Why do I have to sign in to my console every time I try to use remote play on the Xbox app...

Hi Logan, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

Unfortunately no, since you have to have the console turned on and connected to the same WiFi to which you have your mobile phone connected to transfer the data. This way of playing is not through the cloud, but through the console itself, and that is why it is important that it is turned on and connected to WiFi. and said login is always for security reasons.

I have the Xbox Series X and was playing remote play on my Surface Pro 6 , it won't load up every time I try to do remote play on my surface and I'm not near my Xbox

Hi,

As stated, the only error messages I am getting are on the Xbox app for my iPhone. When I try to add an existing console to the Xbox app for remote play I get as far as naming the Xbox and once I press next it says “Try again in a bit. Something went wrong.”

I opened up the remote play option in the settings menu on my Xbox and the "Enable remote features" checkbox was once again unchecked.

You mentioned setting my console to Sleep mode however sleep mode was already enabled.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Xbox app from my phone and then after signing back in I tried to add a console. I want to specify that I am adding an existing console. I got through the whole setup up until hitting next after I chose the name of my Xbox and it gives me a "Try again in a bit. Something went wrong."

The weird thing is, my Xbox shows up in the "Consoles" section of my library. I fully closed and reopened the app and my Xbox disappeared from the "Consoles" section of my library.

I honestly believe this issue may be on your guys' end because even now the "Enable remote features" checkbox in the settings app on my Xbox Series X is still unchecking itself.

I would like to mention that when I test remote play on my Xbox Series X I get all the green checkmarks apart from the network type. My network type has a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle and says "Network type: Wireless. Interference on your home network might get in the way of playing remotely." next to it. I do not think should cause an issues however because when I opened the Xbox app on my iPhone and tested remote play after going through the whole setup process even after getting the "Try again in a bit. Something went wrong." error after naming my Xbox, remote play worked. I fully closed and reopened the app on my iPhone and the console was gone once again. I quit the settings menu on my Xbox Series X and then reopened it and went back to the remote play settings and the "Enable remote features" checkbox was still unchecked.

I've tried power cycling my Xbox and to no avail.

I seriously think I have found a bug in either Xbox Series X's OS or the Xbox app.

Edit: I just tried using my iPhone as a remote control for my Xbox and when I press any button it gives me a red triangle with an exclamation point. Underneath said caution sign it says "Try again soon" and underneath that it says "Can't connect right now." I see no reason for this to be happening. Do keep in mind that every single time I try this I have to go through the whole remote play setup from my Xbox app including the sections you have to complete on the console.

Yeah, I had the console on, unticked the remote play, restarted the console and then triggered the prompt on my Xbox by retrying on the mobile app after signing back in to reconnect it to remote play.

What I did prior to that was:

• Delete the Xbox App and re-downloaded
  
• Restarted the console (a million times to be frank)
  

The funny thing is I have two consoles, one for work and my personal console, both are Series X. When it didn't work on my personal, I tried it on the Work console and when I tried to find a console that's when it prompted me to enable remote play. When you do it does it get stuck on the "Sign in to your abox with your account." page?

Thanks for replying.

Firstly, I am unable to check if this happens on the Xbox app, as I do not have a modern smartphone somehow.

I have an external USB drive to store gameplay recordings, but that's it.

All of the time, my Xbox says everything to do with network is in check.

Yes, I've set it to sleep. I often use the console for remote playing.

Just an additional note: I don't use the official Xbox app when I do remote play, since it fails to connect most of the time, and when it does, it does a resolution higher than needed with lots of input lag. I use an app called "Xbplay". This shouldn't impact any remote features, but it does use remote features. This may or may not be a factor of the issue.
