    How to get controller to work on Xbox series X while using wireless display app to connect...


    I’m trying to play pc games on my living room tv.

    I have the xbox series x with the wireless display app and I’m able to cast my pc screen to the xbox fine.

    But the xbox controller doesn’t control the input. Making the pc essentially a fancy background wallpaper.

    I have checked the box for ‘allow mouse, keyboard, touch and pen input from this device.

    I have pressed the view and menu buttons to switch between controller and mouse+keyboard but neither lets me use the controller for anything else

    :)

    Hi MyNameIsMatt! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    Of what you are using is a wireless display app, you won't be able to control the Xbox trough the tv, if your Tv supports android apps you should install the Xbox app, this will allow you to play remotely or while using wireless display the controller must be connected to the Xbox not the TV

    So I’m not trying to use the Xbox through my tv. I’m trying to control my PC through the Xbox with the wireless display app. I’m beginning to think that it is not possible either even though many “tech experts” claim to be able to do so easily, in their clickbait articles on the web
    You need to have your controller synced directly to the PC if you want to control it. If the controller is synced to the console, it won't control the PC.

    Sorry I misunderstood the first time, but in that case you should be able to activate game mode on the wireless settings and that should solve the situation of the controller to play the games

    Streaming to xbox controller input problem

    Is this the first time that you use the wireless display app or this started happening just now?

    First time, i managed to get my xbox series x yesterday trough help from a friend so i'm also still verry unfamillier with the software, i'm jumping from a 360 to a series x never having used an xbox one before.

    Your wireless controller is connected via wired or wireless?

    Wireless

    Are you on Windows 10 or 11?

    Windows 11

    If you have another controller, the same happens?

    Yes, i first tried on my elite wireless 2 controller and now i tried on the stock controller from the series x and it seems to happen as well

    My primairy goal was to stream games so i could use my bigger TV schreen
