Capture (Take Screenshot / Start Recording) options disabled in XBox Game Bar after...

I understand on Xbox press the center button on the Xbox controller to bring up the options menu. Access the “Capture and share” tab and select one of the options “Record what happened”, “Start recording” or “Take screenshot”.

Sincerely, Fernando

You can completely disable the Game Bar if you go to your Windows Settings>Gaming, first thing you will see there is an option to be able to use the Game Bar for recordings ands friends, you can disable it. If you only want to diable recordings go to Settings>Gaming>Captures, there you will find an option to disable the Background Recording characteristic

Do I take it this is the path where you are looking:

"To find your game clips and screenshots, select the Start button, then go to Settings > Gaming > Captures and select Open folder."

Try opening Game Bar (Win+G) and then click on the Capture icon (the little camera picture)...does it show anything if you click on "show all captures"

How are you recording video/taking screenshots? Are you using Game Bar or something else?

Hey there jmonk,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Forums. When you capture game clips on your Xbox One it starts to record automatically on screen. There would be no way to utilize a webcam to capture game clips.

Go ahead and take a look at the following support article for helpful information on

Recording and capturing Xbox One game clips and screenshots.

I hope this helps.

To disable Game Bar:

1. Right-click the Start button.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Game Bar
4. Click the switch below Record game clips. Screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar so that it turns Off.
