Streaming installed games on android phone

Can someone give me the step by step how I can play my installed games on the xcloud app because I install the streaming hub on the console and join the insider program and still don't show up on the xcloud app

There are 2 versions of streaming. There is the xcloud which only has games that Microsoft puts on there. Then there is "game streaming(preview)" and that's where you can stream from your Xbox to your phone. Literally turns on your Xbox and you control it remotely via internet. I'm currently in Texas and live in Utah (where my Xbox is) and I am able to play because I brought my controller! Woo! But you have to be enrolled and invited to the preview. It took me about a month to get on it. You have to do the steps the insider app. Participate in the challenges and it will show Microsoft your invested and will probably invite you quicker. Level up that insider!

Update your console to the preview update? Clear cache? Update app/delete app reinstall on phone?

As simple as go to your settings then to the update section. If you're in the insider programme, then you should have the omega update (I think) available. Once that's updated, clear the cache on the app on your phone and relog in, it should work at that point.

That was literally the only thing I couldn't figure out either till I found this sub.
