There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

@Sai, emulator does not support recordings made using Kinect.
However, you can create recordings using the Windows Device Portal.8

The .xef file that the Kinect generates doesn't quite work in my experiences. I'm not sure if the format is exactly the same or not. Obviously the idea and concept is the same. It's not published as to which streams to record to get it to work in HoloLens.
To use the Kinect you would need to use some sort of network proxy which sends the data in or you query it. The Kinect device, its streams and the SDK are not available in Windows Holographic. So basically you'd need another computer to process the Kinect streams, and then a proxy to forward, or listen for requests to the data from a HoloLens app.
