Discord Streams Coming Directly to Xbox Consoles With New Update

As a long-time gamer who has juggled multiple platforms over the years, I can’t help but feel like my prayers have been answered! The integration of Discord streams directly on Xbox is going to revolutionize my gaming life. No more switching tabs or devices just to catch a glimpse of my friends’ gameplay. This feature is going to make those late-night gaming sessions even more enjoyable, and the convenience it brings is truly next-level.


Today’s official blog post unveiled several fresh integrations for Xbox by Discord, including a functionality that lets you view your friends’ live streams on Discord, right from your Xbox console.

The blog post explains that when friends stream their game or app, users can watch on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S. That includes players streaming from “PC, mobile, or another Xbox.”

As an enthusiastic Xbox fan, I can easily navigate to the members’ list in a conversation, pick out the one who’s currently streaming, and click on “Watch Stream.” This simple action opens up a full-screen viewing experience for me.

Today’s article provides an overview of the updated Xbox Friends list as well.

As a result, Xbox gamers will now be able to quickly connect with their Discord friends directly from their console.
