xbox console companion when streaming screen does not display

im also having this problem it has to be on xboxs side a recent update must of broke the app because i been using this app for 3 months its been perfectly fine till this week

Hi.

I advice:

- check video in the other tv/screen

- check video out with other video cable (you video connection hdmi ?).

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!

The HDMI connection on a laptop is usually an HDMI out connection, meaning it can connect to another display, but not become another display.

The only way you could use the laptop as a display for your Xbox, is to stream the game from your Xbox, by using the Xbox Console Companion app on your laptop.

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

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
