You can already stream Xbox games on Discord. Now the two are merging even further to make it easier to stay in touch with friends on the instant messaging platform, right from your console.
How to Stream Your Xbox Games Directly to Discord
The preview, announced in a recent news post, is available to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings. The new features coming to Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One will let players watch Discord streams and call users directly.
In order to view your Discord friends on your Xbox and access these changes, your accounts will need to be linked. Once you do that, your Xbox friends list will contain all of the friends you have on Discord.
The “Now Playing” section shows you which friends are playing a game or chatting. From there, you can start a conversation, join a voice channel, or select “Watch Stream” to watch their gameplay. Watching a stream works no matter where the person is sharing their screen, whether it’s from their phone, computer, or another Xbox.
