    The Xbox One Snap feature should include customizable dimensions or toolbars.


    As we all know, the current Snap feature on Xbox One takes up a good chunk of space on your screen, roughly 1/4th of your available space. This is annoying to some gamers because they cannot see the games they are playing very well. Using this feedback,
    we came up with some helpful options.

    Toolbars



    Toolbars would be a great use for snapping apps such as Skype or Pandora*. Instead of taking up the entire screen, toolbars could take up a smaller portion so the gamer could get a better experience while gaming or even watching a movie or TV show.

    *I am aware that Pandora will be receiving an update to support background music, eliminating the need for snapping an app.

    Customizable Snap sizes



    Being able to customize the size of your snapped app would be very interesting. Maybe someone wants to use Microsoft Edge while using Skype, but wants to be able to have each app take up half the screen. Through the Xbox One settings, the user should
    be able to do that. Also, maybe the snap feature could have a setting option for which side the Xbox automatically snaps onto, or even adding pre-set snap sizes.

    We have reason to believe that all of the above feature would be a great fit for Xbox. The most recent update does support background music, but there could be many more possibilities among us.

    When it comes to Skype, maybe they could make Skype a background snapped app as well, using the same features that Pandora will have. Simply double tapping the Home button will allow you to see options for ending a call, muting your microphone, or even adding
    others to your call.

    I hope this idea will be brought into consideration by many supports.

    Thank you,

    What do you expect from the Xbox Series X UI?

    I would like snap back or something similar. Also a more customizable home screen.

    How to mute Live TV while watching Xbox Video in Snap Mode

    I agree...this is definitely a feature I would have thought would have been included. There should be a way to mute either the game play or the snapped app. Thank you for considering this!

    Why can’t I customize the keyboard on Microsoft edge on my Xbox a photo and put a photo on the keyboard on Microsoft edge on the Xbox?

    Microsoft edge an Xbox is not intended as a full featured browser and mostly for viewing product information. It is not customizable in anyway. If you wish to browse the Internet you should use a computer or mobile device
