You can now join an Xbox party chat using an Android device.
This tutorial hopefully helps many people out! Subscribe Here to join #RegenNation: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF8DtEm0BtsRKeg4oWk8vsQ/featured?subco. If you want to join an Xbox party and chat with everyone in that chat, open the social widget from the Xbox Game Bar, right-click a friend that's in the party you want to join, and select Join Party. If you hear everyone else in your party echo when in party chat, it is likely due to the Xbox One being set to output party chat audio to both speakers and the headset at the same time. To change this setting: Press the Xbox button to open the guide. Select Settings. Select General; Select Volume & audio output; Select Party chat output; Select.
First up you'll need the Xbox Beta app, which Microsoft uses to test 'new capabilities'.
There's no word on when this will roll out to the standard Xbox smartphone app, which is also available for iPhone.
The idea behind it makes perfect sense, though. There are plenty of Microsoft games for smartphones - not least Minecraft, which offers cross-platform play between Android, iPhone, Windows and Xbox One. Why shouldn't people playing together from a mobile device be able to party chat at the same time?
And, even if you're playing on an Xbox, it might be useful to chat via your phone using a headset which might otherwise not work with your console.
Let's hope it works a little better than Nintendo's Switch smartphone app did when it arrived.
