Xbox One will soon stream video to phones and tablets

The Xbox One wowed gamers and other living room dwellers when it came out, and a new update should cause a little more joy — and help Microsoft extend further into your media life.

Xbox One preview members will be able to stream video to Microsoft, Android, and iOS phones and tablets one they install Microsoft’s SmartGlass app on their home network. Mobile device users will be able to pause, play and rewind, and change channels without interrupting gameplay on the Xbox One, according to an Xbox blog post.
