Gnae clips/screenshots as Xbox home background

Thanks for the update.

Based on the info you’ve shared, it looks like the option to view your current background image through the background settings menu is no longer available.

Since your original screenshot no longer appears in Captures, and you haven’t changed the background yet, your best bet now is to take a new screenshot of your Home screen while the image is still visible.

Here’s how to save a copy of your current background:

Go to your Xbox Home screen

Press the Xbox button, then press Y to take a screenshot

Go to Capture & share > Recent captures

Upload it to OneDrive or save it to a USB drive

This will include anything visible on the Home screen (like tiles and game icons), so it’s not a clean copy, but it’s still a way to keep a version of the background before it’s gone.

I'd use it for posting a few shots to Twitter or for custom background use.

Like I said I can do it now in a work around sort of way. " record that " watch clip on Smartglass "pause" at desired frame " take screenshot on phone " clip picture and post.

Can you elaborate what method you are using to try and take screenshots?

When ingame do you press the Nexus button to bring up the Home Guide, then move to the right to Capture and share, then Capture>Capture a screenshot?

Capture game clips and screenshots provides support for this feature.

If you have a lot of clips on your console you may want to upload them to XBox Live so you can delete some of them from the console.

There is only a finite space for clips and shots stored on the console.

Once you start an upload from your console to OneDrive, the videos and pictures to be uploaded are added to a queue and uploaded in the background. After a while they should be visible in OneDrive.

Game clips will be available in Videos folder and then in a folder named Xbox Game DVR. Screenshots will be under folder named Xbox Screenshots inside Pictures folder. You can obviously try to search the term "xbox" in your onedrive.

Pretty sure you can post from your Activity feed to a club you belong to on XBox console.

One drive to your phone is also possible as I use a screenshot from a game as a background on my phone.

Can't help you as far as laptop is concerned, but with the OneCloud app you should be able to save a screenshot or clip to your PC laptop.
