Are you a console streamer looking to broadcast your gameplay on both Twitch and YouTube at the same time? Now, with Streamlabs Console, you can multistream directly from your Xbox—no capture card or PC required!
This means you can grow your audience across multiple platforms with minimal setup. Ready to go live? Here's how to set it up.
Setting Up Your Stream on Streamlabs Console
Before you go live, you’ll want to customize your stream’s appearance using a phone, tablet, or laptop.
Step 1: Head to Streamlabs Console and log in with your credentials either from your desktop or mobile device.
Step 2: From your platform settings, link your Twitch and YouTube accounts, and make sure to toggle on YouTube as a stream output.
Note: You cannot stream to YouTube by itself with Streamlabs Console, as YouTube is only available as a destination when multistreaming alongside Twitch.
If this is your first-time live streaming on YouTube, the platform requires a verification that may take up to 24 hours. While you may connect your profile to Streamlabs Console, you may not be able to multistream to YouTube until the verification process is complete.
Step 3: From your Streamlabs Console homepage, you can also configure how you want your stream to look by arranging components such as alert boxes, images, text, and more alongside your game capture by editing your scenes.
Be sure to do this before starting your game and live stream.
Connecting Your Xbox to Twitch
Once your stream setup is ready, it’s time to connect your Xbox to Twitch and route it through Streamlabs Console.
Step 1: Start the game you want to play and stream on your Xbox.
Step 2: Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the left-hand navigation menu.
Step 3: Scroll to the right until you reach the Capture & Share menu. Next, scroll down to Live streaming.
Step 4: Log into your Twitch account using the available options.

Step 5: Once authenticated, you will see a menu where you can scroll to More Options.
Step 6: Click More options, and for the Destination, select Streamlabs. You can also adjust other stream output and audio settings from this menu.
Step 7: Scroll to Stream Name to edit the name of your stream.
Step 8: Scroll down and click Go Live now to start your stream. Now, your live stream will stream to both Twitch and YouTube.
Note: YouTube requires verification for live streaming, which may take up to 24 hours. If you receive an error message when attempting to multistream via Streamlabs Console via Twitch, this may be the reason.
Once your stream starts, the menu items update to include Stop live stream and Pause live stream. Use these options as needed throughout your live stream. You can also navigate back to your game and control Streamlabs Console scenes via Streamlabs Console on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
And that’s how you can multistream to Twitch and YouTube on your Xbox using Streamlabs Console. Happy Streaming!
