Thank you for understanding.

You need to plug it in via USB or i would suggest getting thr remote. The controller will power down after 15min of inactivity if not connected via USB. This is not changeable

Hello O iDaRkReApEr x,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that your controller turns off while you are watching a movie. I understand how frustrating that can be. To help you with this issue, I need to ask you a few questions.

First, what model of controller are you using?

Second, how long does it take for the controller to turn off after you start watching a movie?

Third, do you have any other devices connected to your Xbox that might interfere with the controller's connection?

Check the following list:

1. Make sure your controller is fully charged or replace the batteries if necessary.

2. Check your console's power-saving settings to ensure that they are not set to turn off your controller after a certain amount of time.

3. Try resetting your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button on the controller for 10 seconds until it turns off, then turn it back on and reconnect it to your console.

This may be due to idle time, you can adjust it by following the steps below:

- Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

- Select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.

- Select the controller you want to change, and then select Power mode.

- Choose the idle time you prefer, from 10 minutes to 60 minutes.

If everything has been performed and still experience the same issue, I recommend for you to contact our live support team for more assistance. They have the necessary tools to troubleshoot and diagnose your issue.

We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.

Hello Rider,

Thanks for coming to the forums. When you are watching a movie try turning the controller off while watching. Sometimes also when the console sits idle even if watching movie it will sign you out. Under power and start up try increasing the inactivity for
when it will turn off.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Brad

I never notice the brightness of the button until I am watching a movie and I sit the controller aside. Then I can see the controller's light reflected on the tv screen. So I will just turn the controller off but that dosen't help while you are gaming.
