    Netflix Voice Commands


    The newest update made voice commands all but unusable with Netflix. Formerly, I could say "Xbox Play" to advance to the next episode or to advance beyond the "Continue Watching" screen when it popped up. Now it requires you to actually say "Continue
    Watching" rather than "play," but does not accept "Xbox Continue Watching" as a command. Currently, I have to say "Xbox Select (wait for the onscreen commands to populate) Continue Watching." It also no longer accepts "Xbox Pause". It's gotten to the point
    where I just don't even use the kinect/voice commands anymore and keep turning my controller back on to navigate netflix. I used to be able simply say "xbox pause" when going to the kitchen or the restroom and "xbox play" when I returned to the TV. I no longer
    have this convenience and have to look for and turn on the controller.

    Anniversary update broke the Netflix voice commands

    The Netflix voice commands are not working in Netflix since the update. Voice works everywhere else. This isn't the first time an update has done this to Netflix on my system. Is anyone using voice successfully in Netflix since the update?

    Voice command usability

    How on earth do you get to "Queue" in hulu with voice commands?

    Between this and Netflix, the voice command experience has been absolutely destroyed.

    Netflix voice commands

    This is ridiculous. My voice commands work to some degree but not nearly as well as they worked a few patches ago.

    This just seems like the Microsoft way. They were ahead of the game with the Kinect but caved to social media.

    They had voice-recognition early on but instead of making it better, they've made it worse. And now the world is moving to Voice Commands and they're going away from them.

    Netflix has notoriously been a **** user interface when it came to the Xbox One and even worse when you tried to use voice control. I don't blame Microsoft for that. Amazon can work for a bit, but when you try to use the Confirm Screen "Yes/Cancel", you're
    stuck unless you have your controller out.

    You killed gestures. You've wrecked Voice Control. This was my first foray into the Xbox side of things (had a PS3 before my XBOne) and it looks like it will be my last. And yes, I tried "Cortana". Sad, sad. Disabled it after about a week of frustration.

    Still no voice commands with Netflix!

    Well its about time somebody took responsibility for this! This is the very first time anyone has tried to explain this! So should those of us needing or wanting to use voice commands switch over to Cortana for good? This will take some getting used to for
    those that have used the Kinect voice commands for years. I'm certainly willing to try to retrain myself to use Cortana if need be. And finally thank you for finally giving an understandable explanation for this problem. Saying that I fully expect Xbox to
    get back to being able to use voice commands in all areas sooon.
    Any news here?
