STREAMING QUALITY TOO LOW XCLOUD

Such products are already on the market.

Portal is not a handheld. It’s the same as using a tablet or phone to stream xcloud

You are likely to have the same issues with it. Quality depends on your network quality.

I have a Series X and a One X and the streaming quality when using remote play on the One X is far superior (as is the PS5 streaming quality). The One X also records better video captures for up to 5 minutes and the Series X barely manages 1 minute.

Microsoft hasn’t attempted to fix this yet as evidenced by the fact the new streaming app doesn’t even have the option to prioritise either higher quality or lower bandwidth streams like the older one did.

My first guess would be that they use a low bandwidth, highly compressed and low resolution stream by default no matter how good your connection is to minimise latency and work in a wider range of home networks as you used to need a very good network to avoid any glitching. They seem to have struck a better balance with XCloud itself which delivers a higher quality stream and ostensibly it uses the same hardware as the home consoles. XCloud isn’t a real replacement though, you can’t play all that many games on it

But the fact it’s been more than a year without change and Microsoft never gives a real answer on this issue leads me to believe the hardware itself may have some limitation and can’t capture and compress effectively without tanking fps.

Lots of connection problems since update , and mostly on modem router combos like you have , you did say you did the port forwarding AND had UPNP enabled , you cant do both , you may be confusing the router ...you could also try and put that router in "bridge
mode" which should make it just a modem , then plug only the xbox straight into it and see if it acts any different....as far as routers , imo , Netgear is the most xbox friendly , but get one that is geared towards gaming and supports "multiple consoles"
(even if you have only one console , if it supports more , you'll know its a gaming router) also get a modem ONLY and a router ONLY ...no combos or "gateways"

I did this test several times, I can stream in Very High quality, but when I stream, even the Low quality is buggy...

I can try to change some settings of my router, but which ones?

Hey there, aXXo22! Sorry that Netflix seems to not load images for you.

Have you checked out the
low streaming quality support flow? If not, I highly suggest checking that out. It lets you know if your bandwidth is too low for Netflix and a few troubleshooting steps.

Please post back if that doesn't help you or if Netflix seems to be working just fine for you now! We want to get you fixed up.
