Pair an Xbox One wireless controller with your Mac. Turn the Xbox controller on. Press and hold the Pairing button on the top edge of the controller until the Xbox logo blinks rapidly. Now, you don’t even need an Xbox to play Xbox games, thanks to recently beefed-up capacity for Xbox Cloud Gaming. I recently tested streaming games on a 13-inch MacBook Air from 2017 that.
AirServer transforms your Xbox One into an all-in-one AirPlay + Google Cast + Miracast receiver. New features include extended background audio support from all platforms, proper gaming keyboard-mouse and gamepad support for Windows devices.

“Great for demoing iOS apps, and a more professional feature set than...”
“AirServer for Mac, one of our favourite AirPlay receivers, features long-awaited HD recording with post processing filters.”
“What could be better than sending Temple Run or Angry Birds in Space to a large screen, competing side by side with a friend?”
“AirServer app clearly blows away all the competition.”
“With AirServer you can take advantage of the better audio and visuals of your Mac by using the app to transform it into a Apple TV type of device that can be used to stream audio and video.”
“AirServer is so easy to use, we wonder why Apple didn’t implement it themselves.”
“With AirServer running, you’ll see your Mac show up in your iPad’s AirPlay menu, and you can just select it to play back video, movies or games on the big screen. It even supports mirroring so you can use it with apps that don;t yet support AirPlay properly.”
