Move towards the Linked Social Accounts option.Head to the upper left-hand corner of the main menu.Once you do, here are the steps you need to follow: It can be useful for playing cross-platform games while allowing PC users to keep their push-to-talk, or for bringing discord music bots into an Xbox party, or just talking with friends while playing on different platforms.For this step, you’ll need to head towards your Xbox One. Latency from an Xbox player to an Xbox player or a Discord user to a Discord user is unaffected. The latency just becomes the total of Xbox + Discord latencies. This probably introduces a bit of latency for people talking across the bridge, but in our experience it’s not noticeably worse than a normal Xbox party. The same process works in reverse from Discord to Xbox using the other virtual cable. To your friends on Discord, all the Xbox party audio will come through your spare Discord account (this is why I’d name it something like "Xbox Party Chat"). When someone talks in the Xbox party, your Xbox app will play the sound out through Virtual Cable A, which your Discord app hears as the microphone. It’s like holding two phones up to each other upside-down. The VB-Audio virtual cables act as virtual sound devices, so the output sound (speaker) of one app can become the input sound (mic) of another. But if you want, you could also just leave the two accounts running so anyone could join the bridged chat at any time. Once that’s all configured, any time you want to bridge a Discord Channel with an Xbox Party, you just need to repeat step 6 - open each app and join the party/channel you want to bridge together. Join an Xbox party and a Discord channel in each app, and those two voice chats are now bridged. Output device: “CABLE-B Input (VB-Audio Cable B)” Input device: “CABLE-A Output (VB-Audio Cable A)” Open the Discord app, go to settings, and open Voice & Video. Microphone: “CABLE-B Input (VB-Audio Cable B)” Speaker: “CABLE-A Input (VB-Audio Cable A)” Open the Xbox app, go to settings, and scroll down to the Party section. Run each installer as Admin and restart your computer. There’s a free option, but it only gives you one virtual cable. Same deal, I’d call it “Discord Chat” or something.īuy and download the VB-Audio Virtual Cables A+B set. I recommend calling it something like “Xbox Party Chat”ĭownload/open the Xbox Console Companion App and create a spare account. Download/open the Discord App and create a spare account.
