If you are planning to watch all your great collections of videos and movies this weekend and if you are fortunate enough to own an Xbox one then you have golden combination. You can stream these videos using and Xbox One. You just have to follow some simple steps. Check out the steps below.
1. First of all you need to download a beautiful app called SofaPlay from the Mac App Store. The app is a paid one and costs $4.99. The app is easy to use and elegant. There is a free Lite version but it restricts your video experience to watching only 2 minutes of the videos.
If you want to stream the Xbox One game display to your Mac, you will have to install 'OneCast' from here: That software is a similar streaming client like the Xbox app for Windows 10. After setting up the software, make sure the software finds the Xbox One on the network, and then play.
2. Next, open Xbox Video on you Xbox One. All you need to do is go to the Xbox Home screen. Scroll to the right and try to find out the search tile. Find out Xbox Video and install it.
Stream Xbox To Mac Os
I recommend the Avermedia Live Gamer Portable Plus. It has 4K passthru for the Xbox One X while it can record or stream at 1080p60. It’s compatible with Mac and OBS recognizes it as a game capture device input. It costs about $200 USD on Amazon. As a bonus, you can record gameplay without a computer by utilizing the built in SD card slot. Make sure you have Xbox Video app on your Xbox One console. Also make sure that streaming is enabled in the settings on your Xbox. Go to Settings Preferences “Allow Play To Streaming” and check it. Then Open SofaPlay on your Mac and select the Xbox-SystemOS option from the list. Xbox One owners have been able to stream their games to PCs running Windows 10 since 2015, but Mac compatibility has been notably, and expectedly, lacking. A new app, OneCast, promises to deliver.
3. Now you open the SofaPlay on your Mac and select the Xbox-SystemOS option from the dropdown list.
4. Now the final step. Play the movie and enjoy!

How To Stream Xbox One To Mac Free On Computer
SofaPlay has some difficulties as well. It is not compatible with some video formats. Besides, SofaPlay doesn’t allow to drag the playhead. You won’t be able to have forward and reverse buttons on the SofaPlay player in order to skim through videos. It’s not an issue since we have remote controllers like Xbox One Media Remote, Xbox One controller, SmartGlass on mobile devices etc.
