Welcome to our review of the OneCast programs for streaming your Xbox One to your Mac!

We all know how it goes, suddenly someone in the house wants to watch TV and you are in the middle of a game. It used to be tedious to work around this, but for a while, this issue exists no more. OneCast provides a paid solution/alternative to the PS4 Remote play app. Not just on Mac, but also on iPhone and iPad. The nice folks over at OneCast provided us with a review code and after some extensive testing, here are my results.

First let us talk about the installation of both. Anyone with a Mac knows what to expect and there are no issues to be expected. Installation went smoothly on both platforms and before I knew it, I was entering the set up of the programs already.

The Set up was something I would be finding myself going back to, I kept fiddling with the quality of streaming as this was most important. For my test, the Xbox 1 was connected to the Apple Time Capsule, specifically the 5GHz band. Both my MacBook Air and the iPad were connected to the 5GHz band.

First, the macbook air. I loved playing in the medium setting, for some reason the higher settings did not full do the trick. I played a variety of games and here are the issues encountered for each.

1. Yoku’s Island express, delays in audio only when playing at high, perfectly smooth on medium.
2. Darksiders Warmastered, medium again was perfect, pixelation visible on high
3. Galaga on games pass, played great on high and medium.
4. Disney’s Adventures, surprisingly laggy on high and completely normal on medium.

What I really enjoyed, being able to just play them when the TV was not available. Despite mostly being forced into the medium setting, I did not mind this one bit. It is great to be able to play anytime and anywhere in the house.

Next up, my tests for the iPad, which were a bit less good. I will not go into detail as I only had good results from the medium setting on my fourth-generation iPad Mini. The 2017 model, however, did improve the video quality remarkably and a lot of the graphics were surprisingly great at even the higher settings.

So how does it compare to the PS4 alternative?

Well, to do the comparison, we need to eliminate the price from the equation. Ps4 Remote play happens to be free while the OneCast apps are not. It could be construed as a downside, but let me tell you, the functionality of the app makes you ignore this.

My wife recently started working at the airport, so she is having real early hours and really late ones compared to my day shifts. This app is like godsend for anyone in my situation, when she goes to bed, I just go play elsewhere and not disturb her. The apps are decent enough to let you play intensively, though I do prefer playing on my MacBook Air.

In conclusion, OneCast is not the cheapest of apps, but it does provide a great alternative to being able to play when the TV is occupied or to avoid waking up someone by taking your MacBook to another room. I loved using it and will enjoy it a lot in the future.

How To Stream Xbox One To Mac Free

It's easy to start streaming your Xbox One gameplay to several platforms with Restream even if you don't have a capture card. To do this, you'll need to capture Xbox Companion App on your computer and stream it with any software, like OBS. It will allow you to add overlays to your stream, and also to stream to Restream to send your video to several platforms at once.

How to stream your Xbox One gameplay without a capture card

To begin, you need to enable streaming on your console. Go to Console Settings.

Next, navigate to Preferences - Xbox app connectivity.

For other devices enable streaming only from profiles signed in on this Xbox. Also, make sure to enable both streaming options on the right for this Xbox.

After doing that download and install an Xbox Console Companion App for your Windows computer. Log in to the same account you use on your console.

After logging in navigate to Connection and select your Xbox One. Press the Stream button on the top. A window with your console screen will be opened.

Note: You don't have to connect Xbox Gamepad to your PC. If you have a warning - just click Continue to avoid latency issues.

Add this window to OBS as a Screen capture or Window capture in your main OBS Sources area.

Note: for the best quality, both devices should be connected to the same network with Ethernet cables. Having them connected over WiFi may result in a quality loss.
