"1080p - 2 minutes" selected, but if the clip is saved using Xbox phone app, only 1 minute...

I have problems with even shorter clips. But It is saved most of time aproximately 1 minute clip. Sometimes only 15 second or 2 minutes.

If you use an external drive as the capture location, you can record footage at 1080p that's way longer than 1 minute, but it has 2 important limitations.

1. You have to start and stop the recording manually. You can't use the "record that" feature to capture longer clips of something that just happened; that would still be limited to 1 minute at 1080p.

2. Clips captured on external storage cannot be shared over Xbox Live.

I think it's a good solution if you're recording footage to transfer over to a PC, edit, then upload to YouTube, but it's no good if you want to capture longer clips to share with friends over Xbox Live.

I wonder why they reduced the recording times though. I'm sure when I got my Xbox Series X, there was a 2 minute option for 1080p, but now, as you said, it's only 1 minute.

hi there,

1)you can record upto 5 minutes on 720p and 2 minutes 1080p using xbox dvr. You can download clips to your pc using xboxdvr.com

2) you can purchase a capture card with more control. (elgato is the most popular)

I believe this is an issue with the recording app, when i clip game play it will sometimes only clip 3s or 15s even though i have it saved record 1 minute

Xbox One S by default captures 1080p with a max of 2 minutes.

Go to preferences > Broadcast & Capture

Under capture select Game clip resolution and choose 720p SDR. This will allow you to record 5 minutes. Be warned, the quality of video recordings will drop.
