In this article, we will guide you through the process of using Discord directly on your Xbox, allowing you to connect to the Discord voice channel and communicate seamlessly. By following the steps below, you will be able to link your Discord account to your Xbox and enjoy the convenience of using Discord while gaming on your console.
Step 1: Accessing Settings
To begin, navigate to the settings on your Xbox. From the main menu, select “Settings” to access the settings menu.
Step 2: Enabling Remote Features
Within the settings menu, locate the “Device and Connections” section. Under this section, you will find an option labeled “Remote Features”. It is crucial to ensure that the “Remote Features” setting is enabled in order to proceed. Make sure the checkbox is selected.
Tip: If you have your Xbox set to energy saver mode, you will need to switch it to sleep mode for this feature to work.
Step 3: Linking Social Accounts
Once you have enabled remote features, go back to the settings menu and select “Account”. Under the account settings, locate the option for “Linked Social Accounts”.
Step 4: Linking Discord to Xbox
Within the linked social accounts section, you will find the option to link Discord to your Xbox. Click on the Discord option and proceed with the linking process. This will prompt you to connect your Discord and Xbox accounts.
Step 5: Scanning the QR Code
After selecting the Discord option, your Xbox will generate a QR code. To complete the linking process, take your mobile device, open the camera app, and scan the QR code displayed on your Xbox screen. This will redirect you to Discord where you can complete the login process. Select “Yes, log me in” to proceed.
Step 6: Authorizing Xbox Account on Discord
Upon successfully logging into Discord on your mobile device, navigate to the authorization screen. You will see a prompt to authorize your Xbox account. Select “Authorize” to establish the connection between your Xbox and Discord.
Step 7: Discord on Your Mobile Device
Now that your accounts are linked, grab your mobile device and open the Discord app. Access your desired Discord channel and log into a voice channel of your choice. Once connected to the voice channel, scroll up to find a new option labeled “Transfer to Xbox”.
Step 8: Transferring Voice to Xbox
Select the “Transfer to Xbox” option, and your Xbox app will open on your mobile device. Choose your console from the available options and hit “Transfer Voice” to initiate the connection. You will now be connected to the voice channel on your Xbox.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can successfully use Discord with your Xbox and connect to the voice channel. It’s important to note that certain features, such as inviting everyone to a game, joining games, switching to game chat, party overlay view, and profile cards, are not accessible in the Discord voice channel. Additionally, keep in mind that Discord friends and Xbox friends are separate, and you cannot mix them in the same voice channel.
Finally, if you are a streamer, it’s crucial to know that Discord voice channel audio cannot be broadcasted through Xbox live streaming. If you want your friends’ voices to be heard on your live streams, consider using the Xbox party chat instead of the Discord chat.
We hope this step-by-step guide has helped you successfully connect Discord with your Xbox and enhance your gaming experience. Now, you can communicate with your friends seamlessly while enjoying your favorite games!
