对USB 摄像头的支持是为(USB camera)Xbox One引入的最大功能之一。它现在允许您将Skype与您最喜欢的网络摄像头一起使用，并在使用Mixer时上线。我们将在本指南中讨论一些限制。
您应该知道添加网络摄像头(Webcam)支持并不奇怪。Kinect的结局很糟糕，从没有专门的Kinect端口的(Kinect)Xbox One S开始，后来完全停止了生产。微软(Microsoft)有必要开放对包括网络摄像头(Webcam)在内的外部配件的支持。
将 USB 网络摄像头与 Xbox One 配合使用
安装网络摄像头非常简单。您只需要插入网络摄像头，它就会在后台自动进行设置，并且不会询问任何内容。您甚至没有收到有关它的通知，这很烦人。我有一个罗技网络摄像头 C930e(Logitech Webcam C930e)。
在Xbox One(Xbox One – Skype)中使用网络摄像头有两种用途——Skype和Mixer。
如何在Skype(Skype) for Xbox One上设置网络摄像头
我假设您已经在 Xbox One 上安装了Skype 。如果您还没有这样做，请打开Store，搜索并安装。这是一个简单的过程。完成后，使用您的Microsoft(Microsoft)帐户登录，即可使用。
Xbox One和Skype上的网络摄像头(Webcam)的问题在于它不会自动选择网络摄像头进行视频会议。您需要使用Skype 设置进行设置(Skype Settings)。完成后，您还可以使用网络摄像头上的麦克风。(Once)
- 在 Xbox One 上启动 Skype。
- 按控制器上的菜单按钮(menu button on your controller)打开 Skype 菜单。
- 向下滚动，然后选择设置(Settings)。
- 音频和视频(Audio & Video)是您应该在那里看到的第一件事。
- 在Video下，选择已选择Default device的下拉菜单
- 在此处选择您的网络摄像头。
- 接下来，使用测试视频， (Test Video, )看看输出的样子。您还可以选择切换选项，例如自动调整相机变焦(Automatically adjust camera zoom)和始终在通话之间重置手动变焦(Always reset manual zoom between calls)
- 为确保音频工作正常，您可以使用测试音频(Test Audio)选项。
管理音频和摄像头的权限：(Managing Permissions for Audio and Camera:)
就像Windows 10一样，Xbox One有一个专门的部分，您可以在其中允许或拒绝使用系统资源的应用程序。在这种情况下，您需要确保授予Skype使用Microphone和Camera的权限。如果您没有看到按预期工作，在设置部分您有两个选项
打开这些，您应该会看到可以使用它们的应用程序列表。确保在此处选择Skype。您还有一个全局选项，可用于禁用所有应用程序的摄像头或麦克风选项。
注意：要测试麦克风，您可以随时使用联系人列表中的(Contact)Skype Bot进行语音通话。它允许您录制一条消息，然后将其回放给您。
如何使用带有Mixer for Xbox One的网络摄像头(Xbox One)
混音器是一个在线流媒体平台，可让您将游戏与视频和音频一起流式传输。好消息是您可以使用您的网络摄像头(Webcam)视频。第一次设置广播时，您必须进行设置。
- 按(Press)控制器上的Xbox按钮打开“指南”(Guide)菜单。
- 使用右侧保险杠导航到广播和捕获(Broadcast & capture)选项卡。
- 选择广播(Broadcast)以打开您的广播选项。
- 启用标有打开相机(Turn on Camera)的开关。
- 我的麦克风默认是打开的，没有办法禁用它。
- 另外，转到高级设置(Advance Settings)并打开(Turn)麦克风(Mic)。您还可以在此处设置麦克风(Mic)音量。
发布此消息后，您将能够设置选项以在流式传输时更改摄像机视频预览和缩放的位置。使用广播中的 更改相机设置(Change camera settings)。
有两种方法可以测试您的网络摄像头上的麦克风(Microphone)是否正常工作。首先(First)，发布开始广播，您将有一个小的聊天窗口。在那里寻找麦克风(Microphone)图标。如果它没有像符号一样的“ Stop ”，则表示它已启用。(Stop)
其次，在另一台计算机上打开您的广播(Broadcast)，让某人坐在Xbox前，并请该人发言。你应该能够听到他或她的声音。
故障排除提示：(Troubleshooting Tip:)
如果您的 Xbox One 与您的家人共享，您必须确保您已允许在隐私和在线安全(Privacy & online safety)> Xbox Live 隐私(Xbox Live privacy)>查看详细信息和自定义(View details & customize)>游戏内容中与(Game content)Kinect或其他相机共享内容。如果您不启用此功能，并且您有家庭成员登录控制台，您将无法使用它。每次使用此功能时，您要么给予许可，要么将其注销。
微软(Microsoft)最初推出此功能时，不支持网络摄像头音频(Webcam Audio)。消费者不得不依靠耳机和外部麦克风来完成这项工作。微软(Microsoft)确实谈到了这一点，他们当时认为，由于网络摄像头(Webcams)不提供语音消除功能，如Kinect，他们不支持它。现在，麦克风(Microphone)在流媒体和Skype通话期间都可以使用。请注意(Notice)，麦克风(Microphone)的切换(Toggle)已打开。
也就是说，网络摄像头麦克风(Webcam Microphone)仍然无法在Xbox One的任何地方使用，尤其是在非常烦人的聚会聊天中。您必须使用带有Elite 控制器(Elite Controller)的外部麦克风才能解决此问题。
How to use Webcam on Xbox One for Video or with Microphone
Suрport for USB camera was one of the biggest features that were introduced for Xbox One. It now allows you to use Skype with your favorite webcam, and also go live when using Mixer. There is a bit of limitation as well that we will discuss in this guide.
You should know that adding Webcam support wasn’t surprising. Kinect came to a bad end, starting with Xbox One S where there was no dedicated port for Kinect, and later the production was completely stopped. It became necessary for Microsoft to open support for external accessories including Webcam.
Using a USB webcam with Xbox One
Installing a webcam is rather dead-simple. All you need to is plug in your webcam, and it will automatically do the setup in the background, and not ask anything. You don’t even get a notification about it, which is rather annoying. I have a Logitech Webcam C930e.
There are two situations where using a webcam is useful in Xbox One – Skype & Mixer.
How to set up a webcam on Skype for Xbox One
I am assuming you already have Skype installed on your Xbox One. In case you haven’t done so, open the Store, search, and install. It’s an easy process. Once done, sign-in with your Microsoft account, and it will be ready for you.
The problem with Webcam on Xbox One and Skype is that it doesn’t select the webcam automatically for video conferencing. You will need to set up using the Skype Settings. Once done, you can also use the microphone on the webcam.
- Launch Skype on your Xbox One.
- Press the menu button on your controller to open the Skype Menu.
- Scroll down, and select Settings.
- Audio & Video is the first thing you should see there.
- Under Video, select the drop-down which has Default device selected
- Select your webcam here.
- Next, Use the Test Video, to see how the output looks like. You will also have the option to toggle options like Automatically adjust camera zoom, and Always reset manual zoom between calls
- To make sure the audio is working fine, you can use the Test Audio option.
Managing Permissions for Audio and Camera:
Just like Windows 10, Xbox One has a dedicated section where you can allow or deny apps using system resources. In this case, you need to make sure to give Skype permission to use both Microphone and Camera. In case you don’t see things working as expected, in the settings section you have two options
- Change camera permissions.
- Change microphone permissions.
Open these, and you should see a list of apps that can use them. Make sure Skype is selected here. You also have a global option that you can use to disable the camera or microphone option for all apps.
Note: To test the microphone, you can always use the Skype Bot on your Contact list to make a voice call. It allows you to record a message and then plays it back to you.
How to use a webcam with Mixer for Xbox One
The mixer is an online streaming platform that allows you to stream your games along with your video, and audio. The good news is that you can use your Webcam video for the same. You will have to set this up for the first time when setting up the broadcast.
- Press the Xbox button on the controller to open the Guide menu.
- Use the right bumper to navigate to the Broadcast & capture tab.
- Select Broadcast to open your broadcasting options.
- Enable the switch labeled Turn on Camera.
- The microphone was turned on by default for me, and there is no way to disable it.
- Also, go to Advance Settings and Turn on Mic. You can also set the Mic volume level here.
Post this, you will be able to setup options to change the position of camera video preview and zoom when streaming. Use the Change camera settings in the broadcast.
There are two ways to test if your Microphone on webcam is working. First, post starting the broadcast, you will have a small chat window. Look for a Microphone icon there. If it doesn’t have a “Stop” like a symbol, it means its enabled.
Second, open your Broadcast on a different computer, and make somebody sit before Xbox, and ask the person to speak. You should be able to hear his or her voice.
Troubleshooting Tip:
In case your Xbox One is shared with your family, you will have to make sure you’ve allowed sharing content with Kinect or another camera in Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy > View details & customize > Game content. If you do not enable this, and you have family member signed in the console, you won’t be able to use it. Either you give permission or you sign them out every time you use this feature.
When Microsoft initially rolled out this feature, there was no support for Webcam Audio. Consumers had to rely on headsets and external microphones to get this done. Microsoft did talk about this, and they believed then that since Webcams don’t offer voice cancellation, like Kinect, they didn’t support it. Now Microphone works both during streaming, and Skype calls. Notice the Toggle for Microphone is on.
That said, Webcam Microphone still doesn’t work anywhere in Xbox One, especially in party chat which is very very annoying. You will have to use an external microphone with an Elite Controller to get this resolved.
