XBOX Movies and TV Shows Streaming to Phones or Tablets

Daddy McDeath · Nov 25, 2020

I have a growing collection of movies and tv shows that I have purchased through your store. It would be nice if I could stream them or download them onto my phone or tablet for flights or trips like I can with Vudu and Movies Anywhere.

Thanks,

Tim

you Can connect your account with movies anywhere or you can have those movies on Hulu, Amazon, iTunes, and others. Supported studios include Warner Brothers, Sony, Fox, Disney, Universal. Movies from Paramount, MGM, Lionsgate, and independent studios
are not currently supported

Are you trying to stream it directly from the Xbox, or from something else?

If it is from say a phone or tablet, try using Allcast app, its free from the Play Store, that casts to an Xbox.

If it is from your Xbox, test your network speed, to stream a 4k movie ( download speed ) you need 25mbps min, to stream it from your xbox to a TV ( upload speed ) at least 6mbps is the bare minimum, more is highly recommended.

Good evening

If you've linked your account to the Movies Anywhere app and can only see your movies and not your TV shows, it's possible that your TV shows are not supported by the Movies Anywhere app. You may want to check if the TV shows you want to watch are available on a different streaming service or app that is compatible with your phone.

Console gaming is here to stay, as lucrative as mobile/tablet gaming is its almost like saying people will prefer to watch TV/Movies on a phone or Tablet over a TV and Cinema.....almost lol

My understanding is that Smartglass will let you use your phone to control movie playback on your Xbox connected to your TV. It doesn't allow you to stream movies from the Xbox to your phone. Certainly not when you're out of range of your home wifi network.

You may be able to stream movies via Xbox Movies but that's a pay per view service. It's streaming from Microsoft's servers, not your Xbox.
