* For the Xbox One Kinect, you will also need a PC adapter (like this one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JHJM9FG/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o01\_s00?ie=UTF8\&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JHJM9FG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8\&psc=1)) One end plugs into the Kinect, another into a wall outlet, and another into a 3.0 USB port.

***The Xbox 360 Kinect is not compatible with LIV!***

3. Install the Kinect SDK, then go back to the kinectruntime -x64.msi file in the runtime folder (might look a little different depending on your system) and install that as well.

   Your Kinect should now be recognized by your computer, then you can select it as a camera option in LIV.

   To use the auto background removal feature, move out of view of the camera frame (and remove anything that won’t be there during your recording/stream!), make sure you check the enable background removal box, then click the capture background button, and save.
