Microsoft reveals upcoming features for Xbox Insiders

Party Overlay helps you tell who’s speaking in your Party without opening Guide.  You will be able to enable overlay through Party settings. Just like achievement tracker, Xbox has an option to place the overlay wherever you want on your screen and change the transparency. When someone talks, the overlay will show you the gamertag, and when no one is talking it will be invisible.
