# Better xCloud
Improve [Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud)](https://www.xbox.com/play/) experience.
Improve [Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud)](https://www.xbox.com/play/) experience on web browser.
The main target of this script is Android users, but it should work great on desktop too.

- Switch region of streaming server.
- Prefer IPv6 streaming server (might improve latency).
- Force HD stream by disabling bandwidth checking -> xCloud always tries to use the best possible quality.
- Skip Xbox splash video.
- Make the top-left dots icon invisible while playing. You can still click on it, but it doesn't block the screen anymore.
- Stretch video to full sctreen. Useful when you don't have a 16:9 screen.
- Adjust video filters (brightness/contrast/saturation).
- Hide footer and other UI elements.
- Reduce UI animations (the smooth scrolling cannot be disabled).
- Disable social features (friends, chat...).
- Disable xCloud analytics. The analytics contains statistics of your streaming session, so I'd recommend to enable analytics to help Xbox improve xCloud's experence in the future.

## How to use:
## How to use
1. Install [Tampermonkey extension](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) on suppported browsers. It's also available for Firefox on Android.
2. Install **Better xCloud**:
- [Directly on Github](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases/latest/download/better-xcloud.user.js)
@ -41,10 +42,20 @@ Other options (only do one of these):
- Add ` 36102dd3-6953-45f6-8b48-031fb95e0e0d` to become a Logitech G Cloud device.
- Add ` 0ed22b6f-b61d-41eb-810a-a1ed586a550b` to become a Razer Edge device.
## Tested on:
- Chrome on macOS.
- Firefox for Android with Tampermonkey add-on.
- *(NOT RECOMMENDED at the moment since its Userscript implementation is not working properly)* [Hermit Browser](https://hermit.chimbori.com) on Android. It supports custom User-Agent and has built-in Userscript support (premium features, only $7.99) so you don't have to install anything else. I built **Better xCloud** just so I could use it with Hermit.
## Compatibility
✅ = confirmed to be working
❓ = not yet tested
❌ = not supported (mostly because of lacking Userscript/extension support)
⚠️ = see custom notes
| | Desktop | Android | iOS |
|----------------------------------------|----------|------------------|-----|
| Chrome | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Firefox | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Edge | ❓ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Safari | ❓ | ❌ | ❓ |
| [Hermit](https://hermit.chimbori.com) | ❌ | ⚠️<sup>(1)</sup> | ❌ |
<sup>1</sup> NOT RECOMMENDED at the moment since its Userscript implementation is not working properly. Non-network related features (skip splash video, video settings...) still work. It's still my favorite app to play xCloud on because it's lightweight, supports both custom User-Agent and Userscript (premium features, only $7.99) without having to install anything else. I built **Better xCloud** just so I could use it with Hermit.
## FAQ
1. **Why is it an Userscript and not extension?**

That means Tampermonkey is not working properly. Please make sure you're using the latest version or switch to a well-known browser.
3. **Can I use this with the Xbox Android app?**
No you can't. You'll have to modidy the app.
No you can't. You'll have to modify the app.
4. **Will you able to enable "Clarity Boost" feature on non-Edge browsers?**
No. "Clarity Boost" feature uses an exclusive API (`Video.msVideoProcessing`) that's only available on Edge browser for desktop at the moment.
