Accessing the Shortcuts Menu
Your favorite Backbone app features are easily accessed from the shortcuts menu on the Backbone app home screen. The default way to open the Shortcuts menu is by double pressing the Backbone button.
The More menu contains shortcuts for captures, game library, Stream to Twitch, Add a friend, Controller Center (Backbone Pro only), Start a party, Settings, Go to a website (Backbone Browser), and Tutorials.
