Internal storage limit for game captures?

Hello All,

Sorry for the issue
with captures. This is highly dependent on the resolution you choose.

Depending on your game clip resolution and available storage space, clips can last up to 10 minutes (capturing to internal storage) or 1 hour (capturing to external storage).


Also, we cant confirm as we are still looking into it, developers may have limits to recording as it is their game.Also, as this is an older thread, I will be locking this one. To keep it going please create a new thread.

Thanks,

Brad

Try deleting some captures off of your consoles Internal drive after you upload them to the cloud.

You could also connect an external drive, formatted as the capture location for all your captures.

I think you only have limited space on the internal drive for captures, clips, screenshots etc. and once the limit is reached older captures are overwritten by newer ones.

"do captures save to the console’s internal storage regardless of whether or not they’re uploaded to the Xbox Network?"

All captures are initially stored on the console before they can be uploaded to the Xbox Network.

Only the captures you choose to be uploaded will be unless you choose automatic uploads in your Settings options.

Only uploaded captures (ie on the Xbox network) can be shared to your profile, clubs, etc.

There is a finite space for captures on the console so if space is all used up any further captures will overwrite the oldest captures.

Its possible to have a copy of a capture on the console as well as on the Xbox network but this limits your consoles storage for new captures. After uploading it's best to delete the console copy.

I’ve deleted all captures on my internal storage. Still, the problem remains.

Hi MellatiKa69

Manage storage on xbox console has useful information to assist you.

There is only a limited amount of Internal disc space reserved for capturing clips and screenshots, not the whole 1TB that comes with the console.

If you upload your clips etc to Xbox Live you wont need to keep them on your internal drive.

Alternatively you could set up another external drive, formatted to NTFS, and set your capture location to it. Be aware that capturing clips etc to an external drive means you wont be able to share them to Xbox Live.
