Along with announcing more new features within the Xbox One May Update, today Microsoft also revealed a number of features that will be integrated into the Xbox app for Windows 10 The most important of these new features is the ability to record clipsof PC video games we are playing.

"

This can be done through the Game Bar, a new interface with recording tools and screenshots that we can invoke in at all times by pressing the Windows + G keys Among its options will be the Record that button (which we can also activate with Windows + Alt + G) and that will automatically record a clip with the last 30 seconds of play."

"

If instead we prefer to record what will happen from an instant onwards, we can press the red Record button>take screenshots, by pressing the camera button , or by using the Windows + Alt + PrintScreen keys. Going to the settings button you can adjust the maximum duration of the clips, along with other details."

"

Microsoft warns us that there may be games that are not compatible with the Game Bar, because they block the Windows key, or because that your display mode does not allow the bar to be displayed. To solve this problem, they are working on an update that will allow the use of different key combinations, along with other changes."

Best Social Features

The latest version of the Xbox App also includes changes aimed at providing a better experience in the social sectionOne of them is an improved live tile , which allows information such as notifications and messages received via Xbox Live to be displayed on the Start screen/menu.

There is also the possibility of viewing the profiles of other users from the same application, including information such as their location, reputation, achievements favorites, video clips they've added to their profile, and even their Xbox avatar.

Just related to the latter, and as we already told you, Microsoft announces the availability of an additional app to create and edit our Xbox Live avatars . Here you can find more information about her.

Finally, we are given the option to share our real name on the Xbox profile. This option was already available on Xbox One thanks to the console's March update, but it is now possible to activate it from Windows 10 as well.

Tighter integration between Windows 10 and Xbox One

"

Another area where this app innovates is in its attempt to break down the walls>. To do this, it adds to the existing integration options the ability to view a list of recent content on the PC that has been played on the Xbox."

Also enables the ability to watch digital TV on a Windows 10 PC by streaming from an Xbox One that has this feature enabled, and the Xbox controller drivers begin to be included together with the operating system, so it will no longer be necessary to download and install them separately.

It's important to note that all these changes require Windows 10 build 10061, which was just released on the fast channel of the Windows Insider Program. It is also required that we have the latest version of Xbox App (4.4.9014.0 or later), but updating to it should happen automatically once it's published to the store.
