Recording Twitch Streams Without a Snap View

Recording Twitch Streams Without a Snap View

Xbox One apps are sort-of like Windows 8 apps. They don’t just look awfully similar, they also share a very unfortunate quirk: Xbox One apps are only active when they’re being seen on the screen. If they aren’t on your screen then they aren’t running and can’t do anything. For Xbox Music that means you can’t stream and game without 30% of your screen taken over by Xbox Music. In Twitch’s case that means you can’t do a live stream with your display. Gamers with big televisions won’t find this to be a pain, bu this does make gaming and streaming on small televisions absolutely painful.

    Directv and Dish satellite boxes work just fine with the Xbox One too. ☺

    You know what needs to go? Journalists that think they’re journalists when they can’t list 7 things on one page. Eat shit.
