Xbox Live users are now able to search for their Facebook friends directly through the Windows 10 Xbox app, Microsoft has announced.

The feature lets players add their Facebook friends to their Xbox Live friends list without having to manually search for their name or gamertag. The functionality will also be added to Xbox.com later this week.

“Inspired by a top requested fan feature, we’re bringing two of your favourite social networks together – Xbox Live and Facebook – and making it easier than ever to find more people to play games and have fun with,” Mike Ybarra, Director of Program Management for Xbox wrote in an update on Xbox Wire.

“In the Friends column on the right side of the Xbox app, look for the Facebook icon in the Suggested Friends area. Click it to link your Facebook account to your Xbox Live account and start seeing suggestions for Facebook friends who you can add on Xbox Live. Facebook friend finder can also be found in the Settings area of the Xbox app.”

Further updates to the Windows 10 Xbox app also mean that players can now record voiceover in Game DVR clips on their PC, and record game clips and capture screenshots of any game.
