"Try to get a Windows computer to do that with an Xbox without at least an hour of Googling and shady streaming software."
My TV has Miracast, which is natively supported by my Android and Windows PCs and casting on the TV is literally a button away, but neither my iPhone nor my Mac supports ... and Miracast is a better technology.

As an aside I'd also highly recommend "Sofaplay" which is by far the easiest way I've found to beam video to my Samsung Smart TV from my MBP. Literally "just works" dragging a file onto a drop-target. Does the transcoding and everything with '0' fuss.
- WorldMaker 10y agoXbox One has built-in Miracast support, too. There's a free Miracast app on the Xbox One to receive Miracast and stream it to your TV. (The app is called something like "Wireless Streaming", published by Microsoft themselves. I don't think they currently bundle it onto the Xbox out of the box, but they should.)
