Streaming media from your PC to your Xbox One can seem like a daunting task, but with a few easy steps, you can be up and running in no time. In this post, we will guide you through the process of streaming any media file from your Windows 7 PC to your Xbox One.
First, ensure that you have the Xbox Video and Music apps installed on your Xbox One. From there, go to your settings, then preferences, and then to system and app. Click the “allow play to streaming” option, and you’re all set up on the Xbox side.
Next, jump over to your computer, click on the start button, and then select Devices and Printers. Click “add a device” and let it search. Once it has found your Xbox, click on it and hit next. After it has been successfully added, it will need to install some drivers, so just let that run.
Once your Xbox has been added as a device, that’s pretty much all of the configuration that you need to do on your computer’s side. For your videos, right-click on the file that you want to play, then choose “open with” and select Windows Media Player. Make sure to always use the selected program and hit OK.
After that, right-click on the video file again, click “play to,” and then select your Xbox One. The video should start playing on your Xbox One as long as it is currently on.
Streaming media from your Windows 7 PC to your Xbox One can be a great way to enjoy your favorite content on a larger screen. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can get set up quickly and easily. No need to worry about complicated configurations or settings.
