You should be able to use the remote feature from the xbox app without having to connect

In fact, it used to mirror what was displayed on the tv screen to your phone app.So if it's in a area to type it would pull it up on the phone.Now it's just the activity feed.What happened to the smart glass stuff

Hi Annihilator, thanks for the feedback, I will report this behavior to the developers in our reports.

Thanks,

Best

It should be because we know that Xbox consoles have a way to stream the games from the same servers as the mobile apps which support touch screen controls. The Xbox remote play could switch the control inputs by sending a message to the server through the Xbox console when you connect with the Xbox app on your mobile device or the game pass app for PC at least. This would allow touch screens to be another avenue for developers to make more accessibility features for their games. Also, the TV stick is around the corner. What would be a great idea for the TV stick is to have the remote play to work with the stick to allow you to play touch screen games without a controller and have less lag when playing. Since the consoles are not able to get touch screen support for a device can you guys add the support to the remote play feature of the Xbox app for mobile devices and PCs?

Hello Abias! Thanks for your reply. Have you tried installing the game remotely? You can click the game title from your order history to install it via Xbox store or you can use Xbox app. Just make sure that remote features are already enabled. Go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features. Check the box to enable remote features and for Power options, select Sleep mode.

If you suspect someone has access to your account, you should immediately change your passwords and check your security settings in your Microsoft account and any other account you feel may be affected.

Secondly, you can disable remote play features on your Xbox by going to Settings>Devices & connections>Remote features. From there, you can toggle remote features or disable streaming features under the "Xbox app preferences" under the same tab.
