Once you have joined the Xbox Insider program, follow the below steps:
- Firstly, connect your Xbox profile to Discord if you haven’t already linked them, together.
- For that, head to Settings > User Settings > Connections > Xbox logo.
- If you have used Discord Voice earlier, you might have connected your accounts.
- Press the Xbox button on your controller and head to the Parties & Chats tab.
- Then, you can either create a Discord server or join a Voice channel from your available servers.
- Lastly, select the “Stream your game” option to start streaming your gameplay for Discord friends.
You can start streaming your Xbox gameplay with up to 720p resolution with 30 frame rates. But if you have subscribed to Discord Nitro, you can stream HD quality up to 1080p with increased frame rates. Aside from streaming your Xbox Series S | X or One gameplay on Discord servers, you can also DM call or Group DM.
