    Where is Snap?! Is there a replacement PIP mode?


    Since the new March update (nice one btw!) I'm having trouble trying to snap TV with my games. TV PIP with games is one of the reasons I bought this console when it launched. I get that you're moving away from the TV focused launch but please tell me you
    didn't just remove one of my favorite features without offering a replacement.

    There's a better PIP mode that I just can't find right? That would make sense. One that only displays the video, and lets you position and scale it would be ideal! I kept digging through settings menus hoping I'd been looking in the wrong place, but I
    ran out of interfaces to scour so now I'm here.

    If there really is nothing I might as well not have the HDMI input fed with cable, One Guide or the Kinect that you stuck me with. Please help!

    :)

    Where is advance replacement?

    I am 90% on that. So there is a chance it does not work. I have seen it on twitter and a few different users post here and in support forums about it.

    As its an MS physical location its basically just cutting out the two way mail. The obsolete console would get shipped to a repair center with nothing to ship back because you got your new one already. It is money saved for MS so i found this highly highly
    believable.

    I tell you what though i will get with twitter support tomorrow during their business hours to get confirmation on that type of exchange. Then PM you the details or post here. Not to offend you @OP

    Where is Snap?! Is there a replacement PIP mode?

    Hey there, KaBar87!

    I'm sorry to see any frustrations with the new update! The ability to snap TV/HDMI-in during gameplay is no longer available. This is to help drive more overall system reliability and performance for games, apps, the Xbox dashboard and Guide. Gamers will
    still be able to watch full screen TV experiences (or anything plugged into the HDMI-in port) on their Xbox, and quickly switch back and forth between that experience and other games and apps using the newly designed Guide.

    If would like your voice heard more, please look for the snap suggestion on the front page of our
    Feedback site. Give it a vote and a comment to ensure it's sent to the right people.

    If you have any other support issues you need assistance with, be sure to post up a new detailed thread so that our community can work on helping you out! Thanks for posting! Where is Snap?! Is there a replacement PIP mode? :)

    What new feature would you like on Xbox

    Wish Snap would come back, or a PiP alternative.

    Anyone else pissed Microsoft for getting rid of snap an app?

    I won't miss it at all I only used it to play music which sucked because it would shrink the POV. I'm glad they worked with the background music, which I feel should have been done long ago. As for Snap I hope they create a more smooth transition for a PIP.
    Ya, I definitely wouldn't of minded if they replaced Snap with a PIP or something. Instead they just did away with it and just kinda left it more or less open ended on whether something would replace it in the undetermined future. Which means I'm gonna have
    to rebuild the setup I took down because they removed one of the reasons I got the Xbox One in the first place.

    Meh, snap still doesn't respond the best and there is a lot of wasted real estate; they need PIP (PICTURE IN PICTURE) that would be a lot better imo

    Bring back "Snap an App" from 2016

    A picture-in-picture feature would be pretty nice to see added, but they removed the snap feature as it wasn't used much and they didn't want to devote development resources to something that wasn't used and would free up system resources for game
    developers.
    PIP would be far superior to snap IMO.
