Honestly the best video on this subject. Thank you!!!

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Glad that you liked it.

[@TheChild888]

Good looking out! Don't have a XSX my self, but this does go a long way for me for my Steam Deck OLED unit with Xbox gaming. Now just need to subscribe to the Game Pass...

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Yeah it is really great. You can just subscribe for one month to Game Pass Ultimate and see how that works for you.

[@SebastianGMSFB]

It's honestly very incredible how modern portable gaming handheld devices can play games made for powerful consoles like the Xbox One! Let alone the Xbox Series X|S? Technology has truly advanced throughout the second-half of the 2010s, that's for very sure!

[@dezzy76]

The clearest instruction video ever, I got this up and running perfectly on my SD, it wouldn't run at first, but I double checked the text strings for Konsole Command and Launch Options (check all spaces and characters are exact), I made a couple of changes and it worked. I also added the Xbox Icon, banner and capsules from the Microsoft support page to finish it off, it looks great and works great. I can even play Fifa 23 on it now!

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Nice. Great that it works. Have fun :-)

[@igb2904]

thank you. easy guide. works :)

Glad that it work so well for you.

Merci beaucoup ça marche

[@Ticklepete]

The control won’t connect for me for some reason, worked fine on non OLED but just got new one and it won’t work. Used to be able press the three lines button and it would sync up, any ideas? Everything is set up the exact same way

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Hey. I've just tested it on my OLED and everything worked fine. Did you select Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad under templates and then selected APPLY CONFIGURATION (see at 2:17 in the video)?

[@Lets-Do-Stuff]

Having issues with the controler. My steamdecks controls dont work for anygame do i have to use a separate controller? Somebody else got it to work i just cant (ive tried both browser and play modes)

[@Lets-Do-Stuff]

EDIT: found the problem... If you hold down the start button it will change the controls from "desktop" to "gamepad" and vis versa.

[@steamdeckstreaming]

ok cool thanks :) Glad that it is working now.

[@drewoo_]

Do you have to connect a separate controller for this to work? Xcloud doesn't recognize my steam deck as a controller input

[@steamdeckstreaming]

No it works with the steam deck as a controller. Here 02:12 I explain how to use it. What browser are you using for this?

[@drewoo_]

@@steamdeckstreaming looks like it was just the desktop mode that was giving me trouble. I switched back to gaming module and tried it and it works. Idk, just glad it works lol. Thanks

[@steamdeckstreaming]

ok very good. Have fun.@@drewoo_

[@slumppednova]

Could you do a copy and paste on the launch options I accidentally deleted the whole thing cause I don’t have a keyboard and miuse

[@slumppednova]

@@robertmorris322 you did something wrong then fam , trace back your steps

[@whylekat]

How do i copy the code from the youtube description and paste it on the Steamdeck?

[@steamdeckstreaming]

I would open this KZbin video on your Steam Deck in desktop mode (through your browser) and copy it from there.

[@maryjoycedelossantos3909]

Can i use my subscription on pc game pass to my steamdeck?

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Not like shown in the video, because I think pc game pass doesn't have streaming included. The only thing you could do is install windows on the Steam Deck and use PC Game Pass like this.

[@ghostgamingxd7881]

worked for me! but controller not working

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Hey. I've just tested it on my OLED and everything worked fine. Did you select Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad under templates and then selected APPLY CONFIGURATION (see at 2:17 in the video)?

[@saints3328]

Problem its not working for me… I have a white page when going into gaming mode telling me : -window-size=1024… server ip is not found Any idea how to solve, I’ve already tried to start again the manipulation

[@steamdeckstreaming]

There needs to be a space before --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 As you can see at 1:55 in the video.

When I tried this and hit 'Play" I just got a white screen that I can't get out of?

[@Lets-Do-Stuff]

Hit L5 (the bumbers on the back) you can then exit out of the window!!

[@jawnvirden1006]

​​@@Lets-Do-Stuff Thanks! I ended up just forcing a shut down and then went into Game Mode and it worked fine. If it happens again I'll be sure to try this! Edit: accidentally opened this using my alt account lol

When I click on play , nothing loads up. Any idea ?

Hey. What exactly does not work?

[@iandykes5411]

It just takes you to a broken page @@steamdeckstreaming

[@naterod]

Hopefully it’s as seamless and GeForce now

[@steamdeckstreaming]

I haven't got around to test GeForce now on the Steam Deck. How is it?

[@naterod]

@@steamdeckstreaming it’s best to use it docked. Simply because it’s just a saved web page so often times controller inputs are wonky. There are community profiles that sometimes work. I have really good internet so there almost no lag whatsoever. It’s better than gamepass cloud streaming by a mile but even ps plus streaming is better than that for some reason at least in my experience. I keep it simply because of there’s a game that’s hosted on GeForce and is also a game that may be too taxing on the deck, I just play it via GeForce now. Like Starfield. I think I was getting 80-90 FPS using my tv and docked.

[@naterod]

@@steamdeckstreaming I can’t even reply anymore

[@naterod]

@@steamdeckstreaming anyways, there’s community profiles that will enable controller input but it leaves a lot to be desired. I also may have messed up some coding when I was adding the page to the steam library. So mainly when I use GeForce I use it docked with M/KB. It’s mainly for games that are too taxing on the deck like Starfield. I have ultimate so I get the 4080 server blades and all the bells and whistles on Nvidia newest suite of goodies in the new cards. GeForce is absolutely the best in the industry when it comes to cloud gaming.

[@steamdeckstreaming]

@@naterod why?

[@williamrobertson9418]

When I push play it doesn't load anything

Mine too, found a solution?

wont let me log into it. wont show keyboard in desktop mode

[@steamdeckstreaming]

Have you tried steam button + x to bring up the keyboard in desktop mode?

[@paid2324]

Xcloud or gamepass?

[@steamdeckstreaming]

You need Game Pass Ultimate to use Xcloud. This video is about streaming via Xcloud.

Great but no keyboard pull up

When in game mode, can you use headphones and check if they work?

@@steamdeckstreaming nah it's still muted, you think it's because I have the old one?

​No, I don't think thats the problem. For me it worked with the old and the new one. Does this problem only happen when you try to play game pass games? @@TheDamienBlack
