About Xbox Console Companion

While we Mac users have long awaited Microsoft to give us an official Xbox app for MacOS (much like the Windows 10 version), I have been trying to find a way to emulate the Xbox app on Mac, for useful input into in-game text chat in games like Warframe when it can get very tiresome to use the app on a phone. The Xbox and the Mac are hooked up via ethernet/gigabit router though, so I haven't introduced wireless into it. After seeing this post i installed parallels.

The Xbox app brings together your friends, games, and accomplishments across Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. The best multiplayer gaming just got better. Join clubs – or create your own – where you can go to play and chat with friends and other gamers like you. Find games with like-minded players by checking Looking for Group posts, or post one that fits your own objectives and play style. Get instant access to chat, sharing, parties, Game DVR, and achievements across PC and Xbox One. Keep track of your game clips and screenshots and download them straight to your Windows 10 PC. Take the brakes off chat when you use a keyboard for messaging with friends on Xbox Live. Stream your favorite games and entertainment from Xbox One to a Windows 10 PC while using your Xbox One controller. Disclaimer: Broadband internet required (ISP fees apply). Xbox Live features only available with supported games. Online multiplayer (including streaming with multiplayer) and some features of Game DVR on Xbox One require Xbox Live Gold subscription (sold separately). Stream to one device at a time.

Boot Camp is a boot utility included with most Apple desktop and laptop products that allows users to install a Windows operating system alongside the native macOS/OS X operating system. Using Bootcamp is a relatively technical process and should probably only be undertaken by someone who understands the process.
