Can we get the Xbox App’s Remote Control to let us browse the Edge Browser with it?

Yes, you can remotely control your PC (on a local network) from the Wireless Display app provided you have ticked the box on the PC to allow input.

The limitation is that you can only control remotely using an Xbox One controller or the Xbox One media remote. If you have a chatpad attached to the controller (or other accessories) they won't work either. While the console itself supports mouse and keyboard,
the app is not updated to use these peripherals at this stage (very much like the case of Edge browser).

So clarification - yes you can, but only with a controller.

The features provided are different based on which app you’re using. If you launch the Edge browser, you’ll see a bar with “Microsoft Edge” at the bottom of the screen. You can then tap the remote icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen and you’ll
get an interface that provides buttons for swiping and tapping to control the app, as well as an on-smartphone keyboard when you select a text field.

Oh. We had a confusion earlier. I thought that was a remote play. So you're referring to the Cloud gaming not the remote play, correct?

If it's a cloud gaming, you have to use the Xbox Game Pass app. If you experience the issue on the app, try to simply reinstall it.

You could try to access the cloud gaming using a Google Chrome browser or Microsoft Edge browser via xbox.com/play website.

Hi SoraSoarzz, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

I couldn't tell you, remember that in this forum we are only gamers like you, we are not Microsoft employees so giving you an answer may be a bit complicated for us but we can assume that the dragging option is not available in Edge on The Xbox console is due because the console's user interface is designed to be controlled with a remote control. The remote does not have a left-click button, which is the button used for dragging on a PC.

And Edge on the Xbox console is a Chromium-based browser, which is the same engine used in Google Chrome. Chrome is a very powerful and efficient browser for PC, but it may not have been updated enough yet to work well on the Xbox console.

Although I suppose that in the future these details will improve and things may be able to be dragged better in the console.

Best regards
Jhon

Hello!

Thank you thats not a bad idea ha I was just tempted by the remote for small size and just cause I would use the keyboard mostly for browsing (netflix, Microsoft Edge Browser, Xbox live etc). I do see the advantages if the chat pad too tho. All in one and
the browser is easier to navigate with the stick. lol.
