Turning Off Friend Notification Pop-Ups While Watching TV, Videos Or Blu-Rays

Hello InTranceWeTrust,

The easiest way to counter the pop-up notifications at this point in time is to make some adjustments to your
Friends Favorites list. Only your Favorites display the notification.

Hope this helps!

I'm in the preview program

One thing for me and probs for most people is while watching tv, is notifications popping up

As with the xbox 360this can be turned off while watching a DVD or video

Will this feature be implemented in future for the xbox one?

Or you couldgo to settings and turn off the notifications so they don't pop while watching videos. Job done.

It was semi-answered earlier but I'll have a go at explaining it for you.

HDMI, unlike component video, is a truly digital signal which allows a device to communicate 2-way with whatever it is connected to. It helps if you think of it as similar to a USB connection, where a computer can directly communicate with an external device
rather than just blindly grab whatever is transmitted.

Using HDMI allows you to do some really cool things. TVs now are pretty smart and can process data, not just audio/visual stuff. For example, if I'm watching normal tv and I turn my blu ray player on, it automatically switches the tv's channel to the blu
ray one. If you turn the TV off, the blu ray player will turn off. Similarly if I turn off the blu ray player by itself the TV then switches back to broadcast TV.

Relating to your problem I'm not sure about the xbox, but my blu ray player actually has an option to disable HDMI's smarter features. There's probably something very similar buried in the console's settings. Hope this helps!

Exactly, the notifications should be for favorites only.

The people complaining about this feature don't realize that even the 360 had a option to turn those notifications off totally, or only when watching video. Just because you don't want a pop-up while your watching TV doesn't mean they should totally do
away with a feature that 99% of the other gamers loved and used. Bring it back for Favorite friends and give the option to the 1% to turn it off.

and to "tohellnbak"

Please work on your reading comprehension. I listed 3 updates this could have been included in. Of course they aren't going to patch/update the entire system for one feature. SMH
