You can also connect it using a USB cable if the wireless method isn't working. Just plug one end into the controller and the other into the console. Easy as pie!

Easy peasy! Press the Xbox button on your controller to turn it on, then press the sync button on the console (located on the left side near the disc tray for the original Xbox One, or front right for the Xbox One S and X). Next, press and hold the sync button on your controller until the Xbox button flashes. They should pair automatically!
