    xbox console companion- how to stop console companion from displaying what i'm doing


    Ok, so I'm having an issue with blocking the xbox console companion from displaying my status to all my friends. Whenever I play a game it tells everyone that I'm friends with what I was playing and when. This is incredibly annoying because all my family
    members keep bugging me about how late I stay up gaming.

    I've spent ages trying to figure out how to turn this off. Is there any way to do this?! I can't even find a page on here for Xbox Console Companion privacy settings.

    So please someone help or I'm going to go crazy XD

    :)

    Hi,

    You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
    tap G on the keyboard.

    Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
    Xbox button.

    Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
    to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.

    Full information including a tutorial video can be found here: Customize Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10

    In addition to the above excellent info.

    If you install the Xbox (Beta) app, you can also control your Online/Offline status from that. It will leave the app running in the background and you can click on the Xbox Logo in the Taskbar (bottom right, where the clock is) and you can change your Presence
    status from there.

    This app also lets you interact with over gamers over chat etc

    Why won't Cloud gaming let me stream even though everything is updated?

    What you are attempting and what you can do are two completely different things

    Companion app is for remote play

    .not for xckoud

    You can only use xbox app or the website.

    The error you are getting is because you aren't trying to access a local console

    You are trying to do it via the web which already comes with latency issues

    Because you are trying to stream it not once but twice

    You.can only do what you attempt to do by using a locally installed game or an external program for screen recording

    https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/help...-game-streaming-in-xbox-console-companion-app

    What is going to happen is you are going to lose akot of frames as video capture is going to take a lot of proccessing power away frothe streaming the game from the xcloud

    Game.streaming companion app is meant for being a external display for remote display for your local xbox not a cloud service

    Getting Add Ons from Xbox Console to Xbox Companion on PC

    Well it is working as intended then

    I don't think you fully realize what they mean

    Progress means cloud saves not dlc

    Since dead by daylight isn't a playanywhere title dlc locked to the platform you bought it on in this case xbox

    Console companion is a wireless display app

    You would need your console nearby and access from your console not the xbox app

    If you mean remote play ala xcloud you need xgu not console companion but dead by y daylight is not a xcloud title
