I own more then 20 movies from the store and want to watch them on my phone at work while it is slow but it only let me watch the trailers is there something I am missing because doing a search only shows that you can use your phone to control the movies
on the One but says nothing about being able to watch them on the phone.

"Enhancements"

[quote user="Stevie77"]

I've seen people post that their "laptop does all those functions too, so why do they need a console that duplicates those functions", the way I look at it is if you want to game on your console - great, have at it! If you want to stream a movie - you have
choices, watch it on your phone or tablet when on the go, watch it on your computer/laptop when you don't want to monopolize the television, or stream it on your big screen TV for the whole family to enjoy. I like choices, choices are good.

I am one of those people who cannot watch a movie on anything besides a tv or projector. Watching on a tablet or smartphone hurts my eyes so much so does a laptop. The only good thing is you can take those things anywhere,

Smart glass thoughts??

yea..i put in on my android...and noticed it didn't do anything.... I think it may get an update with the xbox one. The only thing I used it for was to mess with my kids when I noticed they were watching a movie...I would just pause it with my phone. A
tablet with live would have been nice. I would have liked that with 360...something I can watch my marketplace purchases on the go with.

There is a way to do this. You need a vudu account and a Movies Anywhere account. You than use movies anywhere and link both you Microsoft account and Vudu account to this account. Most of you movies will than sync to Vudu ( Disney Movies might not).
You than use Vudu on your phone to watch the movies on your mobile device or other devices that support vudu.

I use these account this way. Buy using movies anywhere itunes will also sync.

All you need to do is connect your Microsoft account Movies Anywhere then you can watch your movies through Google Play, iTunes, Prime Video, FandangNow and Vudu. So which ever you prefer will work.

Hi Charles you can watch movies with the Microsoft Movies and TV app on your device. Also you can stream media by casting it to a device.

Hi again. I wish you could explain to me how to do this. My TV displays our cable on HDMI1. We have our Google Chromecast device connected to HDMI2. When we want to stream content from our phones or laptops, we switch the TV to HDMI2, and the streaming apps connect automatically. When I try to stream this Microsoft movie (Sorcerer, 1977) to the Chromecast on HDMI2, it says it can't connect. Likewise, just trying to cast it to the TV via HDMI1 does not connect, either. The only other ports available are InputAV1 and InputComponent, neither of which have a device connected, but the movie will not connect or cast to either of those. Please help me to be able to cast this movie from my Surface laptop to my Chromecast (in HDMI2 port on Samsung Smart TV). Also, is there any way I can access the movie on my Samsung S21 smart phone?

If you are using Microsoft Movies and TV it is not compatible with Chromecast as a workaround you can mirror your computer to your tv that should work, for Samsung smart phones I will recommend to contact their support site for more information, curently there is no app for android to watch them.

Hello Jockelmockel,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Did you rent this move, or was it the full purchase? please Note When you rent
a video from the Movies & TV Store, you can only watch it on the device for which it was rented (your console, computer, or Windows Phone).

If this was the full movie purchase, then it should pop up for you in the movies and tv app on windows. You can also try this : Watch
Anywhere, on Your Favorite Platforms

Hope this helps!
