Feature Request for Asha Sharma's team: Allow microphone recording in Xbox game clips

Hello, start the app and go to Settings (it's the gear icon) and then proceed to the Game DVR tab.

From there, scroll down until you see a slider for "Record my microphone when I record game clips."

Also, go to the Windows 10 Start menu > Settings > Privacy > Microphone and make sure the Xbox app is allowed to use it.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

When you start recording a clip, you have the option to disable the microphone next to the stop recording button. By doing this, the clip will not record anything your microphone has picked up.

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. With recording your voice it will not do this through the game bar itself. You either have to do it through the Xbox companion app or have a capture card. As this guide for

setting up streaming windows 10 shows it will only record from the Microphone on the PC not the headset.

Recorded audio

Record game play with or without sounds from your game and your microphone, and choose the audio quality.

• To record game sounds with your game clips, turn on Record audio when I record a game.
• To choose a different audio quality than the default, select the Audio quality box and choose one of the options.
• To record through your microphone, turn on Record audio when I record a game.

Thanks Brad. I went to the Companion app and it redirects me to the Windows 10 settings that you outlined above. Based on this, looks like the microphone has to be connected to the PC to record my own voice. Is there a way I can request this as a feature?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

There isn't a way to recover audio on an already recorded clip. But you can make sure the Microphone is enabled for your next recording.

- Go to Settings (press Windows + I key together) > Privacy.

- On the left hand pane scroll down and look for Microphone.

- Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone to ON.

- Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to ON.

- Restart the game bar.

Hope this helps.

This feature is requested quite frequently. I would love for this to be brought to xbox. I love grabbing awesome clips, but on handfuls of clips the extra commentary that made the moment are lost do to not recording party chat with it
