    Friends still seeing I'm online when I'm signed out of the Xbox App


    I got tired of getting spammed with party invites and messages on the Xbox App, and wanted my friends to stop seeing me online for a while, so I made myself appear offline, and signed out of the Xbox App, but they still know when Im on my Windows 10 PC,
    even though they shouldn't be able to.

    :)

    Xbox saying I'm offline when I'm in game but online when I'm not.

    Hi,

    Let's isolate your concern by gathering the following information:

    1. Is this issue happening with other non-Call of Duty games?

    2. Is this issue happening with other Xbox Profiles?

    3. May we have the exact error message prompted?

    Make sure to check the status of Xbox Live and Activision for any service alerts. To proceed, check out the following links:

    Xbox Live Service Status

    Activision Support Online Services

    Also, check the status of your Xbox Live Gold Membership by clicking this
    link
    and see if it's in good standing. Sign in with your Microsoft account.

    In addition, we recommend removing and re-adding your Xbox Profile on the Xbox One that may help resolve profile issues in a game. To proceed, click this

    link
    and perform the steps provided. Make sure to restart the Xbox One before re-adding your Xbox Profile.

    Keep us posted.

    Xbox saying I'm offline when I'm in game but online when I'm not.

    So, this primarily happens when I'm in game on Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered, however this still happens on Infinite Warfare - I appear offline when playing in Matches (I didn't set my self offline as my status message) as soon as I get out of the
    match I appear back online. During this time of me being offline I don't receive any invites, not notifications, I also can't record using encoded software for xbox. This all appeared out of no where, I've tried setting myself offline the online to see if
    that works, I've tried to update but it doesn't allow me to update. If anyone can help me that would be fantastic, thank you for your time.

    Friends still seeing I'm online when I'm signed out of the Xbox App

    Hi NickG2002,

    Appearing your account profile as Offline should help you inform your friends that you're not available. However, there are cases that you're still showing as online on some of your friends which could possibly due to signing in the account on other devices.
    Since you already set your Xbox profile to appear Offline, I recommend that you hide your online status by changing your privacy settings. To get started, kindly perform the following steps below:

    1. Sign in your account on this link. Provide the security code needed to access your Privacy and Online Safety Settings.
    2. Under Privacy Tab, change the setting under "See if you're online (Xbox 360: Online Status)".

    You can change this setting anytime if you wish to play with your friends and inform that you're online.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reply to this post anytime.

    My XBL connection keeps "skipping" when playing online. HELP

    Also, whenever I log in when I start my xbox, it signs me back out for some reason. It says I'm logged in and have "xxxxx friends online" and then I go to see and it says I am not even signed in. Basically, it makes me sign in twice.

    Appear online from PC?

    Yes, if you have the Xbox One console friends on the 360 can see your online status, not what you're doing though. I don't believe friends can see your online status when on a phone or PC and I'm not sure if the windows games app will be any different.

    Turn off notification when friends launch the xbox app

    In my case it's not that I'm getting notifications, that's no big deal and I do want them. The issue is since they "fixed" whatever they "fixed" it is flat out spamming people notifications now where it did not before. You'd get a single notification before that somebody was online and now it spams you when they sign on the console, spams you when they sign onto the Xbox App (I want to add it NEVER alerted me when somebody was on the Xbox App before, only alerted to them signing into the consoles) and spams you when they come back from being idle on one or both even if they are already showing as online. I'm getting spammed alerts to people I'm playing online with that they are signing online where it didn't do that before either. I'm getting extra alerts too it seems because I still have the Console Companion app installed (for reasons) and it's alerting me in the Xbox App (both PC and mobile), Game Bar and Console Companion on top of my console (my Xbox 360 in this case as I don't have any Xbox console beyond that), not just 1 of them. I'm getting alerts of people signing in on all of those at the same time and it's rather annoying.

    These alerts may be back again but whatever they did broke something else in the process.
