In their blog post announcement, Xbox also recommended Xbox Insider users to join their Reddit community, where they can help with bugs, get support for newly implemented features, and in this case, make a better Xbox-Discord connectivity for the future. It’s great to see this much-asked-for feature coming to Microsoft’s gaming platform. Not being able to stream playthroughs on your Xbox to your Discord friends is finally a thing of the past.
