Team Xbox looks forward to continuing to find new ways to make Xbox better, with you at the center as we refine the experience and deliver brand new features based on your feedback. This month’s update brings you the activity feed of the Xbox app for iOS and Android in the form of stories. You can create, share, and view stories with your friends in the Xbox app, and add priority tags to your console gaming experiences with Quality of Service (QoS) tagging.
Create, share and view stories with the Xbox app for Android and iOS
Now in Australia and soon in other Xbox-supported regions, your activity feed is getting an overhaul for the Xbox app. Stories are a great way to show off your skills and keep up with your friends. You can share your favorite game moments, including game clips, screenshots, and achievements, with your friends and the Xbox community. You can also reply to your friends’ stories with a message or a quick reaction.
The Stories channel is right on the Xbox app home screen. To create a story, click the + button on your gamertag in the Stories channel, then select the game clip, screenshot, or achievement you want to post from the gallery. Once selected, this will take you to a story preview page where you can add a caption to your post, then click the post button at the bottom right. The Stories channel shows content from the last 72 hours, and anything you share is also posted to your activity feed on your profile.
Add priority tags for your gaming experiences with Quality of Service (QoS) tagging
Quality of Service (QoS) tagging is a new service for Xbox consoles and sets priority tags for latency-sensitive outbound network traffic, such as party chat, console streaming, and multiplayer (in supported games). This helps protect your gaming experience from connection issues during periods of congestion on supported networks.
In the Settings app under General, Network Settings, Advanced Settings you will see a new button for QoS tagging settings. Under QoS Tagging Settings, there are two options: DSCP Tagging Enabled and WMM Tagging Enabled. Learn more about setting options and Advanced network settings for your Xbox.
