Here's how you stream Xbox One games on Windows 10

4.6
Microsoft has made much ado about Windows 10's support for streaming Xbox One games to your PC, but how do you actually do it? There's a good chance that you can figure it out if you're reading this, but Microsoft has helpfully posted a full walkthrough in case you or your friends need some help. The gist? You'll need both an Xbox One controller and an Xbox Live account, of course, but you'll also need to make sure that the Xbox One is set to allow game streaming in the first place. We could see that easily becoming a stumbling block if you're rushing to get started. The guide is also a friendly reminder of what you can do once everything is working, such as voice chat (with a microphone) and controlling the Xbox One's menus. It's simple enough... let's just hope that PC-to-Xbox streaming isn't any more complex.

Don't bother trying if you have slower internet. Color gets messed up and resolution gets lowered significantly....

I really dont see the use in using your Pc as a monitor for your xbox? Why not just play it on your tv?!

djreaper11 Do you need a good graphics card to stream on PC?


I think it's mostly internet connection in this case because the hardware being used for rendering and such is still the XB1.


This doesn't use your internet at all just local network speeds which if wired can be up to gigabit speeds.
