# video of the day | A great joke for Xbox One owners

Розыгрыш владельцев Xbox One

We all know that the next-generation consoles support voice control. The Playstation 4 and Xbox One are able to respond to their name spoken aloud by the user, and then they take subsequent commands to action within a few seconds. It was this innovative feature of the new consoles that a very witty and inventive bully decided to take advantage of during the network match in the game Call of Duty: Ghosts.


Xbox One supports a huge number of voice commands, on which particular emphasis is placed on advertising the Microsoft console: you can simply order the console to do something, and it will certainly do it. Below you can see a list of available voice commands, with which you can communicate with your Xbox One (Russian, of course, is not yet supported).

Not so long ago, a joke appeared on the Web that in the American studio Insomniac Games, which is developing a new game for the Xbox One, a new entertainment has appeared. A man who shouts loudly “Xbox Turn Off” rushes into the room where the working devkits of the Microsoft console are standing, and all consoles on the team are turned off amicably to the great disappointment of those employees who have worked with them at the moment.

It should be noted here that remotely using similar voice commands will not work. If you during a tournament in some online shooter scream loudly voice command, so that it sounded from the speakers of your TV rivals, you will not work. Xbox One distinguishes the sounds coming from the speakers from the living sound of its environment, and carefully filters them, so this trick will not work. But what will happen if in some clever way to force a person on the other side of the screen to independently pronounce the command you need? It is this method and came up with one resourceful joker from the Xbox Live gaming network.

If you play online with live opponents, you will have to choose for yourself the so-called Gamer Tag, or, more simply, the unique username. That it will be seen in the statistics tables and lists of players your rivals. And how else can you turn to a person whom you do not know, if not by his nickname?

Inventive hooligan simply created the nickname "Xbox Sign Out", which one in one coincides with the voice command, ordering the Xbox One console to leave the current account and enter under the other. As a result of this command, a black menu appears on the screen, clarifying whether the user is really going to exit? This menu covers the entire gameplay and very seriously distracts the player from the intense online duel. I think you all understand perfectly well that if we are talking about quick games of the “first person shooter” genre, where every fraction of a second is important, such death distractions are similar, and finding a voice command that closes the menu that appeared is not so easy in such confusion. . What came out of this original venture - you can see in the video below.
