    Is there a way with Game Bar, to Record at a different resolution than the Desktop or Game...


    Just wondering how to capture in a different resolution than the Desktop/Default/Game is set at?

    For example, if your Desktop is set to 1920x1080, and the Game itself starts and runs at 1920x1080, is there a way to tell the Game Bar to Record at 1280x720?

    In the Gaming section, under Settings - there seems to be no way to configure a Resolution to capture at.

    There seems to be no way to set a Resolution that would be different from the Default Resolution of the Desktop (whatever it is at). That is, there is no way to change the 'size' that the Game Bar is capturing... (it will always be just at whatever the Desktop or Game itself was running at).

    [If this is something that is a bit too 'advanced' for average Users (from the view of Game Bar programmers) perhaps putting it behind an "Advanced Settings" button or menu, or similar, might allow such a setting to be included into the ever-evolving Game Bar. I have seen this setting (to record at a different resolution than the Desktop/Game is running at) in multiple game recording programs - but i'd rather use Microsoft's Game Bar to record my games, if possible! haha]

    Is there a way with Game Bar, to Record at a different resolution than the Desktop or Game is running at?

    Hi Tesityr. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    According to Microsoft Support, game clips are recorded at the video resolution specified in the game, up to 1080p. For games played at a higher resolution, game clips will be scaled down to the selected level.

    You can adjust video frame rate, but unfortunately, changing resolution is not an option.

    To adjust video quality, go to Start > Settings > Gaming > Captures.

    Thank you for your informative Reply!

    That is fine that the Resolution cannot be changed at this time, perhaps they might add it in the future... I was also wondering if I was 'missing something' in the Settings somewhere...

    Thanks again - if there is a way to mark this as 'solved/answered', I will. Take care

    how to record screen?

    Game Bar can only record individual games or apps, it can't record the desktop or switching between Windows applications.

    If want to do that, they will need a third party application.

    Software such as OBS can record the desktop. It's free and safe.

    Unfortunately the only way i found to change resolution for this game is to change your desktop resolution.

    Xbox Gaming Bar not recording full resolution on Ultrawide Monitor on Windows 10

    I had no idea such thing existed. I actually tried the ShadowPlay and it worked with recording at full resolution! Greatly appreciated.

    Its strange that Game Bar isn't working the way its supposed to but hey, ShadowPlay seems to be alot nicer.
