    Hi there.

    I've just recently purchased my Xbox One and have been really enjoying It. I've noticed however, there there is no option to use the Kinect to take a picture of yourself to use as your gamer picture.... but I thought that the Xbox 360 could do this? Doesn't
    this seem like a step down, as opposed to moving forward into the future?? Has anyone heard about Microsoft updating this eventually?? I dunno... just seems odd to me I guess. It's not that big a deal, but apparently big enough for me to post on the Xbox forums
    which I visit barely once a year Xbox One, Personal Avatar :p

    Any info would be great thanks!

    :)

    Hello Hollified Ninja,

    Avatar items can be display on your personal Avatar on the Xbox One.

    Gamerpics, however, are not. You have to use one of the ones provided for you or create your own using your Avatar.

    PERSONAL PHOTO AS AVATAR

    It can't be done.

    If you have an xbox Live camera (not kinect) you can make a profile pic that only your friends can see.

    That's the only way without doing something illegal.

    I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that Microsoft doesn't want a few jerks uploading inappropriate content. It's sad but a reality that often times nice features are left out because of a small minority of users who'd abuse them.

    Yeah sorry about that, like I said, don't come here often and I don't know my way around. But yeah, you are right, I'm sure It would be easy to abuse.. too bad.

    I've been playing Xbox, and 360 for a very long time, and from day one have never supported Microsoft's decision to have "avatars" since It seems to favor a more "child friendly" audience, and leaving behind the more hardcore fan base.. but thats just business.
    I'd really like to just have my own face to represent myself as an Xbox user instead of a generic 3D model of somthing that looks nothing like me. That, and a very limited selection of pictures. Oh well, GAME ON. (Waynes World lol)

    How could I be Comm Banned for this??!!

    welcome to Xbox, where even Microsoft provided avatars/pics can get you auto banned if reported by just one person.

    Bring Back Avatar Premium Themes - I wish that Xbox would give Avatars more attention and support!

    This one. There were some cool titles that made clever used of xbox avatars and gave a personal touch to the games themselves. Poker games or racing games that could have been just copies became more beloved because of the avatar perk.
