    Why can't I Snap TV anymore?


    I used to be able to Snap TV while playing a videogame. I hadn't tried to do that in a while but I am trying it now and when I say "Snap TV" it just changes to TV. I want to be able to do both. That was a great feature and it needs to still be able to be
    done. What's happening?

    :)

    Use the whole right screen when you snap it

    This needs to be addressed when you say Xbox snap TV it only uses 20% of it. Why not use it all on the right side. Why? Becasue you CAN NOT REALLY SEE THE TV SHOW, when it is snapped. Imagine playing BF and you want to snap the TV. You can't really see
    Sports Center or South Park when it is at 20%. Cartman is fat but you still can't really see him at 20% : ) .

    Hi, I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but here are some possible answers:

    -You can switch between the snapped and fill app by saying "Xbox Switch" or double-tapping the Nexus/Xbox button

    -You can't mute Live TV when snapped right now

    -You can snap TV to a game, but you can't snap a game to TV

    Youtube Snap Problem

    They took away the ability to snap 2 apps. This is absurd. They are destroying this console. Gesture control is gone, app snapping is now limited to only live TV, controller tracking is gone. What did they sell me, this is not the console I bought anymore.

    Question for those who watch TV mostly through DVR (previously recorded)

    You can't snap TV with a PS4. If you have no intention of using the snap feature and don't care about friend requests while watching TV then HDMI input is of no concern to you.

    Youtube Snap Problem

    I just noticed this issue as well. Last year I could snap Threes! next to MLB.TV, and now I can't. Wtf?

    Seen others report the issue but no possible fixes.

    I used to be able to snap Netflix but I can't do that anymore either.

    Updates shouldn't remove features.
