Xbox – Is it possible to turn off the XBox One Kinect

kinectxbox-one

If the Kinect is disconnected from the XBox One, is the console still usable? (Does unplugging the Kinect render the console inoperable?)

Is it possible to turn off of disable the Kinect, or is it always on when it's connected.

A buddy of mine says that some sports games assess in game penalties if the Kinect hears swear words. Is he pulling my leg, or is this a real thing?

  • No, your Xbox One will still function properly (just without the features the kinect uses (voice commands, facial recognition, etc)). I set mine up initially without the kinect connected. You will just see a symbal in the top right corner of your screen saying that your kinect is disconnected.
