multitask

Hello Jon,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Unfortunately, that feature used to be supported by the "Snap" feature on the Xbox one. That feature has since been removed from the Xbox operating system to enhance system performance.

Hey there, t0ny!

I believe you may be talking about the new Xbox One update, correct? We’re taking the most popular multitasking experiences gamers are using today and building them directly into the Guide on a new start page. The updated guide is instantly accessible when
you press the Xbox button on a controller. From here you can get to the home page on the dashboard, your games and apps, store, most recently run experiences and Pins. This is also where you will get to and manage your key multi-tasking scenarios. Multi-tasking
on Xbox One is being redesigned around performance, reliability and customer flexibility. This means the legacy snap system will be replaced with an updated system designed around the Guide and the most common scenarios for music, achievement tracking, screen
shots, GameDVR, Cortana, and Beam Broadcasting. Instead of placing these experiences next to the game while playing, they will be accessible in the newly designed Guide and an overlay will be available to place where you like over your full screen game experience. We
value our fans’ opinions and want them to help shape the future of the Xbox experience, and we’ll continue to listen at
Xbox Feedback. This forum is for Microsoft Windows games, and we suggest users post in the section that most relates to what your question is about.

If you have any support issues we are able to assist with, please be sure to post up a new detailed thread in the proper forum so our community can work on helping you out. Thanks for understanding!

Yes, I am lazy because I want a new console that can multitask efficiently? If it can't multitask, isn't it just an Xbox 360 with some better hardware?

Controller, Halo 5, and Multitasking.

You're stuck with it if you stick with MS. Obviously the majority of insiders love it or it wouldn't exist. MS will always go with the majority IMO. I actually like the update but then I don't watch YouTube while I'm playing a game so there's that.
