Xbox Console Companion App won't stream Xbox to laptop.

You need to stream your console to your laptop (Has to have Windows 10) with The Xbox Console Companion app. Start the Xbox One, then start the Console companion app, then select the connect icon on the left side of the app, and your console should show,
just select it, and select stream, that will then stream your console to your laptop.

Are you minimizing the Xbox console companion app while using to stream your Xbox to it?

Why are you wanting to stream your xbox to the laptop?

Are you running anything else on the laptop whilst trying to stream?

Hi Jos158,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to answer that.

Unfortunately you cannot plug in the Xbox One into your laptop and use the laptop as a display. Also there is no app or program that would convert the HDMI port on your laptop to an input source rather than an output source.

Your only option would be to use the game streaming through the Xbox Console Companion app. I would re over these two support articles on how to improve streaming:

• How to use game streaming in the Xbox Console Companion app on Windows 10
• Improve game streaming performance when using the Xbox Console Companion app on Windows 10

I hope this helps!

Hi BamBam, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

You can use your HP Laptop as a screen through console streaming. You can use the Xbox App or Xbox Console Companion to do so.

1. Xbox console: Game streaming must be enabled in Settings.

2. Windows PC/Laptop: You must be signed in to the Xbox Console Companion app with the same Gamertag as on the Xbox console.

3. Network connectivity: The Windows 10 PC/Laptop and the Xbox console must be on the same home network.

Currently I'm using the Xbox app's cloud gaming feature which is working. Might just switch over to that, less hassle. If there's a way to just simply stream gameplay outside of cloud gaming I'll look into it. Thanks for the help.
