Windows 10: Mixer (Windows 10 game bar): Broadcasting isn't working. Something went wrong. Try...

Hello,


I am using a Windows 10 PC and the native Xbox Game Bar to broadcast via Mixer. I was streaming on Tuesday (3 days ago), no problem. Today, when I try to enable broadcast via the Game Bar, the Mixer configure shows up for about 2 seconds, then closes and I get the error message "Broadcasting isn't working. Something went wrong. Try broadcasting again later."


Unfortunately, that error doesn't tell me if it's an issue on my end or Mixer's end.


Background apps ARE on so that's not the problem. I've rebooted multiple times, tried repairing and then resetting (and reinstalling) the Xbox Game Bar, nothing has fixed this.


The only change I made within the 3 day timeframe was an ipconfig /flushdns.


Does anyone know what the issue might be?

:)

Hi CV Scaryseizure,

Thank you for bringing this up. Let's try to isolate this issue so that we could figure out what causing the Mixer Broadcast not to work properly. Kindly provide us the following information below:

• Can you tell us when did you notice this issue?
• Do you use the Mixer Broadcasting app on Windows 10?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

In the meantime, I recommend that you sign out your account on the Mixer app then sign in again. If you still got the same issue, I suggest that you also reinstall the app to eliminate corrupted files.

We look forward to your reply.

 

Mixer never shows broadcast setup or starts broadcasting on Windows 10

Hello all,

I am trying to broadcast from Mixer on Windows 10, and whenever I open game bar and then set to broadcast, the mixer app briefly shows up, then closes. I never see the option to change my streaming settings, and I have logged into Xbox, and everything should
work.

Is there something I'm missing?
