Request: The ability to map the “share” button to a mute functionality

The new media remote has the ability to control your tv functions such as on/off, volume up/down, mute and tv input. I hope that little bit of info will help you out.

Hey there RavnusLock.

Thanks a ton for dropping by the Xbox Forums to share this! Awesome to see his gameplay of Overwatch on Xbox One! Currently we do not offer controllers specifically developed for this with disabilities, but we do offer the ability to change button mapping via
the
Xbox Accessories App. Hopefully changing the button mapping assists with some of his Xbox gaming!

Again, thanks a ton for sharing Mateus and if you have any questions on how to remap buttons, let us know

Here are a few things to consider:

1. 1. Two beeps will confirm that you have changed the mute setting. If you hear high-pitched beeps and then low-pitched beeps, the mute function is not turned on. If you hear low-pitched beeps and then high -pitched beeps, the mute function is not turned
   off.
2. 2. Check that the voice function is not muted in the Xbox Guide. To do this, press the Xbox Guide button, select Personal Settings, and then select Voice.
   

If these steps do not fix the problem, you may need to contact Xbox Customer Support about replacing your headset.

Hello Sun,

Thank you for your reply.

1. Currently in the consoles settings you can choose the 4th option down, devices & connections.accessories..

2. From there select the first option, accessories.

3. This takes you to the Xbox Accessories menu.

4. Select “controller - configure.

5. You will be brought to a screen in which you can swap/change button functions.. For example, my profile is currently set to reverse the functions of my ‘B’ button and my stick click. When I click my right stick button, it registers as a ‘B’ button push.

Note, this function works, No problem.

Request/Problem - DISABLE BUTTON FUNCTION.

1. Settings will let you change/swap button functions but you CANNOT DISABLE a button function in its current state.

I have owned an Xbox elite v1 controller and 3 elite v2 controllers unfortunately they kept breaking so I’ve retuned them all. However, I want to point out. While using an elite controller, if you go to the Microsoft accessories tab YOU CAN DISABLE buttons on an elite controller.

I remember being able to disable button on standard controllers before the elite v1 was introduced. When I asked this same question a year ago, the independent advisor told me the same thing. This used to be a standard function. When he checked for the ability to disable buttons he was really surprised, it was gone.

Since returning all my Elite controllers I’ve replaced them with 2 Microsoft authorized/certified PRO controllers. A razer Wolverine and eswap-s controller. If team Xbox and Phil Spencer want to keep this function/ability exclusively for ‘Pro’ Controllers that’s fine, but be fair about it. I’ve bought multiple 1st party controllers that (I could disable button s) but had issues and they failed very quickly. I’m still investing in ‘Pro’ controllers that are authorized 3rd ’party products. Why don’t your 1st and 3rd party Devi es have parity? Both 1st and 3rd cost about the same,…in some cases the 3rd party is actually more expensive.

To summarize.

1. Xbox 1st party elite controller can disable and/or swap button presses.

2. Xbox Standard 1st party controllers can swap functions but not doable them.

3. Authorized Xbox 3rd party controllers match 1st party standard controllers. They can swap/change button functions but not disable button functions.

4. Authorized Xbox 3rd party ‘Pro’ controllers are restricted to the same function as 1st and 3rd party standard controllers. They can only swap button functions. There is no way to disable button function.

The ability to disable button functions used to be a standard feature, for all controllers. All I’m asking is to have the ability to disable buttons be added back into the controller menu. If team Xbox want to keep that ability restricted to pro controllers, that’s fine but don’t penalize/exclude 3rd party controllers. As I mentioned, some 3rd party controllers are more expensive than the elite.

I’m just asking to get back what originally was a standard function for ALL CONTROLLERS a few year back.

Please add the ability to DISABLE BUTTON FUNCTION back into the hands of the players.

there might be able way through the share a game function that ive heard about but never used myself

The ability to share is limited to 1 console. So it won't work across both consoles.
