xbox companion app shuts down after clicking stream

Hi,

are you using the regular or the beta app?

I have this problem sometimes when I have been streaming my console to the pc without any problems suddenly it stops working.

I click remove next to the console on the streaming page and do a hard reset on my xbox and shut down my pc.

I then boot up my pc and turn my xbox on and search for the xbox on my pc on the streaming page of the companion app. This normally works for me.

No, I use my xbox for streaming services and I want to be able to use my laptop as a controller to skip to next episode/rewind/select show etc. Used to be able to do this on the companion app but that's being shut down, and the option to do so on the new app isn't there.

When your PC and XBOX are in the same net, you can stream your console on your laptop via the companion app:

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/console-companion-app

This way your laptop will work as a screen with the net as the only connection (the controller is plugged to the laptop in this case since you controlling everything from there). Since you're looking after fast download speeds, be sure
to connect to the XBOX to launch the download and then disconnect since the stream is taking bandwidth and slowing down everything else. Just reconnect after a while to check progress.

Captures work fine when not streaming. The problem is down to how the game bar and xbox console companion app work together . The game bar doesn't know what game I am streaming
