Xbox Streaming App Mac
The Xbox app keeps you connected to your gaming community on your phone or tablet. Easily share game clips & screenshots, chat, view achievements, and get notifications. Plus, play games from your console. Compatible with iOS version 10 or higher and Android version 6.0 or higher. While we Mac users have long awaited Microsoft to give us an official Xbox app for MacOS (much like the Windows 10 version), I have been trying to find a way to emulate the Xbox app on Mac, for useful input into in-game text chat in games like Warframe when it can get very tiresome to use the app on a phone. As I've previously posted my problems with Xbox browser here, I now want to post my positive experiences with this app. It works great, although you have to keep in mind that your firewall is down, otherwise it just doesn't work.

- Unpair it, then pair it again. If you still can't pair or connect, get help pairing your Bluetooth accessory to your iOS device.
- Make sure that you're not trying to connect too many Bluetooth accessories at once. Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD support up to two of the same kind of controller at once, or one controller with a combination of Bluetooth audio devices. Other controller and audio Bluetooth limits vary by device.
- Check that the firmware on your controller is up to date.
- Some controller functions aren't supported when paired with an Apple device, including the controller's audio jack. Contact Apple Support for more details.
