Important Build Notes Avatar EditorWe are releasing an update to Insiders in the Alpha Skip Ahead, Alpha, and Beta rings! This build includes updates to Avatar rendering as well as other improvements to the Avatar Editor user experience. Please check out the new navigation animations as well as the newly released collection of moods and props!
Avatar StoreThe first build of the new Avatar Store is arriving today for Alpha Skip Ahead and Alpha rings on Xbox One! Starting later today, you’ll find an Avatar Store button on the main menu of the Avatar Editor. You’ll be able to browse and search the content catalog and preview items on your own Avatar within the store. We have a small collection of content in the store right now, and as our partners create more content, you’ll see it appear in the store in real time. We have more planned for the Avatar Store, but we’re eager to start receiving your early feedback.
Please be aware that any content you purchase during preview will be available to you throughout the Insider preview and after the feature ships to the public. Purchases made in the new Avatar Store will be included on your Microsoft account’s purchase history. To celebrate the launch of the new store, we’ve included a free Xbox Avatar shirt celebrating the Insider program! Get it quickly because once the Avatar Store ships to the general public, this shirt will no longer be available.
Avatar Editor on Windows 10We’ve mentioned before that the Avatar Editor is a Universal Windows Platform application and now we’re ready to start collecting feedback from Windows 10 users! If you’re in the Alpha Skip Ahead, Alpha, or Beta rings on Xbox One, you’ll find a new quest in the Windows 10 version of the Xbox Insider Hub that will tell you how to download and provide feedback for the Avatar Editor on your Windows 10 device. Please note that the Avatar Store will not appear on any version of the Avatar Editor on Windows 10 at this time.

The broadcast during this time will behave very much like a capture card with a few exceptions.
Non-game audio is not included in the broadcast.
HEVC applications like Netflix and YouTube will terminate the broadcast.
When this setting is enabled everything you see, your audience will see: your Home screen, the guide, your game, notifications, what you’re typing, and more.
Be careful not to broadcast personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers!Double check your privacy settings
To keep your email from showing on Home, go to Settings and choose Account > Sign-in, security & passkey, and uncheck Show on Home.
To hide notifications, go to Preferences > Notifications and uncheck Notification banners on.
