Windows 10: Broadcasting with the Xbox Game Bar

So I tried streaming to Mixer with the Xbox Game Bar but it has been removed, I've found this really inconvenient since that was my only way of streaming and I want to get back into it. I am aware of other ways to do so but most streaming platforms require mobile phone numbers, which I don't have. Could I know why this feature was removed and if possible, can it return?

Built-in Windows 10 / Xbox Game Bar broadcasting not working

I've used many hours to get the native Windows 10 / Xbox Game Bar to start broadcasting on Mixer to no avail. Whatever I do, I get the same error message: "Something went wrong. Try broadcasting again later."

Before I got to this point, I wasn't even able to get the "sign in" buttons working in Xbox Game Bar's settings. Luckily, I was able to fix the issue by downloading the Xbox app from Microsoft Store. After that I was able to use the buttons and sign in to Mixer using Xbox Game Bar. I wonder, are there more dependencies I might be missing?

Any ideas?

You can check if the Broadcast option is enabled under Settings. To do so, follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Click on the Settings icon from the start menu.
   
2. Click on Gaming > Click on
   Game bar.
3. In the right pane, turn on the slider under “Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar”.
