    How do I stop people in my house from Casting their videos to my Xbox when I don't want...


    So everytime I play games at least once a day I get booted off of the game from someone in my house who presses the wrong thing (either accidentally or on purpose) when casting their YouTube videos to their TV's or Xbox. I have tried looking everywhere for a setting or option to disable the chromecast feature on my Xbox YouTube App so that neither I or anyone in my house can connect when I don't want them to. But there doesn't seem to be anything apart from uninstalling the whole App. There's gotta be a setting somewhere right?

    :)

    How do I stop people in my house from Casting their videos to my Xbox when I don't want them to?

    I appreciate the response. Try this workaround:

    Open the guide

    Go right the gear icon and select on the "Settings" option

    Select "Devices and Streaming"

    Select "Device Connections"

    Switch option to "Don't allow the Xbox App to connect"

    I did that but it still doesn't work. Phones are still able to connect to my Xbox and play whatever video is on it

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! My name is Christian, an independent advisor. I'm here to help you out.

    Have you tried this? Go to settings, then PREFERENCES, then go to XBOX APP CONNECTIVITY, you can either change it from "Allow from any device" to "Only from profiles signed in on this xbox request" or on the right you can just uncheck the two boxes on the right.

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Christian.
    I did that but it didn't work, I had gone on my phone while I had a game loaded up to see if it would still load up YouTube and it did

    how do I stop people I don't know from using my account on their Xbox?

    Make sure the new password you set is considered to be a "strong" password. There's a wide range of articles that describe how to setup a strong password.

    If you haven't already, I would recommend that you Setup two step authentication for your account. Not only is your account protected with a password (first line in defence), but also with a security code, unique for each new session, or trusted on a known
    device for a certain timestamp.
