Individual audio controls
Through medical complications when young, and later through an injury sustained while enlisted in the USNavy, I have lost most of the hearing in my left ear. I still like to game, to do things that require headphones. In order for me to play anything competitive, I need to keep the volume so high for my left ear that I'm blowing out my right.
I know there are plenty of capable people in a similar position to myself, and the development of an ear-specific volume control within the volume settings on the XBox or other devices would allow functionality and…

Big Ergonomic Xbox Controller
Please sell a Xbox controller that's long (lots of space between hands) or split - like big Joycons. My hands are killing me. Thanks

Xbox Series X/S - Audio Balance For Hearing Impaired
I am partially deaf in one ear and currently struggling with audio balance on the Xbox Series X and I know many other hearing impaired people are also struggling with the lack of an audio balance slider.
This could easily be solved for the Xbox with the addition of a left/right audio balance slider.
Microsoft has been really great with so many accessibility features but there is pretty much nothing for the hearing impaired.
Many other Microsft devices along with most other platforms already have this feature and surely it can't be that hard to introduce.
As I am partially…

family safety
Please can we have an option to control time & usage limits for a group of apps. First attempt - group all games in one - group all media in another. We prefer to have kids play till x-time and allow media apps a little later. As the kids add new games/apps it becomes difficult to manage.
Going further is to allow custom groups so apps can be grouped and controlled.
At the moment we have had to disable screentime, and just contrlol the individual apps and smart sockets to cut out the power to the TV as a failsafe.

Xbox virtual reality
Make windows headsets compatible with Xbox. I just bought a new Xbox so I can play the latest games on the Series X. But now I still need something better than my 1050 ti to run Microsoft Flyight simulator trough Xbox Gamepass.
Just make VR compatible with the Xbox. Only reason I bought the Xbox is so I don't have to buy a new computer/laptop. But now you tell me I need to install this game on pc and try to run it with my 1050 ti?
What's so hard about making virtual reality compatible with my more powerfull Xbox?…

Support for Gamers Living with Hearing Loss
I recently began using hearing aids and while I'm fortunate enough to be able to use them with my over the ear headset it would be great if there was an option to connect them directly to the console or controller.

Remap triggers on Normal Xbox Controllers
I love with the xbox controller is that you can pretty much remap every button on the controller using the Xbox accessories app but you can only swap the triggers with each other, you can not remap any other buttons to the triggers, this is a problem for me as in some games like Ori where you use the bumpers alot is that I find using the bumpers on an xbox controller uncomfortable so remaping them to the triggers would be nice.
Also per game profiles will be nice also so I dont have to keep going in to the…1 vote -
adaptive controller with big stick
Sony had the idea to create an analog joystick for the PlayStation. I have a disability, I cannot fully use the gamepad, fine motor skills do not work well. Now I'm working on a homemade joystick, making a model for 3D printing.
Many details are not yet ready, such as the joystick mechanism. At first I wanted to use off-the-shelf joysticks like the Logitech extreme 3d pro, but they required a lot of rework.
I also don’t know how the electronics of the xbox controller will accept the e49 hall sensors instead of the analog sticks.
here's what should happen. …4 votes -
update or eliminate xbox "region" support system
hi. it would be great if the "region" support system will b updated by adding countries that are not yet included in your supported regions or better just eliminate the region support system completely. it is written on your xbox page that "Nothing should come between you and the games you love. Xbox strives to eliminate barriers and to empower gamers to play the way they play.". eliminating barriers are impossible when you still have unsupported regions.

Next Xbox ideas
The next upcoming Xbox should have a small fridge connected for at least 2 or three drinks
I believe this would add an amazing quality to the next big product
Many people sit in front of their screens for long periods of time there is not much we can do about that but help them sit longer haha plus it would add a sense of completion to any man cave, college dorm, or any room.

Hi I’m Patrick Lafleur and I’m in a group home called nova salus
Hi, I’m in a group home called nova salus https://www.novasalus.ca/
My dr is dr Jose mejijia. At the iwk https://medicine.dal.ca/departments/department-sites/psychiatry/our-people/faculty/jose-mejia.htmlI was born with ticks and turrets. It’s a movement that you can’t control. If you still don’t now what that is. Look it up on mental health. I have a YouTube channel, that inspires people on what they can do with a disability and moving forward. I would like an Xbox to show people and not just show, to inspire people what you can do with the power of the Xbox. Thank you so much for reading this. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChndT1pE7YxO-fZoeQVmnfg

System idea
I think a nice feature for the Xbox community would be to allow group chats. Rather than only being able to send messages to one friend at a time or send them when your all in a strict party. But to allow a group messaging with select friend whenever. We already have the accessibility to message and create looking groups . And join parties so why no have access to group chats

Instead of zoom disables game essential actions that I have tried to turn off and can’t. Increase text size in games Print is too small
Zoom is almost impossible to turn off I would rather see personalized increase in fount because most games I just can’t read from my bed that is not too far from my tv.
