    Xbox One Streaming from Xbox App to Console


    I have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to in the documentation. I have an xbox one S. I have a Windows 10 PC with the xbox app and I've already added the console to my PC in the xbox app. For the "xbox app connectivity" preferences on the console
    itself, it is set to "allow connections from any device" and to "allow play to streaming" and "allow game streaming to other devices".

    I have two wifi networks. My phone is my primary internet connection via wifi tether. I also have an offline LAN wifi network that I use for file transfers. My thoughts are if I can use my LAN wifi network to do streaming. The signal is better and more reliable.

    The xbox app on my PC doesn't seem to launch without an internet connection. Also, when I do manage to connect, I'm prompted to sign in on the console itself with my profile FIRST before establishing the stream.

    My questions....

    1) Is it possible to stream to the console with an offline wifi network? I.e., a wifi network without an internet connection? The documentation merely states to use a "home" network. I'm not really sure what that means--an offline network via LAN or if streaming
    requires an internet connection.

    2) Is it possible to stream without first having to signin on the console with my profile? Can't I do that after I open the stream? It seems kind of pointless to have a streaming feature when I have to be standing in front of the console to enable the stream
    each time in the first place.

    Note: I am aware that I will not be able to play online games if I use a LAN wifi network with no internet access. Most of the games I play are offline anyway so it's a cost I'm willing to embrace.

    Thanks.

    :)

    'Turn On' Xbox One Not Working But SmartGlass Does

    I am unable to turn on my Xbox One from the Windows 10 Xbox app, receiving the following error message "We are unable to turn on your console. Make sure this device is on the same network as your console and your console is set to instant-on".
    However, if the Xbox One is already on, I can connect and utilize game streaming from Windows 10. On the same network, I can successfully turn on the Xbox One from the SmartGlass app on my iPhone and then connect to the Xbox One for game streaming from Windows
    10. Any ideas for how to get the Xbox One to turn on directly from Windows 10 without having to use the SmartGlass app?

    Xbox One Streaming from Xbox App to Console

    Hi there!

    There is a way... but its more of an unconventional way to do so. The sign in requirement is there for security purposes after all.

    How ever, with your situation there is no harm in doing so.

    I have done streaming with your situation using the Xbox Dev Mode Companion (preview) app on Windows 10.

    You can find the app Here.

    You can stream without first signing in, meaning your can just turn your Xbox on with the app and you don't need to do anything else to start streaming.

    I believe this will work with no internet connection too, because the app can launch offline and again... you don't need to sign in.

    Hope this helps!

    Streaming

    We can't know what the upcoming Xbox Series X features for streaming are just now.

    Microsoft had their own streaming service called "Mixer", that they shut down just yesterday on July 22nd. And for that service, they had streaming built right into the Xbox One console. You'd just set up your stream from the console guide, and could stream
    to Mixer.

    Twitch has made a separate app that you could install on your Xbox One, and set up streaming to Twitch from the console.

    Unfortunately for YouTube, there was no app or built in support, as YouTube/Google hasn't provided such an app on Xbox.

    If you really want/have to stream your Xbox gameplay to YouTube, the currently only known way is to have a PC with HDMI capturing hardware and a streaming software like OBS or XSplit to stream that video capture from the PC to YouTube.

    i can't game stream on xbox series x/s

    Hi Alfrddd

    Streaming on the console companion on PC is not supported on the Xbox series consoles. Only Xbox One.

    The only platform that you can currently stream from is iOS and Android, using the Xbox app.

    Hope that helps.
