    Hey there, my microphone is Blue Yeti Nano. When I try to record a video, I notice that the final result of the recording quality from the microphone is noticeably worse. Is it fixable?

    Hello did you try to make the Audio Adjustments in System Configuration? Try following these steps:

    1- Open the Game Bar with WinLogo + G
    2- Click on Gear
    3- Go to Edit More Settings in Windows Settings (something Like this)
    4- Right Side Click On Catches
    5- Locate and reconfigure Audio Quality For Microphone

    Game Bar Does Not Record my voice during party chat

    Hi Mbathula,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. With recording your voice it will not do this through the game bar itself. You either have to do it through the Xbox companion app or have a capture card. As this guide for

    setting up streaming windows 10
    shows it will only record from the Microphone on the PC not the headset.

    Recorded audio

    Record game play with or without sounds from your game and your microphone, and choose the audio quality.

    • To record game sounds with your game clips, turn on Record audio when I record a game.
    • To choose a different audio quality than the default, select the Audio quality box and choose one of the options.
    • To record through your microphone, turn on Record audio when I record a game.
    Thanks,

    Brad

    Thanks Brad. I went to the Companion app and it redirects me to the Windows 10 settings that you outlined above. Based on this, looks like the microphone has to be connected to the PC to record my own voice. Is there a way I can request this as a feature?
