get "TV in" video started without a mic

This is a setup type of question. I am new to xbox one so hopefully this will be simple. I have two displays for my computer, and i have the HDMI cable for one running into the "TV in" port in the back of the xbox and then have the xbox hdmi out hooked up
to one of the monitors. I went through the setup to recognize the output of the computer and it showed my computer background in the xbox setup screen.

I would like to be able to show this screen without having a mic connected. I see a lot of voice commands to start it but my mic isn't always connected and i dont have a kinnect. Actually, ideally i would like it to start by default so that I can just hit
the xbox power button and my display will come up.

Head phones.

They are just headphones without a mic.

As you won't be chatting you could either plug directly in to your TV to listen tot he game sound, or purchase the chat adapter and plug in to that. Going directly via the TV will save you buying anything else.

You won't get any chat though unless you get a headset that has a mic.

 

will xbox one s work without a hdmi sat/cable, can get video without but no sound

will xbox one s work without a hdmi sat/cable, can get video without but no sound.

Previous xbox 360 worked with normal hdmi between xbox and tv.

 

I found the app to start if, but for some reason I had to set it up again, but now its working! Maybe i didnt get through the whole setup because at the end it asked me if i wanted to turn on tv when the xbox turns on which is also what i wanted.

 

Glad to hear you got it working!
