The kinect is still the best device for Skype / Streaming given its microphones and panning & zoom on video. It gets a bad rap which I guess is what it deserves but it's not useless even now.

I actually would probably pick up a Kinect and give that a try right now, since I'm using videocalling tons (and the '480p FaceTime camera' built into my 2016 Macbook is insanely bad).
But no one I know uses Skype any more and the Xbox doesn't support anything else, which is a shame. I guess it never will since the Kinect was discontinued years ago.

A friend of mine was the lead developer on the Skype app for Xbox One...
It's actually great to use but nowadays with so much competition in the video conferencing space there's nothing else on the Xbox but again that makes sense of the peripheral is no longer widely supported.
One thing that annoys me is you can now actually use any web cam you like on Xbox One but you cannot use it's microphone and I don't understand why they've done that. I realise they don't have far field microphones like the kinect but they should still be able to function and not everyone has their TV 8 ft away from them across a room.
