Hi. I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'm going to talk through how to appear offline on an Xbox One.

Sometimes you just want to play Xbox One games in peace without having to deal with other people. Changing your Xbox Live settings to appear offline ensures that other users won't see that your online and will be none the wiser that your playing games on your online. You'll still be able to play games online, and you can even reach out to other people who are online in the event there's a specific person your trying to dodge. Changing your Xbox One status to show that your offline can be done in a few quick steps.

And now, the steps to appear offline on Xbox One.

Step 1. While on your device's home screen, press the "Xbox" button in the center of your controller. A menu flys out from the left side of the screen.

Step 2. Move to the far left of the menu bar along the top of the menu to select your gamerpic. The Sign In menu appears.

Step 3. Click to select the option that features your gamerpic and Xbox Live username at the top of the screen. A new window appears, with your username at the top and a larger image of your gamerpic. You'll see My Profile, My Account, My Memberships, and Appear Offline in the list of options.

Step 4. Choose "Appear Offline." You'll notice that directly beneath your username an Appearing Offline message appears, indicating that you are currently appearing as being offline to other users. You can appear online again at any time by navigating back to this screen and selecting "Appear Offline."

Congratulations, you'll now appear offline to all Xbox Live users until you change your status back to show that your online.
