  3. Press and release the console’s connect button.
  4. Within 20 seconds, hold the controller’s connect button until the Xbox button flashes quickly, then turns solid.

Description from the creator

Hi, this 'How To' video shows you how to sync your Xbox One controller to your Xbox One.
There are three ways that you can connect your controller:

•Using the console’s connect button
•Using Kinect (requires Kinect sensor)
•Using a USB to micro-USB cable.

1. Turn on your Xbox One console.
2. Insert 2 new AA batteries into the controller.
3. Turn on your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button until the controller turns on. The Xbox button will pulse, indicating it’s not yet connected to the console. If the Xbox button is lit solid, then the controller is already connected.
4.Press and release the connect button on the console.
5.Within 20 seconds, press and hold the connect button on the controller until the controller’s Xbox button quickly flashes a few times, indicating that it’s searching for the console. It then switches to a solid light when it's connected.
Your controller is now connected to your console. Repeat this procedure for every extra controller that you want to add.
Many thanks Vince
