Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One Twitch streaming still 'a few more months' away

"Xbox One Direct Broadcasting: There is no ETA at this time from Microsoft. Expect a few more months. If we know sooner, we'll update."

"We understand that the broadcasting component of Twitch is very important, and it is a major focus on our roadmap as we work to ensure it is seamlessly implemented into our Xbox One experience over the coming months."

Least they are getting it, It's a fun little time wasting feature.



What's so hard about implementing it?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I dont get it. Why has MS not implemented this yet?

This should be the number 1 priority for MS. Broadcasting live gameplay and watching live gameplay has taken the PC gaming community by storm.

Its the latest craze of the gaming world. And considering that MS has a bundled camera it will be even more accessible to Xbox One owners. They also announced some sort of partnership with Twitch months ago! Why didn't they think this was important?And more importantly why is it STILL not a priority?

We should make bets on which comes first: XBONE game streaming or PS4 game suspension.

PS4 game suspension first.



Hmm, I'm sure they'll have it ready for TitanFall and Halo 5.



It's very easy to do...

Unless they add social media BS to it.



I agree it is easy to do if you don't have a game running in the consoles.

You need to add this feature that will be running in background without create any interference with the game... so you have to be careful to implement this feature.

PS4 uses a background processor for this task.

Edit - The streaming needs to share internet bandwidth with MP games and Party Chat too.
