Xbox One November System Update: New Personalization and TV Features

...and here's the vid with highlights:

• Show Who You Are – We’re including some of the top fan requested features this month. Among them is the ability to customize the background on your Xbox One, show off your top achievements and share game clips in new ways.
  • Custom Backgrounds – For the first time, each account on your Xbox One can have a customized background. You can choose a custom color as a theme or achievement art as your background image and those will show on any Xbox One that you Sign
    In on with your account. Additionally, you can use the Media Player app to pick any JPG or PNG image off of a USB attached drive or a home media server that supports DLNA. While viewing a picture/photo in full screen mode, press the Menu button and choose
    “Set as background” – your custom image is stored locally on that Xbox One console.
    
  • Gamer Profile – You can now share your location and bio as part of your profile. You can set these options on your Xbox One console and use Xbox One SmartGlass to browse to other people’s profiles and check out their showcase items. Additionally,
    you can now select a set of showcase items that are displayed when other gamers look at your profile on an Xbox One console. You can use Xbox One SmartGlass or Xbox One console to add or remove up to six game clips or achievements that will be displayed in
    a carousel format.
  • Tweet about your Favorite Game Clips – You can now share your favorite Xbox One game clips with your followers on Twitter. Use the Share button on any game clip you have created and select Twitter to compose the Tweet.
    

• A New Way to Watch TV – For the first time, you can discover new shows and see what people are saying about them in real-time with new Live TV and Twitter integration.
  • Live TV Trending – Xbox One owners in the U.S., Canada and the UK, will see a new “Trending” tab in OneGuide that displays the top 20 most watched TV shows, with the list filtered down to the shows that are currently available to you based
    on your OneGuide settings. The Live TV on Xbox trending list is updated by the minute, so you can easily discover shows that are popular with other viewers.
    
  • Twitter TV Trending – Additionally, if you are in the U.S., you’ll see what Live TV is trending based on the highest number of tweets. The Trending tab in OneGuide is updated to display Live TV on Twitter first and Live TV on Xbox trending
    second. You can tune to a specific show from either trending list by pressing the A button.

    find game add-ons, perform store specific searches and recommendations are more prominently displayed. Finally, store categories have been standardized so you can easily see the top items in each query at a glance.

    sorted by anticipated release date.

• Other Fan Requested Features:
  • Snap IE – From the Address Bar in Internet Explorer, you can now easily snap from a full screen experience and move Internet Explorer into snap mode.
    
  • IE Featured sites – Now, Internet Explorer will show a number when something is newly-added to featured sites. Newly-added sites will also display a badge (denoted by an asterisk (*) in the upper right corner) until you launch them or seven
    days have passed since the site was added to the Featured list.
  • Restart now – If you want to restart your Xbox One console without getting out of your chair, you can now do it by going to “Power & startup” and choosing “Restart now.”

That's bc there is no confirmed date.. the update is currently in the puplic preview process, and will go out to everyone once that is done.. usually late november the updates come out.

 

October update

 

Sweet. NZ time is saturday 7.06 pm were having wisconsin for dinner will check it out look forward to dash background change and bios returning something mentioned for the November update usually xbox 1 system updates come out middle of the month its November
8th for me. O joy XD.

 

Where do you excately go to change your dashboard background to one of the achievement s you've unlocked?

 

Go to Settings >> My Xbox - you can pick between achievements, a color or importing one with Media Player

You can also just go directly to an achievement and Show Details - one of the options now is Set Background.

If your Xbox One hasn't automatically downloaded the November update yet (it's being rolled out), you can go to Settings >> System >> Update Console to start it right away. Have fun.

 

I've just finished uploading an approximately 8 minute video on YouTube it's title is Xbox One November Update OUT NOW. They brought back two critically popular (I would put it) Xbox Live Features missing that are on 360 and put them back on Xbox 1 which
is great! The only missing XBL Feature left for me is Voice Messaging. Don't be quick to think Microsoft won't bring it back. Earilier this year there were people who said M wouldn't allow you to change the Dash background because it wasn't popular, or....
the tiles are live it's gona be hard to add a picture to the background with live tiles in front.

I give +2 ^u^'s to M for adding these missing XBL Features to Xbox 1. M made me real high tonight and it's guy fawks tonight for NZ every city is doing a big fireworks display. It's Saturday 8 November 9:21 pm for me. Should begin to see some creative stuff
now ;D

 

Hello everyone

I love this update and I am using the Destiny Achievement " Flawless Strike " (complete a strike mission where nobody dies) as the background

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

 

I'm using one of the 4k photos I took with my Sony XC190 camcorder which does 4k stills and 1080p vids. I also do the same for my 360 Dashboard. The Store looks cleaner. And overall, the system looks BETTER than what it was like at Launch when it was missing
pretty much all Xbox Live Features which Xbox 360 has.

Best System Update EVER on Xbox 1. There has been some other good ones too, not so long ago. Updates usually come out in the middle of each month for Xbox 1 so far. But the November Update they were pretty on to it, came out on the 8th November. For me it's
Saturday 8 November 11pm. I can stay up late since it's a Saturday night.
