If you're someone who likes the idea of using Project xCloud to play games on your phone while also watching Netflix on your Xbox One, you might have run into an issue - your Gamertag can only be signed into one of those devices at a time, meaning you have to make a choice between one or the other.
Fortunately, it looks like that's all about to change. According to a report from Windows Central, Microsoft will soon lift this restriction, allowing you to sign into multiple devices simultaneously.
We still don't have much concrete information about how and when this will be implemented as of yet, but the outlet says it will happen "soon" - and although you'll still only be able to play games on one device at a time, you'll be able to use other apps such as Netflix, Disney+ and more to watch TV while you play.
Excited about this? Have you faced this issue when using xCloud? Let us know in the comments.

This would be handy & necessary if you plan on using XCloud.
You don't need to be signed in to use Netflix so it isn't the best example. I don't know about Disney.
This is fantastic considering I ran into this issue just the other day!
The only problem I see with this is it will be easier for hackers to steal accounts without the owner noticing. When I had my XBLA account stole years ago that's how I knew it was compromised cause I couldn't sign into my Xbox 360.
Great news, it will stop my wife kicking me out of xCloud games when she turns on the xbox to watch netflix.
