the game bar while recording

Hi SHNIDER,

Thank you for coming to the forums. Are you referring to hiding the task bar at the bottom of the screen where notifications appear as well?

I'm not sure if you can hide the task bar completely but you can toggle it so that it disappears unless you scroll your mouse over it. You can also manage other taskbar settings by following these steps:

1. Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar. (If you're in tablet mode, hold a finger on the taskbar).
2. Click taskbar settings.
3. Toggle Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode to on. (You can also do the same for tablet mode).

I hope this helps!

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.

Are you trying to record gameplay using Game Bar while streaming you Xbox to PC?

Tks. Needed to have Game Bar open to click and drag the active recording dialogue. Couldn't move it while recording without GB overlays active.
