How to stop a device from casting to the XBOX One X on a wifi network in 2023 ?

The settings/preferences options described in previous answers do not exist on my XBOX One X console. Perhaps updates since 2019 have changed or removed this option.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

If the settings or preferences options that were previously described are not available on your XBOX One X console, there are other ways you can try to stop a device from casting to it on a wifi network.

One option is to change your wifi network settings to prevent the device from connecting to the network altogether. Another option is to disable casting on the device itself, if possible.

To change your wifi network settings, you can access your router's admin page and block the MAC address of the device you want to stop from casting. This will prevent the device from connecting to the wifi network and thus prevent it from casting to the XBOX One X console.

To disable casting on the device, you can check the settings or preferences options of the device itself. If there is an option to disable casting, you can select it and the device will no longer be able to cast to any device on the wifi network, including the XBOX One X console.

If neither of these options works, you may need to consult the user manual or contact customer support for the device or the XBOX One X console for further assistance.

1. Open the XBOX One X settings and select "Devices & streaming".

2. Choose "Device connections" and then select "Allow connections from any device" to turn it off.

3. You can now select "Only from profiles signed in on this Xbox" to restrict casting only to accounts signed in on the XBOX One X.

I'm not blocking all of my guests' and family's devices on my wifi network because XBOX cannot stop receiving a specific data transfer request from a remote device.. That's a terrible suggestion.

Hi Jesse. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

The YouTube app can only cast from devices on the same WiFi network as your Xbox. Since the app isn't made by Xbox, it would be down to YouTube to address any issues or concerns: https://www.youtube.com/t/contact_us

Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this. It corrects many issues so hopefully it will help here.

Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

Good Luck.
