Video camera maker GoPro is launching its own channel on Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gold online entertainment service today.

GoPro will have its own app for Xbox Live Gold subscribers on the Xbox One and Xbox 360 video game consoles. Users will be able to access on-demand GoPro videos from their living rooms and search for videos in categories like sports, athletes, and adventure. You can also purchase GoPro cameras and accessories directly from your console and Microsoft’s online store. That’s the first time that Microsoft has integrated the purchase of physical packaged goods into an Xbox platform app.
