    Playing games while having tv snapped


    Is there or are there plans to allow the gamer to hear the game they are playing through a headset if one is running netflix/tv apps in snap mode?

    Headset Functionality Question

    Is it possible using any compatible headset to be playing a game with tv snapped, whilst having the tv audio through the tv speakers only and game and chat audio through the headset only?

    Xbox commercial just made my Xbox start playing music

    Umm, I'm playing Madden (fortunately paused) while I have the TV app snapped and a commercial plays in which a guy says, "Xbox Play Music". And my stupid game switches to Xbox Music and starts playing music!?!?!?!

    Can I mute TV volume and have game audio up while the darn TV app is snapped!??!?!

    Snap tv while playing a game?

    Re sizing it no but probably will in a later update you can make the snapped app to full screen.

    Snap tv while playing a game?

    When you say the cable is too short, may I ask exactly what you mean? If you arent going to use the kinect for video or motion control can you not have it near to the xbox simply to take your voice commands?

    [quote user="vFlare"]

    What Customgamer18 said. If you prefer to use voice commands, however, just say "Xbox, go to <app/game>". For example, if you're playing Call of Duty: Ghosts and decide to snap Netflix to the side, say "Xbox, go to Call of Duty: Ghosts" and it'll allow you
    to control your game again rather than Netflix, your currently snapped app. If you want to go back, say "Xbox, go to Netflix".

    Simpler method is to just say xbox switch to swap between snap windows , or if no kinect double tab xbox button on controller
