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!

I can stream my Xbox to my PC or MacBook running windows10 and play a game while then someone can go on the Xbox one and watch say Netflix or TV? Level 2 2 points 5 years ago.

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. Yes: you CAN stream Xbox games on a Mac!Sponsor: My WiFi TV - spinning thing on my desk: https://dly.

Our other computer is a MacBook Pro (2015) 13, with 2.7 ghz processor and 8gb RAM running Catalina. It’s barely enough to run a Twitch stream. I have to close everything except OBS, a browser, optimized OBS settings to be easy on the processor, and even then the stream still lags. If your hardware is = or less to this, expect issues.

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.

Stream Xbox To Mac Os

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.

Hi community!

Rarely am I beaten by software. But the lack of discussion on this topic has defeated me.

I'm trying to stream the Xbox one to my late 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina display, and I'm failing to do so. Every time the connection is established, a second after and the whole Xbox app that I'm running in the latest version on windows 10 through the latest version of boot camp, crashes and closes down.

I've visited a few forums here and there, with the general theme of the issue being related to the AMD graphics card.

Xbox Games On Mac

I'm wondering if anyone else with the similar mac and Xbox has had any similar issues.

P.S. I've ran the stream test (those of you with xboxs will know what I mean) with all test receiving a successful tick mark. I've also noticed the app crashes when I'm trying to play a captured video uploaded by the live community.

Any help much appreciated.
