    Streaming to PC via Console Companion App cuts my internet out


    I was installing a game from GP last night and noticed my download speed was only 1.4mps, whilst streaming to PC via the Companion App.

    As soon as I ended the Stream feature, my download speed jumped back to 60mps. I thought this was just a one off, so I hit the Stream feature again, an my internet dropped back to 1.4mps.

    Tried this several times today and I see the same pattern, jumping between 1.4mps & 60mps each time i toggle the stream feature on & off. Even tried lowering the quality which made no difference.

    Has anybody else had this issue & know how to fix it?

    :)

    Streaming to PC via Console Companion App cuts my internet out

    Thank you for your response, I stream all the time with no problems, to Facebook Gaming, it's only started happening last night.

    Just found it strange that streaming only the video via the companion would drain all my mps for a download, even though all devices are wired with ethernet cables.

    Good afternoon, how are you?!

    Streaming games in general requires a lot of internet use, maybe your internet does not support it, if it is powerful try to contact Microsoft

    Dudas de stream por twich

    Hi There,

    Yes this is possible, I stream like this all the time.

    There are two ways to do this first is if you bought an external capture device.

    Second way is how I do it, you can use the Xbox Companion app on your PC to remote play your Xbox, then use a streaming app on your pc to stream the Xbox Companion app. Just note that you may want to join party chats via the Xbox companion app instead of
    on your console and also continue to play via controller on your Xbox to not experience delays playing via the pc app.

    Xbox Live Gold applying to Console

    if you don't have a console then how are you going to connect a console to the companion app in the first place. gold is only required on the console, if you connect via companion app to a console and stream to a pc that console will need gold to play online.

    To continue, sign in on your console using this account.

    Started having same issue with Xbox Console Companion App. Uninstalled/reinstalled app on PC, reset the XBOX One console and still issue.

    I've started trying to stream via Xbox App. Everything seems fine until actually playing a game. Button presses and using controller seem to stutter, not register.

    So currently cannot stream my Xbox via my PC in any capacity.
