How to Control with TV Remote Xbox Series X (HDMI-CEC Turn ON)

You can use your TV remote to control your Xbox Series X by enabling HDMI-CEC on both your TV and Xbox. HDMI-CEC is a relatively new technology that allows devices to communicate over HDMI for adjusting TV controls, interacting with apps, and so on. For Xbox, it allows you to control the entire dashboard, as well as use media controls in apps like KZbin and the Blu-ray player. Here are the basic steps to enable HDMI-CEC on your TV and Xbox:
Enable HDMI-CEC on your TV:
Press the home button on your TV remote, or the settings button if one is available.
Look for a setting that refers to HDMI-CEC or external device control.
Once you have enabled HDMI-CEC features on your TV, you should be able to enable remote control on your Xbox console.
Enable HDMI-CEC on your Xbox:
Open the Xbox menu using the Xbox button on your controller.
Navigate right until you find Settings.
Navigate down to Devices & connections.
Select Remote features.
If it’s not already enabled, select Enable remote features.
Once you have enabled HDMI-CEC on both your TV and Xbox, you should be able to control your Xbox using your TV remote

Mine had been working up until 3-4 days ago. No clue as to why it’s not working now as I was out of town.

The last XBOX update screwed up the HDMI-CEC functionality on the Series S & X. That's why your remote isn't working on your TV. Hopefully Microsoft will get this fixed soon.

@@williamcopeland2617​​⁠I’ve had my Xbox Series X since early 2022 and HDMI-CEC has never worked on it to where my TV remote can control my Xbox. Whereas, SIMPLINK on my PS5 *(that’s what HDMI-CEC is called on PS5)* has always worked.

Like i have really failed to share my games with a friend after adding him as a family member

This is cool but still doesn't navigate the menu with TV remote, like literally every other device. I think Microsoft screwed up with this one.
