"Xbox Appear Offline" Voice Command

Can we please make this happen? It's a little clunky to get to that option via the controller and more so via step by step voice commands.

:)

 

Voice commands - no response

I am finding that the voice command "xbox turn off" gives me the option boxes "yes" and "no" but after that no response Also the voice command to turn on is about 50/50 in regards to operating as it should

 

Xbox one voice command to holland.

 

It takes a total of 3 button presses to make your profile appear offline. How is that clunky?

 

* Yes it is 3 buttons, with navigation and delays between each one. It's not like you just press a button 3 times and you're offline.

* If you don't already know where that option is, it's not in an obvious spot.

* If you want to just watch TV and appear offline you need to say:

"Xbox go to friends"

2 second screen change

"My Profile"

2 second screen change

"Appear Offline"

* Or they could add a voice command like this with no transitions multiple commands

Is this game breaking? No. But this would be a nice enhancement

 

I have never understood the claim that the UI is clunky. People are so spoiled and lazy these days. 1 button press, wait 3 seconds, 2nd button press, wait 3 seconds, 3rd button press, DONE. IF you are too lazy to do that, then I feel sorry for you.

 

I totally understand your point of view. Let me clarify for you, It's not a matter of being lazy (no need to be hostile). It's a matter of, why does something that should take 1 second take 15? It's a matter of making things as efficient as possible.


I work in an industry where we are constantly shaving steps and seconds off of software & processes. You would be amazed by how much of an impact this makes multiplied by multiple times per day / week by millions of users.

This is just one example of an improvement / shortcut that could be implemented. Shortcuts like this add up, especially if you use your XB1 a lot, like most of us on here do I'm sure. Multiply the time spent on this by the millions of XB1 users, and your
talking about millions of hours wasted, that could be spent actually using the console.

Again this is example of a simple improvement.

 

Well I can see your point, but if you want to argue that, there are 1000s of things that could be "Sped up" in the system so this one command just doesn't make sense. I would rather have other things sped up. And when I said lazy, I am not being hostile,
I am seriously saying that 3 button presses is not something to complain about. There are enough complaints on these forums, and this is such a non-issue it just makes you look lazy by saying you want a voice command to avoid hitting 3 buttons and waiting
15 seconds. I would love voice commands for everything too, but this does not seem needed with all the other improvements that are needed.

 

Society is moving in a downward spiral. Enough said.

 

I'll say 2 things in this discussion - 1) in it's current setup, I don't think it takes very long & works just fine. That being said, 2) I agree with the OP - we need more voice commands that allow for virtually instantaneous system commands such as the
1 he described.

[/quote]Well, if you view the world like that then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

Camaro: You are looking at this very negatively, it is a suggestion, not a complaint. If there are other things things that need speeding up, why not bring them up, add to the post, instead of shooting it down. It's threads like this that make people
want to even post suggestions because people are so quick to counter it and pretty much insult the poster. I know you did not flat out insult but you insinuated I was lazy, which if I was, I would not bother posting this.

 

Galactic Geek: You totally understand my post. Using "clunky" in my original post was too harsh and I agree with you it is fine as it is, I'm just saying it could be better.

 

Darn! I just realized that I used it's instead of its in my 1st post... =(

 

I'm sure the grammar police will forgive you!
