Xbox Live Question...

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Just logged into my account via my PC, and editing a few things, wondering if it is possible to load your own gamer picture instead of using the ones they give you to select??

This is probably a really stupid Q, but I have looked around and cannot see any mention of it?

 

[Iain C]

good question.
Id like to know this too

 

[paddymph]

hmm, not sure actually?

 

[Justin]

is that not what the webcam is for ? you can take a photo of yourself etc.. pretty sure its possible

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Just I notice other people with differnet pictures on their's.??

 

[paddymph]

Ah yea, i bet either:

they've took a picture of themselves with the Vision Cam

or

They've sent a pic from their PC to their XBOX HD and used it from there? (Can u do that?)

One of my friends had a picture of himself as his wallpaper that he got by putting his USB stick in his xbox. Not really answering your question though!

I dont know, i cant seem to find a way of using a pic on your PC and uploading online, as you would do with your CS avatar ?

 

[Spiezels]

you definately can, have seen lots of peoples pictures. although not sure how.

 

[David]

i dont' think you can, thought thats the appeal of the webcam.... there is no option to choose your own

wrong

 

[Spiezels]

they have them in the xbox magazine, eh i dont get it how do they do that then surely on the webcam

you can take pics from your pc for the background of the 360 "home screens" but for the gamer pic you either use a standard one from the 360, buy new ones from Live Marketplace or get the webcam and take your own...

This man knows what he is talking about, I thought you might have to buy them, thanks :approve:

 

[paddymph]

what are "home screens" ?

 

[Rhino172]

what are "home screens" ?

when you turn the 360 on without a game in it...

[philbolton]

can you use any webcam or does it have to be the xbox one?

 

[TheCake]

I'd imagine youd need the xbox one which is pretty cheap anyway mate

 

[Rhino172]

yeah not sure to be honest I've not tried and I don't have the xbox one...

knowing Microsoft it will have to be the official one...

The wireless adaptor thing is a bigger piss take! I am buying 10metres of cable and pulling up my carpet in protest of the cost of it ! lol

Tis a ripe off!
