Xbox remote play capability enables you to play video games on your laptop or in another room while someone else controls the television set with the remote control.

With a strong internet connection and an appropriate controller, you will be able to play games remotely on your Windows 10 PC without experiencing any difficulties.

Cloud streaming, on the other hand, is only available to those who have purchased Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

You do not need to have a membership in order to use the remote play feature. In addition to the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles, the older Xbox One consoles are also capable of supporting these capabilities.

Users may have complete control over their Xbox gaming experience by using Remote Play.

It is a fantastic tool that enables players to personalize their gaming experience to their liking.

If, on the other hand, you find that Xbox remote play is not working, you may never get to enjoy that pleasure. In addition, we want you to be completely pleased.

In this article, we will be talking about how to fix the Xbox remote play black screen issue.

Why does Xbox Remote play black screen occur

The Xbox remote play black screen error occurs due to some software issues with your console, it’s not set up correctly or because of connectivity issues. 

The challenges that you have been experiencing are most likely due to one or more of the following concerns.

In the first instance, and possibly the most prevalent, it is just a case of someone not setting up their television properly, rather than anything more nefarious taking place behind the scenes. However, there are further factors to consider.

Some users of the Xbox Insider program have experienced this when they have received a new software update that has not been thoroughly vetted, resulting in them being plunged into darkness for an extended period of time.

Others have reported that a bug in the loading of the Xbox dashboard is to blame. In addition, there have been suspicions that it is related to the Xbox Live outages.

What is known is that there does not seem to be a conclusive rationale for the situation.

Whatever the root cause of your particular problem is, the actions outlined below are your best hope for resolving it.

Check to see that you haven’t forgotten to turn on the television. Reset the console by pressing the reset button on the controller. Then we’ll hope for the best.

Fix: Xbox Remote Play Black Screen

Method 1: General Fixes

In order to resolve the black screen that appears after the starting issue, you may attempt a variety of alternative possible solutions.

Which one is most effective will be determined by the specific nature of the problem. However, the following are our top recommendations:

• Basic troubleshooting

Start by checking to see if there is a problem with the connection between your Xbox app and gaming console.

Although it may seem foolish, it is worthwhile to go through the actions outlined below, which are advised by Microsoft:

• Double-check that your television and console are both switched on.

Double-check that your television is set to the proper input signal (HDMI). Additionally, ensure that the HDMI cable connections between your console and your television are secure.

• Use remote play on a different device

Attempt to connect your Xbox remote play to a different device. Then see if the remote play runs on the new device or not.

• Turn off your system

Turning off and on your system is as simple as pressing and holding the Xbox button for 10 seconds till the device turns off and then turns back on.

Method 2: Hard Reset Your Xbox

Occasionally, the starting procedure might take longer than expected — in rare situations, as long as 10 minutes in specific circumstances.

However, if you are still having trouble after ten minutes, you should try doing a console reset, which may be accomplished by following the instructions outlined below:

• Step 1: Unplug Network Cord

If you’re connecting to a network through a wired connection, unplug the network cord. Unplug the power cable from your console once it has been shut off to verify that the console is entirely unplugged from the wall.

• Step 2: Unplug the power cable

Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds before plugging it back in.

• Step 3: Tap and Hold the Bind button

First, tap and hold the BIND button (found on the left side of the console) while simultaneously pressing and holding the EJECT button (placed on the front of the console). Then, hit the Xbox button on the console.

• Step 4: Keep Bind and Eject buttons pressed

Continue to hold down the BIND and EJECT buttons for another 10-15 seconds after that.

Keep an ear out for two “power-up” tones that are a couple of seconds apart. After the second power-up tone, you may depress the BIND and EJECT buttons to release them.

As the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition does not include an Eject button, you will need to press and hold the Xbox button as well as the Bind button in order to remove the disc from the system.

We’re hoping that doing so would enable your Xbox to resume in a low-resolution mode (640480). You may then restore it by following the methods outlined below:

• Step 5: Navigate to the system

Video output may be found under System > Settings > Display & sound.

In most cases, following these instructions will resolve the black screen problem on your Xbox One. However, if this is not the case, the next step is to contact Xbox support for more help.
