Capture Game Chat or Party Chat on Xbox Series X

Hi JTORN! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Currently game clips on the Xbox consoles won't record party/in-game chat neither your own audio, it's not a feature on the Xbox clips

That's unfortunate considering PC and PS4/PS5 can do it. Hopefully the feature will be added via update in the future. Thanks for the clarification though...I've been searching for a concrete answer on the subject for some time now.

I'll clarify...

Im trying to capture in game voice chat when I record a clip on call od duty warzone. Im Im not in party chat and understand that game captures do not capture party chat.

Im trying to record in game voice chat not party

Hello Dear User

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are having trouble on party chat when you clipping, and I understand your confusion.

Having voice chat in your clips can definitely make them more engaging, especially for capturing the full context of a moment. Unfortunately, by default, Xbox Series S doesn't record party chat or game voice chat when you clip gameplay, but there are a few ways you can work around this limitation to capture voice chat along with the game footage:

Enable "Include Party Audio" in Xbox Settings

Unfortunately, Xbox Series S doesn't automatically capture party chat when you make clips directly on the console. But if you're using a Xbox Live Party chat feature, there’s a setting to include party audio in recordings.

• On your Xbox Series S, follow these steps:
  

• Go to Settings > General > Volume & audio output.
  

• Under Party chat output, make sure "Headset" is selected so you can hear your party while recording clips.
  

• Ensure your party settings allow voice to be included in your clips (sometimes in settings within the party itself).
  

Although this setting will help during regular gameplay, it doesn't guarantee voice chat is automatically recorded with clips when you're using the Xbox’s native clip tool.

Use an External Capture Device (For More Control)

If you want more flexibility and control over your clips, you can use an external capture card like the Elgato or AverMedia devices. These capture cards allow you to capture both game and voice chat audio more reliably, including party chat.

• With a capture card, you can record everything, including game audio, voice chat, and even your microphone, all at once.
  

• Connect the capture card to your Xbox and your PC.
  

• Use the capture card's software to record clips.
  

• Adjust the audio settings in the software to ensure voice chat is included.
  

Use a Dedicated Audio Recording App

Alternatively, you can use an app or an external microphone to record your party chat separately and then sync it up with your game footage in video editing software later.

• You can use apps like Discord or a separate microphone to capture the chat, then sync it with your gameplay footage in something like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or even simpler editors like Shortcut.
  

Unfortunately, without a workaround (like using a capture card or an external app), Xbox consoles don't natively record party voice chat in clips. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks. 

Best Regards.

Hello JoeDaddy89,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you want to know if your Twitch stream still picks up party audio when you switch party to in-game chat on Xbox Series X. This is a good question and I will try to help you with it.



The answer depends on how you are streaming your gameplay. If you are using the Twitch app on your Xbox Series X, then your stream will only pick up the audio from the chat channel that you are currently in. So, if you switch from party chat to in-game chat, your stream will also switch to in-game chat audio. However, if you are using a capture card or a PC to stream your gameplay, then you may have more options to control the audio sources. For example, some capture cards have separate audio inputs for game sound and chat sound, so you can choose which one to include in your stream. Similarly, some streaming software on PC have audio mixer features that allow you to adjust the volume or mute different audio sources.
