Capture Software Not Capturing Audio and Software Crashes when attempting to trim Clips on...

Hi HeatedZara,

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, there is no native way to add microphone audio to clips and captures through the Xbox. Videos with audio from the Microphone and party chat are usually captures with external capture cards or added in using editing
software.

I hope this answers your question.

There used to be an app called Upload Studio which has just been removed from the App Store. To trim your videos from your Xbox follow these steps.

1. First capture your gameplay by pressing your xbox button followed by X.

2. After a short while your clip will have saved to your recent captures.

3. To see these captures press your xbox button again and move to Capture & Share.

4. Go to recent captures and press A, then choose which clip you want to trim and edit.

5. An option should now appear near bottom of list saying Trim.

6. It may take several moments to load in your clip.

7. Move your left analogue to trim your clip from.the start and your right to trim it from the end.

8. When finished press A to preview clip or X to save.

Hope this has helped.

you could use a capture card on a pc and connect the 360 there and have the voice output to the speakers,

Than use the software that captures the video to capture the audio also

I agree its not the greatest at this point in time. I usually only use the upload studio to trim short clips. If I really want to edit videos, I capture to my pc and use different software. I would like to think that it will get a good update in the future
or at least when the series x comes out.

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.
