New Features for Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha
Hide notification banners while watching video – Update
We’re updating how the “Hide notification banners while watching video” feature performs on your console!
Recently, we discovered why some apps were only registering this setting when audio was playing, but not while video was playing. We want to improve this functionality so banners do not appear while a video is playing more accurately across the console! Starting today, this setting should properly reflect its intended use.
Let us know what you think of the latest improvements!

Known Issues for Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha
We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These issues aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution. We appreciate your patience at this time!
Audio
- Users who have Dolby Atmos enabled and console display settings set to 120hz with 36 bits per pixel (12-bit) are experiencing loss of Dolby Atmos audio in some situations.
- Workaround: Disable 120hz or set Video Fidelity to 30 bits per pixel (10-bit) or lower.

- Note: The dashboard will refresh once the network connection is established, but may take up to a minute.

- Note: We are aware of the behavior and investigating, please continue to submit feedback when you encounter this behavior.
My Games & Apps
- Users have reported seeing black tiles instead of game artwork when browsing their collection.
- Some titles in collection may appear with a “trial” tag incorrectly in collection.
Networking
