This makes it easier to log into services, search Bing, and browse Internet Explorer versus using a controller.įuture development promises additional screen-to-screen interaction in games and other media. One of my favorite features is the full keyboard. So you can do things like track and compare game achievements, change your avatar, edit your profile, and message Xbox friends. It also has the same features as its younger brother - the My Xbox Live app. Now you can use it to navigate your Xbox 360 apps, control music and video playback, search the Xbox Catalog, and more. Then give a couple of seconds to connect. Remember to use the ID associated with your Xbox account. Then type in your Microsoft account credentials. Power on your console and then launch the app on your device. On your console, go to Settings > System > Console Settings > Connected Devices and make sure Xbox SmartGlass Apps are set to On. Using Xbox SmartGlass with iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch You’ll also need an Xbox Live membership. However, it’s not optimized for the iPhone 5’s 4-inch display. It does work with Apple devices running iOS 5 and higher.

So keep in mind that your mileage will vary depending on the version of Android you’re running. I tried to get it on my Nexus 7 - running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - but it’s not compatible with it either. Note: At the time of this writing, the SmartGlass app only works on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich devices. Recently it was released for iOS and Android devices. Previously I showed you how to use the SmartGlass app on Windows 8 to stream music to the console. Windows 8 has a new feature that lets you control your Xbox 360 from your PC or tablet with the SmartGlass App.
