When you have the large LCD screen that comes with the iMac, it's no surprise that you'd want to take advantage of it for such things as gaming or watching movies. If you want to connect your Xbox to your iMac to play your games on the large screen, it can be done. While it's a task that does require extra hardware, rest assured that if you follow instructions carefully, you can accomplish this task.

Step 1

Connect the mini display side of your mini-display-to-HDMI adapter to the back of your iMac.

  1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV. Open Control Center: On iPhone X or later or iPad with iPadOS 13 or later: Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On iPhone 8 or earlier or iOS 11 or earlier: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
  2. You will notice a blue screen on your Mac. This is because the display is to the cable. To fix this and get your Xbox 360 displaying on your Mac, go to the control option on your Elgato EyeTV.

Step 2

Connect the other side of the mini display cord to the corresponding port in your adapter box.

Step 3

Connect your HDMI cable from your Xbox HDMI port to the HDMI port of your adapter.

Step 4

Mac

Plug in the adapter box and turn on any power buttons, if applicable. Turn on the Xbox.
