The feature supports the uploading of an image from your Xbox One, Windows 10 PC or your smartphone. To upload via a console, you simply store the image on an external drive of sorts and plug it in. Simples. The images can be used for either your Gamerpic or for your club’s profile picture or background, which is sure to add a little bit more personality to the club scene.

Microsoft has been clear to warn users that, as the images can be seen by all other members of Xbox Live, they must adhere to the service’s code of conduct. So, keep it clean.
