Xbox Party App Re Work

I really do like the functionality of the party app and that you offer the ability to have it up while playing a game. The issue is that is too large to do that with. If you could make it real slim with the amount of room needed to fit either the player
gamer pic or their avator, at least as an optional size. The ability to set it to minimize during a game to that size would definitely be enough to make me use the app all the time.

Also try and add some chat rooms people can join. Either big group chat or small chat with friends. Kind of like group text messages with friends or like on gchat and facebook. Yours would just be voice and exclusive to xbox party app.

I think the app would seriously improve with these changes and become a more exposed key factor for people to come over to xbox from other systems.

Shared app experiences! - App Parties for Xbox One apps

• Shared app experiences! - App Parties for Xbox One apps An Elaboration on possible implementation

Method 1: Use the Xbox One's Party system, and/or Skype (or Skype's Shared Desktop feature combined with Xbox Party Chat) to create synchronized app parties, perhaps termed 'Party View' or 'Shared View'
Method 2: Use the Xbox Live Cloud as a 'Dedicated Host' for Xbox One 'Party Apps' to create synchronized app parties, perhaps termed 'Party View' or 'Shared View'.

Again, treated similarly to Shared Desktops in Windows, where Party members can view, share and use 'any' Xbox app together in the Party Chat!

Here, perhaps, the Party leader alone (or other members also) can start an app and 'add/join' it into the Party for all members to see, hear and possibly even 'share control of' together.

Once added to the Party, 'Joined/Shared' apps are then viewed by each user in 'individually controlled' Windowed or Full Screen viewers from within the Xbox One Party itself or in a Viewer app running alongside the party window.

If a user is sharing something such as music to be listened to, each user can optionally place the 'Party View' into the background 'independently' or along with the party chat itself.

Whichever way, we'd refer to this as 'Party View' (a screen which is either 'part of' the Party Chat or an 'App Container' app running in tandem with the party.) Perhaps there could even be whiteboard-like meeting capabilities brought into the 'Xbox Shared app Experience' as well (Similar to such things we saw with the recently announced Surface Hub).

As touched upon in Method 2, perhaps to achieve this, Microsoft could deploy dedicated servers to handle loading the apps into Parties where there's 'instant sync' for all party members. However it's finally implemented, it should be fast and powerful, allowing members to truly share moments together with all Xbox One apps.

Here are a few visual examples to aid in attaining a more complete picture...

Perhaps you guys have other thoughts on how this could be achieved or you're happy with the idea as is... or maybe you have other thoughts on what you'd like to see with this feature if implemented? I'd really like to hear these thoughts and ideas!

You can also take this time to vote on this idea if you feel you'd also like to see it happen! Whatever the case, I'd definitely like to hear thoughts on this feature and possible things you'd use it to accomplish on the Xbox One.
