Wireless Display / Casting to Xbox One from Phone, Tablet, PC

Sir Doorknob · Dec 14, 2016

Sooo wondering if this will ever be a thing for non-preview / insider users.

I've seen plenty of videos of people mirroring their phones, tablets, and laptops on their xbox through the wireless display app that is (or was) only available to the preview members. That was over a year ago though and I'm still not seeing anything for
the public.

Am I missing something here? Is it out under a different name? Am I way behind on this? What's going on?

I know we can stream from xbox to other devices but, when are we gonna see the flip side of that?? I can't even find mention of a release date let alone a thread, blog, or anything about this that's not a year old.

Xbox "cast to device" from PC Windows 10 no longer works.

Hey everyone,

Just to clarify, are you posting in regards to playing files from your PC and streaming them to your Xbox One console over DLNA, or are you posting in regards to casting your Windows 10 display over to your Xbox One console via the Wireless Display app?

Casting from Windows 10 to Xbox One is a feature made available to our Xbox Insiders through the Wireless Display app, which has not been made available to everyone quite yet. If you're a member of the

Xbox Insider program, be sure to post in our Xbox Insider forums for further assistance with that specific feature.

Keep us posted!

MS is working on streaming PC games to Xbox One

His excuses for it being a challenge don't make a whole lot of sense. I stream my entire Win7 desktop from my PC to my phone through Asus software. I imagine MS could do this very easily for X1. My guess is that they want to limit streaming to games only, rather than just the output display of the PC. As far as I know, that's what the nvidia shield does (limits PC streaming to games only) and is the reason why I haven't bothered to get one. It would be nice to have a way to stream everything from my PC to my X1 for the TV so I can keep my PC in my office.Click to expand...

with the wireless display app, you can stream from a pc/tablet/phone to your xbox. i played dark souls 2 on my pc, streamed to my xbox in another room.

I appreciate you for sending us the photo privately. That helps me further isolate the issue.

The white dot you’re seeing on your screen when casting from your Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 to your Xbox One using the Wireless Display app could be a cursor or pointer from the tablet that’s being mirrored on the TV. This can happen if the tablet is interpreting the TV as an external display and showing a mouse pointer.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Check for updates again:

Make sure that your Xbox One, the Wireless Display app, and your Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 are all up to date.

Disable mouse pointer on your tablet: Some tablets have an option to disable the mouse pointer when connected to an external display. You can check this in the settings of your tablet.

Ok, but isn't my laptop using miracast services to cast to other devices? It should be possible to do it between my laptop and console, and there are various examples demonstrating this (although from what I've found it's casting windows 10 to an xbox one)

On the Microsoft Store for the Wireless Display App, it says "Microsoft's Wireless Display app lets you wirelessly project your Windows or Android based devices to your Xbox One".

Hello, this is not possible currently, however if you want to play your PC games on your Xbox you can use the Wireless Display app on Xbox to stream your PC games on Xbox.

I hope this helps,

I just want to clarify how to use the app.

"Once the app is open on your Xbox One, press Windows key + P to bring up the
“Project” menu on your PC. Click the “Connect to a wireless display” link. Your Xbox One should appear as one of the options. Click on it, and your screen will cast to the display your Xbox One is connected to." -BGR

I hope this helps with your issue.
