Is there any way to hear party chat/voice chat when I clip things? I just think it will...

Hello Dear User

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are having trouble on party chat when you clipping, and I understand your confusion.

Having voice chat in your clips can definitely make them more engaging, especially for capturing the full context of a moment. Unfortunately, by default, Xbox Series S doesn't record party chat or game voice chat when you clip gameplay, but there are a few ways you can work around this limitation to capture voice chat along with the game footage:

Enable "Include Party Audio" in Xbox Settings

Unfortunately, Xbox Series S doesn't automatically capture party chat when you make clips directly on the console. But if you're using a Xbox Live Party chat feature, there’s a setting to include party audio in recordings.

• On your Xbox Series S, follow these steps:
  

• Go to Settings > General > Volume & audio output.
  

• Under Party chat output, make sure "Headset" is selected so you can hear your party while recording clips.
  

• Ensure your party settings allow voice to be included in your clips (sometimes in settings within the party itself).
  

Although this setting will help during regular gameplay, it doesn't guarantee voice chat is automatically recorded with clips when you're using the Xbox’s native clip tool.

Use an External Capture Device (For More Control)

If you want more flexibility and control over your clips, you can use an external capture card like the Elgato or AverMedia devices. These capture cards allow you to capture both game and voice chat audio more reliably, including party chat.

• With a capture card, you can record everything, including game audio, voice chat, and even your microphone, all at once.
  

• Connect the capture card to your Xbox and your PC.
  

• Use the capture card's software to record clips.
  

• Adjust the audio settings in the software to ensure voice chat is included.
  

Use a Dedicated Audio Recording App

Alternatively, you can use an app or an external microphone to record your party chat separately and then sync it up with your game footage in video editing software later.

• You can use apps like Discord or a separate microphone to capture the chat, then sync it with your gameplay footage in something like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or even simpler editors like Shortcut.
  

Unfortunately, without a workaround (like using a capture card or an external app), Xbox consoles don't natively record party voice chat in clips. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks. 

Best Regards.

I think you're onto something there, it would be nice to be able to hear voice chat when you record a video clip. The amount of times I've been playing with someone or a couple of people and I've wanted to have the voice chat in the video clip, and it's
not there, is countless lol i think it would be a great feature to add

I'll clarify...

Im trying to capture in game voice chat when I record a clip on call od duty warzone. Im Im not in party chat and understand that game captures do not capture party chat.

Im trying to record in game voice chat not party

Question, I can hear the game audio, but I cant change the chat volume, yet I can still hear my friends in party's and game chat. The only way I can change how loud there voice is to change the game volume on my X12. I tried going to preferences and voice,
but when I switch to play through headset, I don't hear my friends. Is there anyway I can change my friends voice volume? Because chat volume doesn't work on game chat and party chat.

I don’t think you can fix it. The reason you can hear them is because the chat is in the game and mixed with the game’s audio (unless your squad is in xbox live party). Your voice is input and doesn’t come out of your speaker, thus not being recorded.
The same thing applies to your squad mates. If one of them records a clip, your voice will be heard in the clip but the person recording won’t.
