Recover lost Xbox Game Bar recording

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Dulain

Usually when a file is stored in the temp folder (temporary)
The system from time to time delete the files inside this folder
If you’re not able to see those files and if you didn’t moved the clips before this, unfortunately the clips were deleted permanently and is not possible to recover them, sorry

Hi Abayomi!

Since it already has been recorded and rendered, I am afraid there's no way to recover the lost audio. Probably when you were recording it, it encountered an issue with the game or app. Sorry to hear about what happened.

You can try follow these steps on data file recovery to recover your lost Xbox Game Bar captures: https://support.microsoft.com/windo...c modes,recover files: Regular and Extensive.

Hello AdidasPK,

We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

We understand that you are having trouble recording Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself. I'll be happy to assist you with this.



To record Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself, you need to enable the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option in the Game Bar settings. Here are the steps to do so:



1. Press the Windows key + G to open the Game Bar.

2. Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) on the Game Bar.

3. In the Game Bar settings, make sure that the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option is turned on.

4. Also, make sure that the "Record audio when I record a game" option is turned on if you want to record audio along with your gameplay.

5. Once you have enabled these settings, you can start recording your gameplay by pressing the Windows key + Alt + R.



Please note that not all games support Game Bar overlay recording. If you are having trouble recording Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself, it could be due to the game not supporting this feature. You can check the game's display settings to see if there are any options related to Game Bar overlay recording.

Hi CraftyCat1000,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums, I'd be happy to try and help here.

Whatever was recorded is what was saved to your storage device so there would be no way to recover what gameplay was not captured when you press the shortcut. Open your Windows settings and go into Gaming. In the Xbox Game Bar settings you can set how far
back you want to record, which should be set to 30 secs by default, but in order for the clips to be properly recorded and saved you need to make sure that the recorder is always on and recording in the background. If not, then whatever you played previously
was not being recorded. You can turn on that setting from the Xbox Game Bar settings.

Make sure you have that set up correctly and try recording a clip again to see if it captures correctly.
