Mixer and Xbox Live

This page is meant to provide useful information to those working with Mixer and Xbox Live.

Using Xbox Test accounts with Mixer

To test with accounts from your sandbox, you can add this query parameter: “sandbox=” to the URL. For instance: https://mixer.com/?sandbox=XDKS.1

IMPORTANT: Sandbox IDs are case sensitive! Note: the uppercase in "XDKS.1". "xdks.1" will not work!

This will allow you to log into Mixer with your Xbox Live test accounts.

To log in:

  1. Click the Login button in the upper, right.
  2. In the dialog, click the Log in with your Microsoft account button.
  3. This will show a second dialog where you can enter your credentials for your Xbox Live test account.

If you encounter this error message "There was an error logging you in: Content isolation not authorized." make sure you are not logged into Mixer in another tab or browser with a non-sandbox account. The easiest way to get around this is to open an in-private browser session.

Broadcasting from your DevKit

Note that you don't need to broadcast to test interactive. Interactive controls and video are two independent features. But you can broadcast if you want.

If you're broadcasting from your DevKit you'll be automatically placed in Test Stream mode. You want to make sure that your game has a Title ID and Service Configuration ID. If it doesn't, broadcasting won't work.

Certification

There are no certification requirements for Mixer. Mixer functionality will not be tested during certification.
