Can’t stream from my home console on xcloud. It’s 1 metre away from me.

...

It could be that Microsoft could be about to make us pay for a feature previously allowed for FREE!!...

You are confusing the xCloud service with streaming locally.

Xcloud allows you to stream games you do NOT own to your console. You basically "rent" access to the games which run on server hardware somewhere in the cloud, and stream the video feed to any device that supports xCloud. Be it your home console, your tablet,
smartphone or whatever. It's like Google's Stadia or what Sony does to bring backward compatibility to some Playstation games.

This is vastly different to the home streaming that allows you to stream the video feed from your console that plays the games you "own" to a device that supports local streaming.

Unless you are trying to allow thousands of people to access your own console from the internet to stream your games to them, you are not doing anything similar to xCloud.

So don't make up some crazy conspiration theory like "Microsoft is taking away our streaming, so we have to pay to use xCloud"

I'm confused about this

So what seems to be the consensus here is that Remote Play is identical to Xcloud so if a game is not on xcloud, then it cannot be streamed from the console?

I was under the impression that you could start a game on your console, open the Xbox App on your PC and then stream the game directly across your home network. As it's being streamed from the console, it doesn't need installing on PC therefore wouldn't matter if there was a PC version or not?

Seems my knowledge of consoles is woefully inadequate.

Yes but you are forgetting the most important part

These faq doesnt cover PERKS

xcloud is only a associated with the subscriber this is due to the home console being on a console

Until the family plan comes out perks are not sharable including xcloud

Right now your son cannot ROAM away from your machine this includes xcloud

Everything else is operating as desired Mr Cizl. I've even held the remote 1 metre away from the front of the Xbox One and still no luck. All was working fine before the newest console update

same issue.

Are you talking about console streaming? Because my XCloud service works great. Played Gears 5 yesterday with no issues. However I want to play my own games on my device while I'm away from the XB1.

XB1S here.
