Did you notice any performance degrading using Game DVR snapped to game?

Maybe a little bit. it Mostly matters on how many apps you got running in the background. If you have Many apps Running in the background You could see a difference in performance. Don't forget you like if you found This is helpful. Cheers my friend.☕

In those cases, I would use the Game DVR directly. At any time say "Xbox snap game dvr". After that, select the option "End clip". It will ask you if you want to save 30s, 1, 3 or 5 last minutes of gameplay. BTW, to switch between the snapped window and
the game itself, double tap the xbox button.

Fact remains, to each their own. You may love the Kinect, you may not like it. As you no doubt notice it is split.

Fact is, One says "Xbox Go To" and you are there. The other has to navigate using there controller. In game DVR. One says, "Xbox Record That" The Other Has to hit the Xbox Jewel Button, select snap, or the "double tap to snap" wait for snap to load the
snap-able options, then navigate to game DVR, select end clip now. Press Home select unsnap then go back into the game. And hopefully you have not died 3X in a MP game while doing all of that.

But then you could have pinned your most used features. But you only get so many pins.

It is really up to you.

You have to hit the Home button twice to bring up the sidebar, then navigate down to apps. Choose Game DVR from the apps menu. It'll snap it. Then you choose End Clip, and pick between 30 seconds, 1 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 and 5 minutes.

It'll record that amount of gameplay, and it'll also record your motionless or paused screen, in the inordinate amount of time it took you to get Game DVR snapped to record anything more than 30 seconds. Harrumph!

Used to be you hit Home twice, press right, choose Game DVR, and it'd snap. Done. Or you could snap Game DVR, close it, and then press Home twice and hit right to snap it instantly back in. Took two seconds. But that was before the "'fastest' most social
Xbox experience ever!" update.

I've noticed too that even if you choose to record 5 minutes now, it'll often pick some arbitrary time, like 3:46 or something. Weird. Needs fixing. Heh ha.

I get what you are saying but you don't need need snap game dvr at the start. Just play as normal and when you want to capture the last 30 seconds you can snap game dvr then and press end clip now. You don't even have to find game dvr as its an option in
snap. It's not as snappy (sorry!) As saying "Xbox record that" but it's just a few clicks.
