    How to stop the Xbox Series X/S screen from dimming while watching movies on apps?


    So far all I can do is set the idle to 60 minutes but movies are longer than 60 minutes, so the screen dims after the 60 minutes is up.

    The Xbox should recognize when an app is in use and not dim like the Playstation.

    :)

    How to stop the Xbox Series X/S screen from dimming while watching movies on apps?

    Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is Vinicius.

    I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

    Hey mate, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    So, actually the console should indeed recognize when it's in use. My Series S or even my series X they don't dimmed while watching movies on it. :/

    Try this on the console mate:

    First clean the cache of your console that way:

    1. Hold the XBOX power button on the console for 10 seconds until you hear a small sound.

    2. Wait 10 seconds.

    3. Turn it back on.

    Note: It may take a while for him to call, don't worry, it's normal.

    Then, restore your console keeping the games and apps:

    ***IMPORTANT*** If you share accounts with someone, you will have to redo the process of placing the account as the main one again, be aware of the chances you still have to do this, as Microsoft makes available per year, only 5 chances so you can make some account your console's main account.

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the dashboard.

    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console Information >

    3. Select Reset console > Restore and keep my games and apps.

    ******This part is crucial ok?*****

    4. When asking to pull settings from an old xbox, put no

    5. You will have to log in your accounts again, and when you sign in with your account, make sure you turn it has your home console also, that's it.

    NOTE: Rest assured, you won't lose games or saves

    ME3 love interests

    I like the X-Men :p I watch the series from the 90's (Its on at like 2 in the morning, so I record it) and the newer one that was cancelled a while ago, X- Men Evolution, and I watch the movies. Never actually read the comics, but I know my fair share
    about the series.

    HBO Now issues

    My HBO NOW app will dim the screen after watching a movie/episode for 10 minutes or so, and I have to move the joystick or press on the controller to get it to not dim. This only started after the last update. Please fix

    My Opinions, Thoughts and Concerns.

    Did you have an Xbox 360, pkvas? The screen never dimmed while watching movies of any sort (Dvd, Netflix, Streaming media from PC..etc). It's only when idle and no action at all that it goes dim. If the 360 has the feature, why not carry that over to
    the Xbox One. It's a pretty big deal for a lot of people. You might not understand it completely, but it is.
