Voice overlay idea

it would appear that there is a glitch with the overlays for notifications (achievements and invites) and the voice overlay (displaying GT of person talking in Party)

if the Power Cycle doesn't work, for a workaround you could turn off the voice overlay in the Party (press the XB button to bring up the side bar then highlight Party and press A then highlight Voice Overlay and switch it to Off)

you can also turn off individual notifications to minimise the disruption to your gaming (although you'd probably want to keep invites and messages on)

hope this helps

I understand that, I'm just wondering if for some reason it will be required to be on, since the entire idea of the hmdi in/out feature is to include the use of the voice commands on the kinect, the new overlay, etc. I'm just not sure if being on will be
a requirement because of that.

Interesting...I wasn't aware that was added as a feature. I checked the Notification settings and don't see anything that might be useful in stopping text messages from appearing in the Voice Overlay area. I turned off the Party notifications and my text
replies were still displayed in the Voice Overlay area.

I will file a Report via my Xbox Insiders app and submit your feedback requesting an option to exclude the chat log from the Voice Overlay section.

Hi, I know those overlays are sometimes frustrating but you can disable them. When in a party bring up the party menu and there is a toggle halfway down the screen labeled "Voice Overlay" just disable this toggle and the overlay will not longer display.

After you bring up the Xbox menu by hitting the centre button on the controller, go to the party settings, and then you should see an option for "Voice Overlay."

If you want to remove it, then toggle it off. You can also change where it's located on the screen by selecting "Configure voice overlay."
