How to Use Xbox One Wireless Display: Setup & Casting Guide

The Xbox One Wireless Display app lets you mirror your Windows PC or Android phone screen to your console using Miracast, turning your TV into a large display for apps, media, and PC games. To use Xbox One wireless display, both your console and source device must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and the source must support Miracast, iPhone and other iOS devices are not compatible.

What you need for Xbox One wireless display

Before you start, confirm your equipment meets these core requirements. Your Xbox One console must have the Wireless Display app installed. The source device must support Miracast; iOS does not support Miracast. Both devices need to be connected to the same wireless network. Note that iPhone and other iOS devices do not support Miracast, so they cannot connect using this app.

Setting up the Wireless Display app on your Xbox One

Complete these steps on your Xbox One first. The Wireless Display app must be open and running on the console before you try to connect from another device.

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
Go to My games & apps > See all > Apps.
Select Wireless Display from the list of installed apps. If it is not installed, download it from the Microsoft Store.
Launch the app and leave it running on your Xbox One screen while you set up your source device.

Connecting your Windows PC to Xbox One

You can mirror a Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC using either of these two methods. Both require your PC to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the Xbox One and the Wireless Display app to be open on the console.

Open Action Center on your PC (click the speech bubble icon on the taskbar).
Select Expand to show all quick actions, then click Connect.
From the list of detected devices, choose your Xbox One console. The name of your console will appear on screen.

Alternatively, press Windows key + P on your keyboard, then choose Connect to a wireless display at the bottom of the projection menu. Select your Xbox One from the device list. On Windows 10, open Action Center > Expand > Connect, then select the Xbox when it appears. You can also use Windows key + P and choose Connect to a wireless display.

Connecting your Android device to Xbox One

Android devices that support Miracast can mirror their screen using Smart View or a similar casting tile. Steps may vary slightly by manufacturer, but the general process is the same.

Swipe down from the top of your Android phone or tablet to open the quick settings panel and tap Smart View.
Look for the Smart View tile (some devices label it Cast or Screen Mirroring). Tap it.
Your device will scan for available receivers. When your Xbox One appears in the list, tap its name to start mirroring.

What you can do with a mirrored screen

Once connected, your Xbox One acts as a Miracast receiver for screen projection. You can view apps, browse photos, watch videos, and stream content from your phone or PC. For Windows users, the Wireless Display app also supports streaming PC games to the Xbox One, letting you play on the TV. However, mouse and keyboard input are not supported on the console side for this use, you will need wireless gaming controllers or the Xbox controller to interact with streamed games.

Troubleshooting connection problems

If your source device does not appear or the connection fails, try these verified fixes in order.

If the device does not appear, confirm the Xbox Wireless Display app is open on the console.
Confirm both devices are on the same wireless network.
Confirm the source device supports Miracast; iPhone/iOS does not.
If connecting from Windows, try Action Center > Expand > Connect or Windows key + P > Connect to a wireless display.
Verify both devices are connected to the same wireless network.
Ensure your source device supports Miracast. iPhone and other iOS devices do not support Miracast, so they will never appear as selectable options.
