Xbox Remote Play saying Xbox is Off (while its on) from a distance - WIndows 10

I would recommend checking the points mentioned in the first two steps of the link below:

Since the remote play is truely a feature of Windows 10 playing on a mac without Windows 10 will not work.

I can confirm however that running a windows 10 parallels VM will in fact let you play and stream the xbox from my macbook pro.

Hi there Remote, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

You should be able to play on Remote Play with your Xbox console regardless of the distance you are from it. Even if you are not in the same location as your Xbox console and even if you are not connected to the same internet connection as your console, you can play with it on Remote Play. For example, if you are in a different location from where your console is located and you use a mobile phone, you can start the remote gaming session and play with your console by connecting the controller to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, although the latency may vary depending on the speed of the connection you are connected to.

You can see how to set up Remote Play on your Xbox console via the following link:

Hi there! I'll do my best here to help.

You mentioned that on the other platform your remote play works fine, correct? Which platform exactly? Are you able to play your games there remotely except on your Windows 11 machine?

If you want to play remotely on your Windows 11, make sure that all your available updates from Windows and Microsoft Store are installed:
Check for Windows updates - https://support.microsoft.com/windows/update-wi...
Get updates from Microsoft Store - https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/g...

You could as well repair & reset your Xbox app:

On your Xbox console, please power cycle it as well. Press and hold the Xbox power button for 10 seconds until it turns off. Unplug it from its power source for few minutes then plug it back in and turn it on again.

Then do the same with your network devices such as modem/router. Turn it off and unplug its power source for few minutes before turning it back on.

Best regards,

the idea of xcloud is that, to be able to play your xbox games anywhere. throughout 2020 will go to the different countries
