Losing recorded clips without actually deleting them

To find your clips and screenshots, select the Start button, then go to Settings > Gaming > Captures and
select Open folder.

You can record clips without using the Kinect - simply snap the game dvr app, choose to start or end a clip, the amount of time to record (up to 5 minutes), then it records. It's easy! You can't record a voice-over or show a clip of your face, but the ability
to record without the Kinect IS there. It actually surprises me how many people don't realize it.

Hi I'm very frustrated with this as well! I've recently over the past week been recording hundreds of video clips (Microsoft limits the clips to 4min 1080p on my xbox one s internal 1tb hd and again why?) only to find that all of the clips are gone beyond 1day ago recordings. These clips were recorded to my internal hd and not uploaded to live. I was recording them for myself to be used on my xbox hd and they have been deleted without warning. Why? After some digging I've heard the video has to be viewed to be saved, again why? So my question is how do I know if a game clip is tagged as viewed if I don't see an eye icon on the clip? Do my own views of the clip not count? This is poor software development and I expect better of people operating in 2023. As has been said there should be an option for the auto deletion of game clips if at all. I mean really if someone can't manage their own hd space use maybe they should find another hobby that requires less thought...

Always save your recorded clips otherwise you might lose them. There is nothing you can do now but I suggest you to always make a back up.

Older clips are deleted as newer clips are recorded if you've gone over the threshold. There isn't a "time limit" on the clips.
