Easy way to check who is online (XBL) while at your desktop?


Recommended Posts

Since I upgraded to Windows Live Messenger 2009, I no longer have the XBL tab on WLM that I used to check who was online. Now I want the next best way to check who is online from my desktop (in Vista). Is there any gadgets or do I have to download some kind of a program?

Something like this?

Thanks, kind of what I thought of when I originally asked. Sadly though it can only display up to five. I guess I will just create a bookmark somewhere on my computer and set one of my keyboard's function keys to open up that bookmark.

If anybody thinks of any other ideas, let me know. Thanks again!

It might be more convinient or quicker to load for people to use this bookmark

If you have a Bungie Account of course, it doesn't look as nice but for those of us with slow connections, then again if your connection is slow, why do you want to know who's on xbox live, I don't know, nevermind... :p

Blast from the past.

I've only just thought, the above link in my previous post, if you're using Firefox, you can set it to open in toolbar. Plus I removed the name for the Bookmark so it's just a small convinient tidy logo.

What do you mean, the toolbar horizontal across the top, if so just bookmark it in the normal drop down bookmarks list.

If the vertical sidebar, I'm not sure what you mean, just close it once you've checked and it doesn't have to be taking up screen real estate anyore, just keep clicking the bungie icon every now and again?

:s :p

Never mind, I'll keep my current system. I have it on my last hotkey for my Logitech keyboard so that it just pops up xbox.com/friends when I press it.
