    Xbox Console Companion - Bug fix: 2 black bars and low resolution while streaming to PC on...


    Hi guys,

    I was facing this problem for a long time and today I solved it by accident, so I would like to share it with other people with the same question.

    Sometimes when I stream from the xbox one console in the living room to my computer in the bedroom (same network), the image gets black bars and very low resolution. Sometimes it works perfectly.

    Today I realised that just before starting streamming from console to computer, the TV where the console is connected with hdmi cable must be on. After the stream is succesfully made you can turn off the TV.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards

    Below there are 2 images showing the problem.

    1) Xbox Console Companion with black bar and low resolution bug;

    2) Problem solved by turning the TV on and then off.

    taking screen captures on xbox one while streaming using xbox companion app

    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

    PC Xbox App not recognising Game Pass Ultimate Sub

    Console streaming you could do via xbox console companion app if you want.

    But this is indeed odd mate, what I could do to help is redirect you to Microsoft support directly, so they could look into this bug on your PC app.

    game streaming from Xbox to laptop

    First off, Smartglass is no longer supported. You have the Xbox Console Companion, and the Xbox app on PC. To stream to your PC, you will first need to turn on game streaming in Devices & connections Remote features in the Settings. Once you have done
    that, start the Xbox console companion, then make sure you are on the same network as the Xbox, sign in with the same Xbox account that is on the console, and select the connection icon on the left of the app, and then select the console that is connected,
    and select stream. You should now be streaming your console to your PC.

    Xbox Companion App Party Invitations

    This would be the 3rd time I have said I have checked my PC notification settings. Hell I built my own i9 PC and tournie website and am pretty sure I checked the settings today.

    Let me re-iterate that on Xbox you see party invites and the Xbox companion app should do the same.

    Not via game bar, not via PC but by the app I'm using which is the main app anyway. Why would I want a mini game bar version I may have to refer to, if talking in companion? Who decides these things? Do they ever stream on PC using an Xbox console and Companion?
    Theres enough to monitor already.

    How do I stream xbox game to PC now?

    Hi!

    To stream your Xbox to your PC, you need to download the Xbox Console Companion.

    Make sure that your Xbox and your PC is in the same network.
