Microsoft has been adding a number of features to the Xbox UI over the last few months. Most recently, we saw the addition of Beam, a new 'Home,' optimized 'Guide' and more. Today, Microsoft is bringing a couple of updates to their new features like Clubs and Looking for Group.
The updates to existing features are coming straight from what the Xbox team is seeing users posting in the Xbox Feedback forums.
While these updates roll out, the Xbox team is working on other requested updates/features like the ability to select the audio input and output sources for Party chat on the Xbox app for Windows 10, Kinect auto-zoom for Beam and Twitch broadcasts, and Captive Portal support for wireless internet on your Xbox One.
Check out the update details below:
