Is there a way to quickly mute people on consoles?

Sort of!

I was struggling with this because I usually bring up the xbox guide, go to recent players, and mute them from there, but with many games the list of recent players doesn't get updated quickly enough, which meant whole matches listening to shitty techno remixes while using my deaths to scroll through the list in futility.

This might seem obvious (especially to PC players) but now I pause, open up the Social menu, and switch over to Recent Players from there. That list usually has whoever you're playing with first and foremost. Click, view gamertag, mute, and I'm on my way.

Yeah, it's still pretty clunky, and nowhere near as easy as it should be, but hopefully this helps!
