    Xbox Console Companion Quality Settings


    Hello all,

    I was just wondering if the "Very High" stream quality setting within the Xbox Console Companion app for Windows 10 has been removed?

    Prior to the summer when the kids were still in school and not taking over my PC, I used to stream my XboxOne to my PC alot, and always used the "Very High" setting, which worked quite well.

    Currently, the app only gives me the options of Low, Medium, or High.

    :)

    Thank you for the reply. One thing to add is that in researching this issue, other people have confirmed still seeing the "very high" setting.

    Unfortunately, I find the "high" setting lacking and have resigned to no longer using the app to stream to my PC.

    If the "very high" setting were to return, or if we could discover why it is missing for some people, I would use this on a nightly basis.

    Hi BigWreck78,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums.

    I just checked myself on the Xbox Console Companion app for Windows 10 and the only streaming quality options I could find under the Xbox One tab was Low, Medium, or High like you said, so if there was previously a "Very High" option then it has now
    been removed. Unfortunately we won't be able to give you a definitive reason why although it's always possible it could always come back. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may cause but you could submit feedback through the Feedback Hub app on Windows

    anyway i dont have problem with the app(store or xboxapp) the problem is the quality of the local streaming

    the local streaming using xboxapp + xbox series x is poor, both in cable(gigabit cable, router gigabit too)

    when i do local streaming using xbox companion + xbox one x the quality is way better, plus the xbox companion app have option to show network stats(bandwidth, etc.) and theres an option for quality too ( low, medium, high and very high)

    my post is to know why xboxapp doesnt work as xbox companion app, and why u guys didnt let xbox companion connect to xbox series consoles

    the xbox companion works way better for local streaming, so my point is, make xbox companion be able to connect xbox series consoles, or make xboxapp local streaming have the option to change quality like companion ( low, medium, high and very high) and make it show network stats detailed like companion, it seems xboxapp keep changing quality to make it more responsive, but we r in local streaming, theres no point in auto quality, let me pick which quality i want to use, even if it consumes alot of bandwidth, its okay cuz its local network

    i just tested it right now in xbox companion + xbox one x the bandwidth used is stable around 14Mbps, when using xboxapp + xbox series x the bandwidth reach the same 14mbps but its not stable, it descrease to like 2mbps (when quality get low) then increase again, over and over, so im pretty sure xboxapp has the quality set to auto, thats why the bandwidth isnt stable, thats why i asked for an option for local streaming where we can pick the quality like companion does

    Xbox Series X streaming from to PC

    Thank you both. I lost the track of every Xbox - streaming realted application and their menus. I had Xbox, Xbox Streaming Test App and Xbox Console Companion and I used each one of them for streaming in the previous years so I miss the icons. Do you know if there is any settings about streaming quality / bitrate?
