Hello, JulyTheNeon. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Yes, the new Xbox app allows you to start a remote play session if you already have your Xbox One configured.

You can start a remote play session by clicking on the little Xbox icon (consoles) that's next to the notifications icon.
Once you click on the “consoles” icon, you will be able to select your Xbox and start playing remotely.

In case you don't see the console after clicking on the icon, please follow these steps:

“Open the Xbox app for PC.
Click on your profile picture and select View profile.
Under Where I play, select the Add a console option and follow the steps shown.”

I finally found the issue, go to the xbox, then go to settings - device and connections - remote features and re enable remote features, some how it got disabled, after i did that the xbox pc app streaming icon showed up on pc

I have similar issue.

What doesn't work:

• Remote Control from Standy On : Cannot touch Xbox button or Turn On Console to truly power on the console.
  
• Remote Play from Standby On: Cannot connect to the console, even though the router can find the console connected to network, can ping to the console through router console.
  
• Game management: cannot install or uninstall games
  

What does work:

• Change console name: using Xbox app to change console name, the updated name reflects on Xbox app Beta, Xbox Game Streaming (Test app) for PC. This means the apps still be able to connect to the console, sending signal to the console.
  
• Remote play when Powered on: remote play/console streaming feature can be used only and if only the console is turn on, with the Xbox button on console lighted on. Work on both External and internal networks => not related to NAT(Open type) or Remote settings because all testings give green status. ==> However, having the console turn on directly in-home or having someone at home to turn on the console for me is not the point of remote play. The console is supposed to be turn on in background for remote play from External network!
  

This issue should be fixed before anything else!

If you are interested in using the remote play feature, I would like to let you know that you can access this feature on the new Xbox app.

Once you download and open it, you can find your previously configured consoles by clicking on the icon that appears next to your gamertag, in the upper left.

Not only that, but if you want to configure remote play on the Xbox PC app, please follow these steps:
