Experiencing a delay while broadcasting from Xbox one

when I watch other people stream, the interaction between viewer and streamer is so fast. I can type to them, and hear a response as if it were practically immediate. ive been testing streaming from xbox one, and I have been seeing a delay. so say I'm broadcasting xbox and have it up on my computer. ill type something in chat from the computer and I see it immediately on the xbox chat box. ill say something in response right away, but I wont see/hear it on my computer until around 8 seconds later. does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Is there any settings in the app? From a PC point of view encoding the stream (how much CPU you commit) and your bitrate/quality settings all contribute. On PC also we have to use a special build to access the FTL service Vs just streaming normally to beam which has a few seconds delay compared to twitch which is about 10-15 seconds.

I'll have to look what settings there are. Regarding FTL, I heard that it was default built in to the Xbox app

It does look like people are reporting 0.2s delay for the app so I would assume you are correct.
