- Stream Xbox One games to your Mac with OneCast By Beth Hendricks Mar 02, 2018 Xbox One owners have been able to stream their games to PCs running Windows 10 since 2015, but Mac compatibility has.
Xbox One Remote Play Mac
When Microsoft announced that they were going to allow streaming of the Xbox One to various Microsoft devices I was both elated and disappointed. It’s definitely a cool feature that allows you to play your Xbox pretty much anywhere, but it’s pretty disappointing when you live in a household of only Apple computers and devices.
I’ve got nothing against Microsoft products, I just prefer my MacBook Pro and don’t really see the need to buy another device just to be able to stream my Xbox One to another room. But that being said, that doesn’t mean I can’t put Windows 10 Preview version on my MacBook Pro and stream the Xbox One to it!
Here is the link to Onecast:www.onecast.meThe Video will show you how to stream your Xbox One to your Mac, Macbook Pro, or Macbook Air!! Its a very easy tuto. OneCast OneCast allows you to stream Xbox One games to macOS in 1080p and connect an Xbox controller to your Mac via Bluetooth or USB. OneCast is extremely easy to setup, there’s almost no lag when playing and you can setup multiple profiles for multiple Xboxes.
In order to accomplish this I first needed to get some sort of virtual machine software. You can opt for VirtualBox, which is free, or Parallels which is $80. I use parallels already for testing various browsers for web development, so this was a no brainer.
Once I had the software I needed to run Windows on the Mac, I had to sign up for the Windows preview program. Once I was a Windows Insider member (which is free to anyone), I was able to download Windows 10 64bit ISO file. This file will work on Mac’s that use an Intel processor. So if you have a more recent Mac computer you should be fine. If you’re still running a computer that’s so old it doesn’t have an Intel processor, it probably wouldn’t be powerful enough to handle the streaming anyways, but either way, Windows wouldn’t install on it in the first place.
Once you have the ISO file downloaded, just fire up Parallels, search for the ISO and Windows 10 will boot up within a window on your Mac. Once it’s booted up, go to the Windows Store and make sure that you have the latest version of the Xbox app, and then fire it up.
NOTE: For right now you do need to be a member of the Xbox Preview Program as this isn’t a feature that has been released to the general public yet, but from what I understand, it will start rolling out to everyone at the end of July.
So once you have the Xbox app open, go over to the left menu bar and select “Connect” and then Stream and you should see your Xbox start streaming to your computer.
I was surprised with how well it worked running in Parallel’s on my Mac. Everything was fairly smooth, albeit there may be just a slight amount of controller lag, but it’s not that bad once you play for a few minutes. I could have also been thrown off because the actual Xbox was showing the game I was playing on the TV while the laptop was showing the same thing, so it was a bit disorienting. But I don’t think most people will be doing it that way, so it shouldn’t be an issue. The only slight issue I did notice was that the audio seemed slightly delayed coming out of the computer, but again, not the worst thing in the world.
This is going to be a great way for me to play the Xbox in the bedroom since it’s currently setup in the living room. The only bad thing is my wife can’t watch TV while I’m playing Xbox because it basically just takes over the entire Xbox and mirrors it completely on the computer. So if I’m playing a game and she turns on the TV, she’ll just see me playing the game from the other room. But overall I think this is a great feature and I’m pumped that it works so well using Parallel’s on my Mac.
After being available as a limited beta app, the new Xbox app for iOS is finally available on the App Store with the new “Remote Play” mode, which lets Xbox owners stream Xbox One games on the iPhone and iPad.
The Xbox app for iOS has been completely redesigned, and it brings some important new features, including the long-awaited Remote Play mode. iPhone and iPad users who also own an Xbox One can now play Xbox games right on their iOS devices via streaming.
As noted by The Verge, the Remote Play feature requires an Xbox One to work as it runs the game on the console and then streams it to the Xbox app on iOS and Android — so this is basically similar to the PS4 Remote Play app available for PlayStation 4.
Can I Stream Xbox To My Mac
Users can keep Xbox One connected at home and then stream the games on iPhone or iPad via Wi-Fi, LTE, and even 5G if you already have an iPhone 12. Microsoft also promises that the new Xbox app is faster and more intuitive compared to the previous version of the app.
Microsoft has no official plans to bring the xCloud platform to the iOS, which enables standalone gaming streaming through the web without an Xbox console. Apple forces game streaming platforms to run through Safari, which makes it difficult for projects like xCloud to operate on iOS.
A recent The Verge report revealed that Microsoft internally still has plans to bring xCloud to iOS, but a release date is still unknown.
The new Xbox app is available for free on the App Store, and it requires an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 12 or later.
