You should see your Xbox One console appear. Click on “configure”, follow the steps and voila, you now have access to your own console, everywhere!

After your first configuration, you will only have to click on "connection" to directly launch the video stream from your console to the phone once the controller is connected.

Connection recommended to enjoy a satisfactory experience: Wi-Fi 5GHz connection or mobile data 10 Mbps in reception and 4.75 Mbps in transmission.

Please note: The broadcast quality depends on your internet connection. Also make sure that your console is not performing a background game update or installation so that all the necessary bandwidth is available. If you play via a 4G mobile connection, also pay attention to your data consumption.
