Forums - Microsoft Discussion - You can now video chat while playing games on Xbox One

DeadBigfoot21 on 20 May 2014

Joining the other features introduced in the latest Xbox One system update, Microsoft announced today that Snap support has been added to Skype.

The system's Snap feature--which allows an app to be brought up on the right side of the screen while the remainder of the screen is used to continue playing games, watching movies, or whatever else--was of limited use with Skype before now. The only way to snap anything with Skype was by leaving Skype in the middle of the screen, something that was of very limited use.

Dont know if posted already but i was waiting for this :)

I don't see why people would want to do that but if you do, then more power to you



Current consoles: Wii U, Gaming PC

Nice feature so long as it doesn't mess up gameplay, especially in online multiplayer.

A dream come true.

The 13-23 year old crowd has been raised to base their own self worth on how much attention they get. Whoever is the bigger attention whore, is king. No longer does it matter if you're actually talented, or have something tangible to offer the human race. No. Now, it's just about how many Facebook friends you snag, how many likes you can rack up and how many hits you can get from that YouTube video of yourself laying down on a busy sidewalk in the middle of NY city. 

 

I pretty much lost all faith in US culture when someone actually tried to make vanity photos legit by giving them a name "selfie".

I've been wanting this on the Wii U for ages.

Don't worry friend. I'm an offical spokesperson for generation X and, if you want, there's always room for adoption.
