You can also decide whether you want to capture the last few seconds or prepare recording for the next few seconds.

All captures now sync with the Xbox app, too, so you can send them to other apps and networks, but they're also stored on the console, too.

Simply head into the app store and grab the Twitch app, and then sign in with your account details.

Then hit "Start Streaming" to go live, and then navigate to the game you want to stream.

To stop broadcasting, go back to the Twitch app and hit "Stop Streaming".
