Groove music playing on W10 to Xbox One while gaming

Krispy Kurek12 · Aug 10, 2016

I was able to play music from my account on Windows 10 and it would realize I was playing on my Xbox One and would play the music on there, with Groove music. It was amazing. Just played my local files on W10 with it playing while I was gaming on Xbox
One. Now for some reason this feature is gone. Same account, same network, my Xbox is even a connected device in Windows 10. I don't know if they were testing out some features because there are two different groove music apps on Xbox and only one works,
the other one says coming soon. I googled everything i could think of and even spoke with support and they were escalating the issue.

Unable to Stream music from Windows 10 PC to Xbox One

Streaming directly from your W10 pc isn't available for music you'll need to upload the music to your Onedrive. You will however need to use Groove Music as this is the only way that works.

Hello Krispy Kurek12!

I believe this is due to the readying of the Background Music rollout update. Currently this feature is still in Preview Program mode for the programs registered members. You said one version said "coming soon" in the store, this will be the version all
Xbox members will use after the rollout. This is also the case for Pandora.

I hope this helps you. Please get back to us if you have anymore questions.

With the new update you are able to play background music while playing a game but you have to snap an app like Pandora or groove music to be able to hear the music

Hey Krispy Kurek12 -

Groove Background Music is currently a feature being tested in the Xbox One Preview Program only. This is something that will be released to the public at a later date however we do not have further information regarding that.

Thanks for understanding!

Hi,

You can use SoundCloud or Groove to play music while playing a game.

Background music gives you some example of what apps can be used.

Hope this helps.
