The Sling TV app is another top contender for best streaming app for Xbox One. This is a very competent subscription service that offers live TV, sports, TV shows, movies and more from some of the largest networks from as little as $25 a month. You can connect the Apple Tv to the HDMI Input on the Xbox One, and when you turn it on its image should appear on the Xbox's main screen for you to select. The slowness or lag should only affect really fast paced games. Movies and regular videos should not have any noticeable difference. The Apple TV app features access to original TV productions, digital movies, and more, through its Apple TV+ subscription service. Should it eventually roll out to all Xbox consoles, it would.
A new app has just launched on the Xbox One that allows users to project media from their Apple devices to Microsoft’s video game console. Named, AirServer, the app acts in a similar way to Apple’s own Apple TV hardware and can pick up Apple AirPlay requests. This means that media being played on an iPhone can be sent wirelessly to play on an Xbox One or the entire desktop visual on a Mac can be mirrored on a TV.

This is extremely pricey for an app with such limited usage no matter how practical it may be. The app is currently selling with a $10 discount as part of a special launch promotion but this offer will expire later today. Still, those who are heavy Apple users may want to take advantage of this offer while they can.
Here’s the official app description:
