How do I screen record on my Xbox One S console?

Press the XBox Home button, scroll across to the second to last menu option on the right...that's the capture menu. Somewhere there is an option to start recording your gameplay...there is also an option to change how long you will record for etc (I believe the longest is 10 minutes but could be wrong)

how did this happen when i don't recall opening the controls panel and i don't have an idea about control panel. i also did what i usually do when i start a screen recording on my previous videos but it all works just fine aside from this one. literally everything that i did in starting my previous saved screen record is also what i've done in this recent one, so what's the problem. and it's just a pitch black recording, not even my mouse cursor was captured in the screen recording

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues recording a gameplay on your Xbox.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectation properly, the Xbox Series X/S doesn't offer a visual timer or flashing light on the screen or console to indicate when recording is active, unlike PC recording software. This feature is not yet available in the Xbox Live Services. This is truly a cool suggestion if this happens in the future.

I hope this answers your question today, Lamont.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Windows 10 has a native feature that lets you record a video clip -- of up to 2 hours -- of your screen. But you may not have noticed this feature, because it's hidden away inside the Xbox app.

How long was it after you started recording when you checked if it was still recording?

how long do you have your console set to record for?

Have you tried
power cycling your console?
