Streaming from my X-Box?

Post » Sat Sep 21, 2013 1:23 am

just curious, if its possible to stream from my xbox to pc some how. I wanted to start a live stream for my new RP character i started, I usually stick to argonians but i decided to make a khajiit that looks like my kitten i just adopted: Gandalf the Gold (i know, tell me about how awesome my cats name is). He's an extremely evil character with a class I've called "necro-scavanger". Basically, lots of crime, sneaking, clawing, looting and summoning the dead. I made this huge long back story to him and how he ended up in skyrim, maybe i'll post that later.

anyway, any help on how to start a livestream from my xbox, would be awesome.

Thanks, Luke

I have never used one myself, but basically you install it into a spare slot on your PCs Motherboard, then plug your XBox into the HDMI slot on the card, open up a program (likely included with the card), to which you begin to stream that window...

how much it costs depends on the desired quality...

I looked at the simpler ones, one that the video wouldn't be the best, just to take pictures. It ended up around $100 US, now that's with a so/so low end picture/video capture card and all the connectors, wires and another surge protector/ electric strip. Now that was at Best Buy, as I had gift cards for their I was going to use. The kid their tried to sell me a more expensive C.C. for about $90, that had alot better video. That was 2 yr's ago, they probably have went down and you could find them cheaper on the net anyway. I never did get it, bought my hubby a new phone instead.

U-tube has quiet a few how to video's.

thanks i might check out the how to videos. It's just something i'd be interested in doing if i can save up the money.

Skyrim's fun, but when i do something really cool and great, im like "YEAH THAT WAS [censored]*N' AWESOME! DID YOU SEE THAT!!" *turns around* " :unsure2: ..."
