Cross Platform Voice Chat Not Supported In Xbox One

Xbox One does not need an introduction if you are a fan of computer games. This game console introduced by Microsoft is now used by thousands and thousands of people all over the world. Xbox One did face a few troubles, which were quickly fixed by Microsoft. However, the article is not about that. The latest news that we hear about Xbox One is that, the game console will not support a cross platform voice chat with Xbox 360, its predecessor.

This is quite surprising. Major Nelson said, “I've asked - based on what I know of the voice system, I would be surprised if this was possible”. This can be treated as another bad move from Microsoft because, it is quite obvious that they are promoting their new upgrade rather than supporting the old versions. Now that Xbox One has been released, they would definitely wish people to try it without continuing with Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 was in fact a wonderful game console that many people bought and continue to use. However, just like the other Microsoft products that lose importance when new products are launched, Xbox 360 also had to face similar problems even though it works exceptionally well. If you have already tried to chat using your Microsoft chat in Xbox One, you would have realized that you will not be able to communicate with your friends who are using Xbox 360.You might be wondering why Microsoft had not given some help in this case.

If you are already thinking about switching to the new game console, it is always a good option. But before you take such a decision, it would be best if you wait as Microsoft might do a rethink on their policy. You should never expect Microsoft to stick with their policies when you are talking about support offered for a product introduced by them.

You may expect to hear from Microsoft tech forums as soon as they provide the latest updates regarding Microsoft quickly. A voice chat during a game session is real fun and without it, you would find the session to be a bit boring. To avoid this, you can wait for the release of Microsoft support or try Xbox One instead.

You may contact the Microsoft chat support team to know more about the same and get your queries clarified.

Time To Take The Battle To The Trolls

Internet trolling is probably one of the favorite pastimes of jobless people who are out to disrupt other people’s fun. Xbox Live is well known for its own dynamic brand of trolls, out to spoil the mood for the rest of the gamers with their antics. In an attempt to fight back, Microsoft is opting to implement new ways of getting the inline community rid of these pesky annoyances. At the start of the month, Microsoft announced the beta release of their new system labeled Xbox Enforcement United. This revolutionary system allows gamers to flag trolls as inappropriate and alert the Microsoft’s Xbox Live Policy and Enforcement Team to take action against such disturbances.
In a Xbox blog Microsoft stated, “Members who join the Enforcement United beta will participate by providing their opinions on whether particular content, initially Gamertags, violate the Xbox Live Code of Conduct.” This is a huge development in the gaming industry, and sure to make a huge impact to prevent trolls from becoming buzz killers. Microsoft also added that, “These decisions from participants feed into an algorithm our team developed. That algorithm takes several factors into account like how many participants believe there had been a violation and how reliably those individual members’ historical decisions aligned with the general consensus. The system can then determine whether or not to apply an enforcement action, like requiring a Gamertag change, or if the complaint should be escalated for one of our enforcers to review more closely.”
This attempt to remove the ever growing and pesky trolling community of such online interactive forums has been praised by many especially serious gamers who wish to enjoy Xbox Live. The trolling community has been rampant for many years now, and this is the first step by any organization to curb such annoying activities.
Microsoft claims that the new system has “built in a series of carefully designed controls.” This restricts the amount of authority that any individual gamer may possess. They also state the once implemented in its final form the new system would “continually calibrate itself to understand how reliable the data is and the sources it comes from.” That’s not all, though; dedicated gamers who contribute to preventing these nuisances earn rewards on a new community site that ensures that the Xbox Enforcement United initiative becomes a successful venture.
Those having issues with their Xbox can contact the Microsoft help line for technical advice. Experts at Microsoft help line offer excellent customer care, and are quick and thorough with addressing issues.

Know About The Paid Support Service From Microsoft

Microsoft tech support is known for the extensive support that it provides to the users. Recently, Microsoft launched a support website wherein the users would have to pay $99 for one-two-hour sessions with the technicians. The technicians available in this website would fix most of the issues experienced by the users in their computer such as slow computer, malware attacks, or even problems with Windows or Microsoft Office.
However, the interesting fact is that unlike other promotions from Microsoft, this one was devoid of any fanfare or public announcements. Microsoft did not promote this news on its domain, nor did it mention this on its website. It however, appeared on the Microsoft Store site, the place where users can purchase software, the Xbox consoles and select different Windows desktops, notebooks, tablets and smart phones from Microsoft. Hence, it came as a surprise for many users, and most of them started calling the Microsoft problems and support chat number to know about it.
According to sources, Microsoft has made the latest support option as a low-key affair without publicizing it much. In a blog written by Blake Morrison, the name of the site mentioned is clearly a reference to the Answer Desks at Microsoft's store, which is modeled after Apple’s famous Genius Bar in-store tech support. As stated by the technicians at the Microsoft problems and support chat number, the rates for technical support range from $49 for an hour of personalized training, to $99 for one- or two-hour tech sessions. It primarily focuses on detecting in and cleaning a PC of malware, increasing the performance of the system, assisting the users by giving detailed information on Office, Internet connections, etc as well as managing files in the system.
The first chat with an Answer Tech would be free, but additional sessions would be billed as per the rates stated earlier, to the user’s credit card. In the FAQ section it is clearly mentioned by Microsoft that "If the Answer Tech cannot resolve your problem during that [complimentary session], and one of our service offers is appropriate for you, the Answer Tech will detail an offer and provide explanation of the service," stated the website. This simply means that there are chances that the customer would have to pay even in the initial session.
Hence, Microsoft promises to solve almost all the problems faced by the user in his computer, with this chat support. However, the fee that the company is charging is making most of the users reluctant to use it.

Mozilla Launches Firefox Aurora For Windows 8

Mozilla has recently launched the latest version of Firefox namely Firefox Aurora 26.0a2 and Firefox Beta 25.0b1. Although the Beta version has been uniformly supported by users, the Aurora alpha version seems to be one of the most talked about versions in the tech field. The main problem that several people cited was that to use Firefox Aurora alpha in Windows 8, it was required to set it as their default browser after installing.

According to the Mozilla Firefox support, the latest version can be termed as the introduction of a Windows 8 touch-optimized app in an alpha build, but it was previously available as a standalone pre-alpha release. Hence, the latest Firefox Aurora alpha version, which needs to be set as the default browser in the system after it is installed, would enable users to experience a Modern UI app that would comprise of a tile-based Start screen. Other notable features also support Firefox Sync, a Windows 8 touch as well as swipe gestures, and also the Windows Share integration. The users would also be able to snap and fill features with the latest Firefox Aurora alpha app.

According to Mozilla, Firefox Aurora 26.0a2 is a preview, and it would take some time before the actual version came out for the users. The preview has been released so that the company would be able to fix errors and bugs before they release the complete version for the Windows 8 users. According to the technicians at the Mozilla Firefox support, some of the features of the new Firefox Aurora app are as follows:

• In the latest version, all the plug-ins have been defaulted to click-to-play by default. Hence, users must manually approve their use the first time a plug-in is evoked.
• Here, users would be able to run more than one service at a time. This is possible due to the availability of the Firefox application named as SocialAPI. This would allow the users to switch between them, because it supports multiple notifications and chat.
• Another advanced option available is the H.264 support on Linux, with the appropriate gstreamer plug-ins. The users can also decode MP3 on their Windows XP computer, as it includes support for all the versions of Windows.

These are some of the features of the Firefox Aurora 26.0a2 version developed by Mozilla. For more information, check Mozilla’s official website.
