  1. can't take a screenshot


    Hello,

    is there anything to specifically set in the system-menu to be able to take screenshots?

    I have the latest console-update, my "upload" and "onedrive" apps are ready...but if I double-click the home button, the typical little windows pop up BUT I cant take

    screenshots. The typical "pictures" of the x- and y-buttons are missing to start a clip, take a screenshot and so on!

    I tried different settings in the system-menu without success.

    Anyone an idea what the reason can be?

    thanx,

    Bye

    :)

    Can't take screenshots

    I haven't been able to take any screenshots for a few weeks now. When i double tap the home button the option to take one by pressing Y isn't there. I never had any problems before. It just disappeared randomly out of nowhere.

    Can't take clips/screenshots

    One day I got on my Xbox one, and I was playing a game. When I wanted to record something and double tapped the Xbox button, the record clip or screenshot button were not there. My friend told me that I had to delete clips and screenshots from the DVR, but
    when I go to it, it never works.

    can't take a screenshot

    Hi ShortMarcGold

    Sorry you're not able to take a screenshot. Do you have a Kinect, if so does it work when you say "Xbox, Take a Screenshot"? If you do not have Kinect and the option is not there, then try going into the Settings > Preferences, and then see if the
    option to "allow broadcasts and game captures" is turned off. If it is, then turn it on and see if you can take a screenshot while in a game.

    Can't take screenshots at all on XB1?

    Heya witchmark.

    Let's start off by having you remove your Xbox Live profile from your Xbox One, power down your console completely, and then add your profile back. Let us know how it goes :)

    I have the same problem as GameRitter246 and I did check my preferences and it is enabled so there must be another reason why it's not working

    Taking screenshots

    I just say "xbox take a screenshot" with Kinect , should be a double tap on the home button then "Y" button....

    also Make sure 'Allow Broadcasts and game DVR uploads' is still checked in settings / preferences.
