## How to install
|
||||
1. Install [Tampermonkey extension](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) on suppported browsers.
|
||||
For Safari, use the [Userscripts extension](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/userscripts/id1463298887) (check [this page](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/wiki/Using-with-Safari) before using).
|
||||
2. Install **Better xCloud**:
|
||||
- [Stable version](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases/latest/download/better-xcloud.user.js)
|
||||
<!-- - [Dev version](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/raw/main/better-xcloud.user.js)-->
|
||||
I only distribute **Better xCloud** on GitHub, *DO NOT* download it on other websites or from unknown sources.
|
||||
3. Refresh [xCloud web page](https://www.xbox.com/play/).
|
||||
4. Click on the new "SERVER NAME" button next to your profile picture to adjust settings.
|
||||
|
||||
To update manually, just install the script again (you won't lose your settings).
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️⚠️⚠️ If you're using Kiwi Browser on Android, make sure to follow the steps correctly and install the script with Tampermonkey (not installing it as an extension), or else it won't work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compatibility
|
||||
- 👍 = best choice, all features work as intended
|
||||
- ✅ = confirmed to be working, might miss some features
|
||||
- ❌ = not supported (mostly because of lacking Userscript/extension support)
|
||||
- ➖ = unavailable
|
||||
- 🗒️ = see custom notes

Don't see your browser in the table? If it supports Tampermonkey/Userscript then the answer is likely **"YES"**.
|
||||
|
||||
<sup>1</sup> Follow [this guide](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android) to install Tampermonkey on Firefox Android. Its Gamepad API doesn't work properly so it might not recognize your controller.
|
||||
<sup>2, 3</sup> Requires [Userscripts app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/userscripts/id1463298887) (free & open-source). Check [this page](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/wiki/Using-with-Safari) before using.

- **Kiwi Browser** is the best choice on Android. All features work, it means you can get 1080p stream + high-quality codec profile (the best possible quality).
|
||||
- **Better xCloud** also works on Android TV, but you'll have to sideload the browser APK and need a Bluetooth mouse if you want to interact with the Settings.

8. **What's the meaning behind the name "Better xCloud"?**
|
||||
It's a reference to an Userscript called "better360" that I created many years ago. I regret not choosing the name "xCloud Enhancement Suite", or XES for short.
