It doesn't boost your chances but you do have to be friends. When you invite someone from the Preview Dash it opens up your friends list, so you have to be friends.
I've been streaming to my surface pro 3, works great. Hooked it up to my bedroom TV with a wireless keyboard. Bedroom is close enough to the gaming room that I can use the Xbox controller wirelessly until the adapter comes out.
Sound streams with the video. I can even use the built in mic on my surface for voice chat.
Strange, I'll try it again.
Edit: Works fine with my speakers, doesn't play nice with my G930. Very odd, beta testing!
Double Edit: My SF4 stick works on the PC streaming the one. Played KI, worked fantastic. This is good news.

This is in regards to the 360 not the Xbox One but thought some might be interested to know what was just updated in Xbox 360 Preview this month.
CHANGES
◾Rich Presence: Starting with this update, you'll now be able to see what your friends are doing in their games, just like on Xbox One.

What exactly does this mean? I thought it already told everyone what you were doing?
If you're using an Xbox 360 and check your friends list, if there were any friends using an Xbox One all you would see under the friend's status would be: "Xbox One".
Now, it'll actually tell you what they're doing, like using Netflix or playing a game.

Oh right, it only said "like on Xbox One" as opposed to mentioning that you could see them on Xbox One. Good little change but that changenote is a bit weirdly worded.
I have not received it yet. I am barely holding it together with the hype for the new UI, though. I really wish they'd give an ETA for preview availability.
I didn't get an email.
Deets on the skeets?

Oh, It just showed some images (Avatars, Notices, Game Invites Etc) and what you thought of that. And some other questions about what would you expect to find in certain sections of the UI. I can't get back into it now though because I already completed it.

Would anyone be kind enough to send an invite my way?
Thank you so much!

This is sort of related. I didn't want to create a new OCD thread for it. So forgive me.
My OCD is bugging me, because it took a couple of tries for me to put the Batman disc in this morning. I wasn't pushing it in far enough, and it was just hitting the edges of the disc drive -- not hard, or in any way that should cause damage.
The material there, for lack of a better term, won't cause scratches, right?

I don't think you can. If you have registered your new console I believe you just have to wait.
You have to wait for the new wave, which I think is tonight. A new update came out with more bug fixes and stuff.
Thanks, sir/mam!

Any news on when the new dash will be released to the preview?

Yep, In the "Connect" tab in the app you should see the option along the top commands there to stream your Xbox One. This sets up the stream
I would love the preview to appear when Windows 10 Launches. Would be nice to get a few months of testing before unleashing it at some point October November probably.

Not seen this one before. A trailer for the new dashboard experience.

Nice. One of the reasons I love Xbox consoles is because of the substantial changes the console goes through from launch. Looking forward to cortana.

Man I can't wait for this. I dont even really like the way it looks comparitivley but The current xb1 dash has become painfully slow and buggy over the past few months. If I can get that same functionality with the speed of the ps4 UI that is a bigger coup then any of the features they've added over the past year.
Snap is virtually unusable in the current UI as we have to wait for the snap center to load and then wait for whatever app to load. Hopefully Making these things system level will improve that.

There was an update this morning for me but haven't had a chance to check out what it was for. Guessing just normal maintenance stuff(?)
Yep. The Vita team's been moonlighting at Microsoft.

Anybody knows when you'll be able to get achievements using BC? It's one of the most interesting things to me. Specific date or something?

You already get Achievements through BC...
I never would have thought I'd see a commercial for console dashboard update... I also never figured such a commercial would excite me... Strange times...
Cortana looks like an amazing addition...

One thing that scares me is that they aren't showing off the store. It needs a huge revamp.

I dunno what's going on with my the streaming between the console and the PC.
I can get to connect with the Xbox App on W10, but when I click on stream after showing a message that say's Connecting to Xbox-SystemOS the screen gets like this:

I was having the same problem on my laptop, check if you have any Windows updates, I had 1 and after installing, it started working. Very well might I add, in shock at how well it works!

Cool, I hadn't seen that yet. Really looking forward to seeing this first hand.
