Using the guide on Xbox One

The guide is the quickest way for you to:

• Find out what your friends are up to, and keep track of your clubs.
• Start and join parties.
• Broadcast your game with Mixer.
• See what's new in your activity feed, and check your progress on achievements.
• Check your messages and notifications.
• Review and change your settings.
• Update your profile.

Open the guide by pressing the Xbox button  on your controller – or on Home, simply by moving left.

Here you’ll find the guide tabs, quick access to your most recently used features, and quick links to My games & apps, the Microsoft Store, and your personal alerts.
