## Remarks

Before you call this function, you can call [XGameStreamingGetServerLocationNameSize](/reference/system/xgamestreaming/functions/xgamestreaminggetserverlocationnamesize) to get the size of the server location name so that you can allocate a buffer.

You can utilize the Azure Region if the game wants to connect to a game server that is hosted on Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers, and wants a minimium latency with its game server.

The error of `E_GAMESTREAMING_NO_DATACENTER` can occur when a player is using Console Streaming to stream the game from their home XBOX.  This error can also occur on an XBOX Developer Kit if you have not set an override value.

On an XBOX Developer Kit, you can set the `serverLocationName` that should be returned during testing, in the **Streaming** tab of the **Developer Home**.
