How To Stream Xbox One To Mac Without One Cast Video
Unfortunately the only way to stream an Xbox to another device is if it is a Windows 10 device. Older versions of Windows, Chrome, IOS, Linux, or any other OS won't be able to do it at this time (as far as I know). Mac OS and iOS have the OneCast app now that can do this. Windows 10 have been able to stream Xbox One games to their computers for a long time, but there is no way to do this on macOS, at least not without a third-party tool. OneCast is just that tool. It allows you to stream games from your Xbox One console directly to your Mac, and it all seems surprisingly simple.

OneCast claims to be the world's first Xbox One game streaming client for macOS, offering Mac owners a taste of what Windows 10 users have had access to for some three years.
Previously, no company offered a solution for native streaming to Mac, meaning users had to rely on clunky workarounds like installing Windows 10 via Boot Camp or Parallels. These stopgaps were often buggy and failed to perform well enough to handle fast-paced games.
OneCast promises 1080p video throughput, 'extremely low lag' and support for either full-screen or windowed viewing modes. An Xbox wireless controller can be connected to the Mac via USB or Bluetooth after a firmware install, and the app supports multiple Xbox user profiles, making it simple to use different Xbox One consoles or gamertags.
In addition to streaming from an Xbox One to a Mac sharing the same wireless network, OneCast supports remote connectivity features that let users play games from anywhere with an internet connection. The company notes play anywhere functionality requires manual configuration of a network router, specifically port forwarding settings.
Why it took so long for a third-party firm to arrive at a Mac streaming solution remains unknown, but OneCast in a statement to The Verge said it conducted a 'clean room reverse engineering' of the Xbox One game streaming system to create its eponymous app. The software utilizes the same protocol used by Microsoft's official Windows client, meaning Mac owners can expect performance on par with a Windows 10 system.
OneCast is currently available as a two-week free trial, while the app is priced at $9.99 for a limited time. On April 1, regular pricing of $20 will go into effect.

- I don’t understand why anyone would want to do this, but then again I’m not one to play games non-stop anymore.
- Interesting concept.Who knows, Microsoft might sue them.
I don't get what the point of this is either. I use a PS4, and Sony's had Remote Play for a while where you can stream games to a Vita, Mac, or PC. Not sure why you would not use your console and stream to another device.I don’t understand why anyone would want to do this, but then again I’m not one to play games non-stop anymore.
I personally use it for remote play when not at home (requires setting up a DDNS and router with a DMZ). Also, if my wife or kids want to watch TV, I can still play. PS4 has had this for ever, including the ability to steam when not at home without needing a home VPN on Mac or PC. I run bootcamp on my Mac so I can stream my Xbox. Haha
