Windows 10 Xbox App Facebook Friends Finder Update

Microsoft has finally moved the Facebook Friends Finder feature from the Xbox App Beta version to the main stream App running on Windows 10 (ver 11.11.19012.00000).

Mind you according to the video below the feature will remain in Beta, but it does add a new way to find friends on Xbox One....

Facebook friend finder in the Xbox App and on Xbox.com: Once you have linked your Facebook Account to your Xbox Live Account via the Settings menu you will find a list of suggested friends in the Friends column on the right side of the Xbox App. Each friend will have a specific Facebook icon next to their name. If you click on the ‘+’ icon you can add them as a friend.

As your friends link their Facebook accounts to their Xbox Live accounts, you’ll see increasing numbers of Facebook friend suggestions. One easy way to do this: when you first link your Xbox Live account to your Facebook account in the Xbox App, take advantage of the “Share to Facebook” option which will generate an “I’m on Xbox” post on your Facebook timeline.

When your friends see your shared “I’m on Xbox” post on Facebook, they can click through and access the Facebook friend finder on Xbox.com, which also becomes available at some point this week.

Record voiceover in your Game DVR clips on your PC: Another new feature launched with the latest update is the ability to plug in a headset and narrate your Windows 10 game clips with your own voice using Game bar and Game DVR hotkeys. To turn microphone recording on or off for a gaming session, press Win + Alt + M. Want to turn microphone recording on for all gaming sessions? Go to Game bar > Settings > Audio or Xbox App > Settings > Game DVR > Audio. And if you like personalising your Game DVR hotkeys and want to customise the microphone recording hotkey, do it here: Game bar > Settings > Shortcuts or Xbox App > Settings > Game DVR > Keyboard shortcuts.

You can also share your Windows Store game clips (including voiceover commentary) via your friends on Xbox Live through the Xbox App, or share any of your game clips on the social network of your choice through your PC.

Record ANY game on your Windows 10 PC: The recent Windows 10 update now enables you to record game clips and capture screenshots for ALL games, including PC games where Game bar and Game DVR hotkeys didn’t work earlier.

Xbox Store section: This feature arrived in the last update but the store section in the Xbox App will now bring you into the Xbox Store – a launching point for browsing and searching for both Windows 10 and Xbox One games. The new interface allows you to see more content in the Store at a glance and brings you the latest crop of the most popular Windows 10 and Xbox One games, plus you can redeem Games with Gold games or get discounted games through Deals with Gold.
