The Xbox Game bar chat is trash and I am not using it anymore...

Seriously Xbox, this is your stupidest choice yet. You get rid of the Xbox app that was so simple and easy to use, and instead add a "game bar" which is even more trash. Like come on, the thing is stupid and I had more connection and clearer audio when
talking to people on that. Speaking of talking, the voice chat in Xbox game bar when pressing Win-G, does not even work. I have to have my friend invite me and we never can chat because the thing always says disconnected. I can't see peoples profiles, the
entire thing is garbage. Way to go guys! You made an awesome addition to your company and software! Not using Xbox game bar anymore and I really hope you see this because I am sure many people have the same thoughts as me.

Howdy.

If any fellow gamers can offer some guidance, I'm sure they'll jump in, but this forum is primarily a place for support/discussion among end users - gamers like you.

To ensure that your feedback reaches the folks who can properly take it into consideration, I'd recommend that you the Game Bar app, clicking on Settings, navigate down to Feedback, and send your feedback directly from within the app.
You'll also have the opportunity to send diagnostic logs, if any.

In my opinion, party chat has ruined online gaming. It's always silent when you play now. No trash talking anymore.

I see some issues on my end. I am not quite certain if the updates changed the notification style. I would imagine the updates did it because I am no longer receiving party invites from the Xbox Console Companion anymore. Now I have to use my Game Bar
to join. Maybe Game Bars are taking over.

I am having the same issue, this used to work but now I cannot use push to talk in Sea of Thieves unless I toggle the game bar open when in an Xbox Party audio chat.

I also cannot set mouse buttons as push to talk hotkeys in the Xbox Game Bar settings, only keyboard keys.
