Microsoft has already launched Windows 8 and along with that has come the Xbox Companion. The Xbox Companion is an app that runs on your Windows 8 computer that allows you to control your Xbox using your PC.
Well, now they’ve ported this app on your Windows Phone. If you’re like me and use your Xbox to play Netflix movies, this comes in very handy since you probably always have your phone within hands reach.
Now, you also have your remote always within arms reach as well. Here’s how to set it all up.
I. First Step- Before You Begin
1. You must have an Xbox and a Windows Phone both loaded with internet access.
2. For better result, both Xbox and Windows Phone should be connected to the same Wifi.
II. Second Step- Setup Xbox Companion on the Xbox
1. Open up Xbox and sign in to Xbox Live.
2. Settings > System > Console Settings > Find Xbox Companion and select it and then change it from Unavailable to Available.
III. Third Step- Setup Xbox Companion on the Windows Phone
1. Open the Marketplace on your Windows Phone and click on Apps.
2. Search for “Xbox Companion”, select it and click Install.
IV. Last Step- Connect Xbox Companion to the Xbox
1. Select Xbox Live/Games on your Windows Phone.
2. Under Collection, select Xbox Companion and select Next.
3. Select Next again.
4. After it connects you will receive a notification. Select continue on your Windows Phone at this point.
5. Now, you can select any of the quick play options from your Xbox on your Windows Phone to launch them on the Xbox.
