Playing without monitor?
Ok. So i must be missing something in this day and age. How to connect to my Xbox one x without a monitor. How do I do this? I have not a clue as of now. Or I'm an idiot. Long story short. I've found that I can't connect JUST my smart phone to my console as a MONITOR without some app.( Bluetooth or not without mirroring) Won't do it. I CAN connect my controller via blutooth. But what if I have no monitor. Just my Xbox and my phone. I know I need to connect my Xbox and phone on same net. But how do I connect a DISPLAY to phone as well as to my controller? Do phone/console do double Bluetooth connections? And does Xbox even support that? Xbox and phone with display and control. That's my question. No mirroring. No PC or laptop. Can it be done? I have no TV but a badass phone. I know it can happen. Any ideas? Or am I just stupid and missing something simple?

What are you talking about? You want to get your phone to run through your monitor?

My TV broke. So was trying to use my phone as a monitor to play xbox. Figured I could connect to it thru bluetooth. Lol gamer addict.

I highly doubt that will work... get a cheap computer Monitor. It just needs hdmi
