DarkenedCyrus]

This is a great question and I see your comment on another video asking the same question. My concern here is there are MANY options for this as well as great deals for Black Friday. From what I researched though, I'd grab this: amzn.to/3V7CRfp RTX 3050 for an up to date encoder and the 6600h from AMD is a nice chip. Definitely a good price

[@Gwheelzz90]

[@DarkenedCyrus]

Unfortunately, no. That definitely is a downside. You have to rely on the natural adjustments that the camera does out of box

So when I stream on Twitch via my XB1 its super glitchy & bad when I have a fast 500 download speed and 50 upload and using a ethernet hard wired connection from my modem/router ... the only thing I can think of is that its the 1st Gen Xbox One that is slowing me down or holding me back... thoughts anyone?

[@mrbudodan]

I bought the fifine k683a and have hooked it up to the controller with a splitter and aux cable to the mic. I get this humming noise and the mic isn’t really picking up anything. It’s intermittent and you have to shout to be heard. Do you have any ideas what might be wrong please? Thanks

[@bragify8382]

Did you ever find the fix?

[@mrbudodan]

@@bragify8382 unfortunately not. We ended up sending the stuff back and using a headset mic instead. The function of the aux port on the mic appears to output audio to a headset, not for routing the mic to something. After watching this video and others which claim the same thing I decided that they are, at best, misleading.

[@WaynesWorldUnlimited]

I’ve literally just close my twitch down cause I’ve given up with streaming. I’ve been doing it for 17 years had a lot of success of a lot of fails. I still think Xbox needs another option instead of just been limited to twitch. It would be good if we could stream directly from the council to kick or KZbin. If so, which ever goes down and you’re a streamer directly from your console, you’re screwed.

[@DarkenedCyrus]

There is a workaround to be able to stream to it, but you will have to stream to twitch regardless. A third party tool can capture your twitch stream and then send it to other platforms. I should make a video on this it seems

I have lightstream & just upgraded plan since I got a ps5. Only downside is their highest plan is 1080p 30fps. I feel like it looks a Lil blurry so trying to figure it out. 😪 I feel like I'd much rather stream straight off console at 1080p 60fps on twitch but then I'd lose all overlays, alerts, music, & all perks lightstream has. Maybe I need to go back down to the 720p 60fps plan. I'm not too tech savvy so trying to figure out what's best for me lol. Appreciate all the videos on this. You helped me a bunch on my ps4 streams with lightstream!

[@DarkenedCyrus]

Glad this was helpful! I would recommend doing 720p 60fps if you are not a twitch partner and want 60fps. You aren’t guaranteed transcoding and this will allow for those times that you aren’t guaranteed it to have more viewers be able to watch your stream.

[@J_MiLL77]

[@jorgelozano4008]

@1:13 if you guys are willing to damage internals faster and your discs this is a easy way how to not take care of your console. I know people like the idea of it in a vertical position but it's not attended to stand like that you are supposed to lay it flat having it elevated is yes more roomy trust me I wanted the extra space but keep in mind this is an electric that is doing its job to run your games. Elevation doesn't help out with anything in keeping your consoles alive. It'll just look nicer and give you the extra space that's the only pros about it the con about it... you're more prone to being able to tip over the console and if it's in an elevated place and not sturdy it can tip over and fall down and there goes the wallet. Don't put these consoles where it's in a cubby either... it'll trap the heat causing it to not ventilate properly. I know he has a stand for it but even then I still wouldn't trust that. Plus the Xbox has rubber stoppers paddings where it's placed it's not really meant for vertical mounts but if you want to. Do as you please. It's just a bit more of a gimmick add-on. Though you'll lose the stability. Compared to it being horizontal.

[@DarkenedCyrus]

Um, it’s designed to do that? It has the mounting points to support it. Also, HDDs won’t degrade faster in vertical positions. If that was so, why would servers in farms employ this method of data storage?

[@jorgelozano4008]

​@@DarkenedCyrusyou can mount it vertically but you shouldn't cause you could possibly be messing with internals that are running causing your console to sooner or later have future problems fairly quickly than usual. I still have my Xbox one from the actual release date and still works perfectly well. Without any break down problems when my room is a bit hot from a bit of a poor air ventilation problem. It says you may rest it vertically but it's not the best suggestion.

[@jorgelozano4008]

It's just better to have your console how they intentionally designed it for on how it's supposed to be rested. You don't need another add-on. I'll give the disc some gravity if you have it vertically but... It can possibly make the disc get bad scratches.

[@jorgelozano4008]

Also think about it majority of the weight is from the console itself a stand that isn't even mounted on ground onto something... isn't gonna have the stability that'll have compared to it being drilled onto something.
