Remote Play button configuration

BoyanTodorov · Jul 22, 2021

Hello,

I have created a custom profile for the gamepad on my Xbox Series X. I needed to swap X button with Y button as I feel it more convenient this way. When I play connected to the console all works fine.

However when I use Remote Play the buttons are not swapped and are like they are by default, which is very inconvenient to play.

Is there any solution to have the same gamepad configuration via Remote Play as it is created on the Xbox Console?

I understand, in this case, if you are on a mobile device, as I said, the remapping of the control will not work, as it does not have the accessory app for changing the buttons. Remapping will only work on your computer or your Xbox.

Hi Mateus,

Thanks for the quick reply. I really meant a smartphone.

I understand it is not possible which is unfortunate.

Do you know if there will be Xbox Accessories app for smartphone/tablets on Android?

Hello, how are you? My name is Matthew. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, I'm sorry for what's happening, if you're on a computer it's possible, in this case, you'll be using the accessories application, for that follow the procedure below.

To change configuration and remap the buttons on your Xbox controller, it is not mandatory to be done from the console. For players using their controls on the PC, remapping or profiling can be done directly on the computer. For that just:

Download or run the "Xbox Accessories" app;

Stick your control on the PC;

After being recognized, click on configure;

The next screen will be the same as if you were using the console;

Make your changes and save.

If you are on a mobile device such as a smartphone, it will not be possible, as it does not have the accessory app.

I agree with this suggestion. Or atleast have a dedicated "button" that I could program in my remote to switch to live TV full-screen. I use a Harmony remote and would love to program something into the remote to put the XBox One in TV mode when I press
the "Watch TV" button on my remote and have the XBox One goto the dashboard when I press the "Play Games" button on my remote.
