Should Xbox Gaming Bar Have a Record Screen option

I have the same problem. The position of the recording bar is terrible. For me, it blocks the minimap on most games I'm trying to record, which is usually in the upper right corner. There should be an option to drag it elsewhere or select a preferred screen
position.

I've since started using the Nvidia Overlay to record. The default recording bar position is bottom right but it can be changed in options. I only use the Windows Gamebar for games the Nvidia won't support and just deal with having my minimaps blocked.

Hello there!

If you have used Xbox gamebar to record you can try checking this link in order to resolve your issue Use a screen reader to record your screen with Xbox Game Bar (microsoft.com).

Hello btwziko,

Thank you for the response and for sharing the screenshot.

You can share here a screen recording as long as your personal information is concealed. However, for this concern, you do not have to share a screen recording as the Xbox Game Bar have already written the warning. The game's settings will not support the Xbox Game Bar to record your game play not as long as you switch into full screen borderless in your video options. As we recall you mentioned the Xbox Game Bar to be working on Windowed Fullscreen. It is by default for this game to record it in such settings. There are games however, you can play on full screen and there are others on Windowed Fullscreen.

Should you need Xbox Game Bar to be working on Fullscreen gameplay for Minecraft or specific games. Please send out feedback to both Team Xbox and the game support (Mojang Support for Minecraft).

On Xbox Game Bar, go to settings and look for feature. Please specify what edition you are playing like you have mention here: Xbox Game Bar to be available for Minecraft Java in full screen mode.

On this link for Minecraft Feedback (New post – Minecraft Feedback), please provide the same details you have mention on Xbox Game Bar.

We appreciate you have brought this to our attention. Please send feedback to request Xbox Game Bar to record game play on the fullscreen mode. We hope this will be available in the future update of Minecraft Java Edition.

If you have further concerns kindly create a new thread using this link - Create a new question or start a discussion.

Hi venkatesh pullagura,

If you are referring to recording your screen like gaming content on an Xbox using Windows, you can consider using the built-in Xbox Game Bar.

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.
