How to make the Xbox Gamebar Overlay appear in my captures?

Luca_Enifoston · Apr 23, 2023

So I tried to capture the UI of the Xbox game bar but it won't appear in the video like on the Internet. Apart from Xbox capturing features themselves, I also tried using other screen recording and streaming softwares but they didn't work as well.

most capture software ignores overlays so you can then use the overlay while recording. don't think there is an easy way or even a way to do it.

the logo might be an overlay from the program, the xbox gamebar will only capture the window or fullscreen application. it does not capture overlays all the time.

Use OBS to record and set as display capture, gamebar will only capture application window and it ignores a lot of overlays, CAD apparently loves to draw elements onto overlay which some screen recorders ignore or cannot record. OBS will capture most but will also miss some.

Hi Farscape247,

thanks for your reply,

I tried to restore down and maximize the CAD window, to see if its worked but

When it goes restore down (the window is not fully maximized) the xbox game bar can capture (the CAD logo remains blank).

When it goes maximized, the xbox game bar capture nothing, error 0x82323007 always occurs :/

any captures will be in the captures folder under video, you don't need to look for them in the gamebar
