## Remarks

<Note>This function isn't safe to call on a time-sensitive thread. For more information, see [Time-sensitive threads](https://learn.microsoft.com/gaming/gdk/docs/gdk-dev/console-dev/overviews/threads/time-sensitive-threads).</Note>

This function does not start a broadcast on its own, it merely shows the User the UI that they would need to navigate in order to begin a broadcast.\
You can verify that a broadcast was started by the occurrence of a broadcast status change event or by checking the broadcast status with [XAppBroadcastIsAppBroadcasting](/reference/system/xappcapture/functions/xappbroadcastisappbroadcasting). Before calling this function you should also call [XAppBroadcastGetStatus](/reference/system/xappcapture/functions/xappbroadcastgetstatus) to check whether or not a user is capable of starting a broadcast.
