How to Copy and Paste on Xbox One: Everything You Need to Know
Microsoft has programmed the Xbox One controller to function somewhat like a mouse and keyboard or touchscreen, allowing users to copy/paste text when filling out text boxes. You can also connect an external USB device (keyboard) for those who prefer not to use their fingers; however, you have another option that will be more convenient connected through Bluetooth technology. In this article, we will walk you through how users can copy and paste text when filling out text fields on Xbox One.
Steps to Copy & Paste on Xbox One
- First, you will need to open the text field that you wish to copy text from. To do this, simply: Navigate to the text field using your controller and press the “Menu”
- Once you have opened the text field, use your controller’s joystick or d-pad to highlight the text that you wish to copy.
- Once you have highlighted the desired text, press the “Menu” button again and select “Copy.”
- Now that you have copied the text, navigate to the text field where you would like to paste it and press the “Menu” button once again.
- This time, however, select “Paste” from the menu. The copied text should now be entered into the new text field!

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but Microsoft has been working on a new keyboard. It’s designed to work with the Xbox One and it’s pretty cool. You can use it to control your console without ever having to take your hands off the game controller.
I know what you’re thinking: who cares? I don’t need a keyboard. I can just use my controller. But trust me, this thing is different. It’s got a really responsive design and it’s perfect for gaming. Plus, it makes typing out messages or searching for something on YouTube a lot easier.

I was scrolling through my Xbox app, looking for a game to play when I saw that someone was streaming from their computer. I clicked on the link and saw that they were using the keyboard to copy/paste stuff from a text file.
I was curious about how this worked, so I connected my Bluetooth keyboard to my Xbox and started streaming myself. I quickly typed out a WTS post with 5 [riven mod] and hit enter.
The response was amazing! Within seconds, I had multiple bids and ended up selling all of them for way more than I would have gotten if I had used the controller.

I downloaded the Xbox app on Windows 10. I was very happy to be able to play my games again. I opened the app and signed in, but then it said “This app is not available on your platform”. I was so confused. Why would Microsoft make an Xbox app that doesn’t work on Windows 10? I did some research and found that the Xbox app does indeed work on Windows 10, but you need to change some settings in the registry. I changed the settings and alt! The Xbox app worked perfectly. So now I can copy and paste different text on Xbox using my PC.
