you everyone welcome to today's episode of ask the experts me and Jeff Bakalar here from cnet well I guess I'm from gamespot we're working together we're going to answer your questions about next-gen consoles playstation 4 and the Xbox one we're going to start today question from Nico who wants to know how does twitch TV streaming work on the Xbox one should have done that in the grand theft auto four boys this is my cousin I tell you about neko miko thank you for asking that question all the way from liberty city right there okay so here's the the deal with streaming to twitch on Xbox one there is no deal right now you just can't do it yeah and out of the gate you can only stream live broadcast content gameplay to PlayStation 4 which offers Ustream and twitch TV that functionality is coming to Xbox one but right now correct me if I'm wrong you can only watch twitch content on your xbox yeah it's just a one-way street you can watch the content microsoft has said that they hope to bring twitch TV streaming support you know broadcasting your gameplay in the first part of 2014 which is really vague and the reason behind that is that they want to have the app at the level of expectations of the twitch audience the level that Sony was able to do well Sony's this out of the bah Sony's is pretty good it I think it's really it is yeah it's very easy to do once you put your account in it's as simple as like two or three steps one of the more popular features for Twitter which has traditionally been used on PCs is the ability to archive streams and access emulator right but for the PlayStation 4 even though you can stream right to twitch you can't archive your streams sony has gone on the record is saying that that's something that they want to add in the future but a lot of this stuff is going to change what's really cool is you can you sort of have control especially on ps4 you can change the way the share button works when we talk about like screen grabs right now Xbox there really is no option is no way to get screenshots at all which is a game footage but right kind of crazy right that doesn't that seem like way more simple than actual footage anyway nevertheless you can grab a screen grab from any PlayStation 4 game you play and you could even bind and choose the binding to one of the buttons so if you want the share button to double click and have that be the screen grab button that little hot key you can set it up that way so that's really cool you have that sort of customization option available to you which is pretty red from the xbox one anything you captured this video goes to your SkyDrive you then have to go on your PC grab the video off there and upload it to Facebook or YouTube or wherever if you have more options because way more hoops to jump through to get to that point how about how long does it allow you to grab you can grab up to five minutes and the system automatically records the last five so we can jump in to upload studio and we need to leave that footage if you just say Xbox upload that it'll grab the last 30 seconds and upload it to your SkyDrive immediate also a good thing to point out is that xbox one will actually for example rise will actually record certain achievements that you do right it does it choose a you know sort of like a unique experience to that console our next question is from Tucker he lives in facebook land and he wants to know if xbox one will record your game party chat oh no right you got to get away for the whole thing okay your game party chat so let's say you're with a bunch of buddies you're playing ghosts you're on the same sort of part each area when you record gameplay footage with the DVR will it also grab your check no still still no oh that sucks yeah then what you can do right now actually with the video that you have recorded on the xbox one taking an upload studio you can edit it a little bit and you can add narration there or you can also do picture and picture using the Kinect camera which may be some of the stuff they're integrating the twitch streaming down the road and it's kind of cool because you know while it's great to do live commentary we look like that sometimes you want to gather your thoughts a little bit you won't have a more I have a higher production value of your game DVR if you will you could do it after the fact which works out I had a great presentation for Microsoft where they were showing us how you added the picture-in-picture narration so he reacts playing it oh the recorded footage in the screen don't do that well do it if you want but we all know what you're doing right don't we just don't do that Jeff that does it for today's episode of ask the experts we're curious to see where all the streaming is going to go in the future nice you're pretty important join us again for more episodes this week and next we answer your questions about next-gen consoles I'm Peter Brown from gamespot I'm Jeff
