    How to control Xbox using laptop?


    I used to use the xbox companion app as a remote control because turning on my controller wastes the battery. The option to do that doesn't seem to be available on the new app. Remote play just puts it on my laptop screen rather than just letting me control things.

    :)

    As you been told already it's been discontinued

    Period

    Use miracast or do what everyone does use a controller

    Miracast.does what you want and not.limited to one device

    You can stream to.any device e even

    Why use out of date protocols

    What you are trying tO do is outdated and not.what it is meant for its for game .streaming

    You. Can even screen mirror.and you wouldn't.have codec

    As standard change so.do.the protocols

    Miracast.and dlna. support. more devices not.to.mention don't have the developer limitation since its dependent on the actual device even wifi direct has.better protccols why do you think media Center is gone

    There os.kinda just not.worth it

    You are.better off.with the controller

    What you.are talking about is in the Xbox app.just.not.the way you are trying to.do

    Touch screen is.supported only on cloud games

    And what you want to.do keyboard is only supported via installed.games on your laptop

    No, I use my xbox for streaming services and I want to be able to use my laptop as a controller to skip to next episode/rewind/select show etc. Used to be able to do this on the companion app but that's being shut down, and the option to do so on the new app isn't there.

    But you CAN do it on console companion. That's the issue, console companion is being shut down and the replacement doesn't do the same job. It's not screen replication as all that would be on my laptop screen is the controller, not a mirror of the screen.
