Using Teams on Xbox One with Kinect
Hi together, is there a way to use Teams on an Xbox One that has a Kinect? Would be great to use it in a conference room. Thanks for hints
- Hi kdbdesign
There are multiple uservoices open for Teams support on the Xbox including this one
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38703109-teams-for-xbox-for-office-use
Would recommend you vote on it to push it up the agenda. If this isn't exactly what you want then open up a new uservoice and get people to vote on it
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris
Using Microsoft Teams on an Xbox One with a Kinect for a conference room setting is an interesting idea, but it requires a bit of creativity since there isn't a direct application for Microsoft Teams on Xbox. Here are a few ways you could potentially achieve this setup:
Option 1: Use the Microsoft Edge Browser on Xbox One
As of now, Microsoft Teams doesn't have a dedicated app for Xbox One, but you can use the web version of Teams through the Microsoft Edge browser available on Xbox. Here's how to do it:
Open Microsoft Edge on your Xbox One. This browser is built into the console.
Navigate to the Microsoft Teams web app. Go to https://teams.microsoft.com.
Log in with your Teams account credentials. You may need to use the Xbox controller or connect a keyboard to the Xbox for easier typing.
Set up your Kinect as the webcam and microphone. Kinect should automatically be recognized as both a camera and a microphone on the Xbox.
