Welcome to OneCast!
Before you may use OneCast for the first time, you must
register your Xbox One as follows:
- You must have your Mac connected to
the same network as your Xbox One. For most people, this means
the Mac will be connected to their home network via WiFi, and
the Xbox One connected to the same network via LAN cable. Both
Xbox One and Mac must be able to connect to
the internet in order for game streaming to work.
- Make sure that game streaming is
enabled on your Xbox One by going to Settings -
Preferences - Xbox app connectivity, then making sure
the following two settings are configured:
[ Only from
profiles signed in on this Xbox ]
[ Allow game streaming to other devices ]
- Turn on your Xbox One and sign in with
the gamertag that you wish to use for game streaming.
- On the OneCast main window, press the
Register Xbox One button.
- The app will scan your network for
Xbox One consoles. If your Xbox One was not found, then please
see the user manual for troubleshooting information.
- At this point you must sign in to the
Microsoft account corresponding to the Xbox Live gamertag that
you wish to use for game streaming. You will be presented with
the external Microsoft account sign in website; complete the
sign in process to continue.
- After a brief loading period, you
should receive a message confirming that the Xbox One is now
registered - congratulations, you may now enjoy remote gaming
with OneCast!
Important points
For the best streaming experience, please note the following
networking tips:
- If your Mac is connected to the network via WiFi, then
ensure that you connect to 5GHz WiFi if your router supports
this. It will provide a much better connection, and therefore
smoother game play, compared to 2.4 GHz WiFi.
- If possible, have your Xbox One connected to the network by
LAN cable. Having the Xbox One connected via WiFi will
probably not be stable enough for game streaming to operate
smoothly.
OneCast supports connecting Xbox One controllers via USB
or Bluetooth. Only some controllers may be
connected via Bluetooth, please click
here for more information. Before you may connect Xbox One
controllers via USB, the third party Xbox Controller
Driver must be installed (you can install this from
the Controller menu). Please note that at the current
time, USB connection is not available under macOS Catalina.
