    Hey Cortana "Record That" takes up too much space


    Hey there Microsoft - Never mind the fact that it takes too long to say "Hey Cortana, Record That" - gone are the days when one could say "Xbox, Record That" - but it used to be that Cortana really only took up a little slice of screen when she popped up
    to do my bidding.

    Now, she pops up on about a third of the screen, and interrupts my game play. Not EXACTLY what I'd call user friendly. The biggest problem for me is that I used to use this to snap quick clips of my game time, but now that she breaks my game to do so, I
    find it leaves me open to a variety of online gaming pitfalls like vulnerability to enemies, or crashing various vehicles....

    can we go back to using the "record that" feature without her taking up so much screen real estate, or interrupting my games?

    oh, and hey Microsoft: Can we get to where Cortana is just "Cortana" and not "Hey Cortana?" I mean - it worked for "Xbox voice" and works fine for Alexa...

    Thanks.

    :)

    Hey cortana: record that

    Ever since the new ui update, whenever I record a clip, a big dialogue box pops up and doesn't allow me to interact with my game (diablo 3 in this case), until it is done recording. Before the update, it would record while I played. I don't see any setting
    to change it to go back to the way it was before.

    Can't record

    Try the following things please:

    If you have Cortana set up - "Hey Cortana, Record that" or "Hey Cortana, take a screenshot" (can be used with Kinect or a headset)

    If you use Xbox commands - "Xbox Record That" or "Xbox take a screenshot" (used with Kinect only)

    Press the Guide button on your controller and select X or Y to take a screenshot or recording

    Updates taking up too much space

    In addition to onyx:

    The ui updates do not sum up but replace the previous one each time. So you do not lose the storage space on your internal drive on the ui updates. So there is no reason to be upset about this ;)

    Also the games needs to be installed on the harddrive as an optical device is lots slower than a hard disk, so not having them installed will end up in lags and pauses in the game play for loading reasons. Remember there are lots more of data to be transferred
    then on the good old 360.

    Updates taking up too much space

    buying a hard drive just ensure you more space makes xbox one a rip off product secretly microsoft signed some agreement where the xbox one requires a external hard drive to play more games & the updates are pathetic they don't even compress anything & how
    many updates we get with all the reamiaining unfixed, bugs, & things they don't care to fix is more pathetic.
