    Why can’t you take screenshots or clips of the UI?


    Why can’t you take screenshots or clips of the dashboard on Xbox? I can understand not being able to take screenshots in stuff like streaming apps, but what if my friend needs help with something, sure I can just record the video with my phone, but I have to carry it while showing it to them, and it’s just so much more convenient to simply press a button on the controller.

    :)

    Why can’t you take screenshots or clips of the UI?

    Because screenshots are from the GPU frame buffer, which doesn't include UI elements that are added later in the chain as an overlay

    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 FK97

    The short answer for this is to avoid DRM, this is why you can record only your gameplay and not streaming apps / apps in general or the dashboard

    xbox one screenshots question

    however, this doesn't work from a video clip already created, right?

    The option disappears.

    Basically, I am trying to pause the clip at the very moment I want to take a screenshot and the option is gone...I don't know why

    Like Taking Screenshots?

    I prefer to record clips than to take screenshots.

    How to download all my xbox clips at once?

    Hi,

    Open Upload Studio -> Manage Clips -> change the layout so the clips/screenshots are listed -> select the clips you want -> upload to OneDrive -> then Upload

    after they uploaded check your onedrive on the computer and then you can download them.

    I just uploaded them.

    Thank you, I totally forgot that I could use my onedrive for this!

    Now I don't need to go through the nightmare of uploading my 466 clips and screenshots one at a time.

    Is it normal for onedrive to take some time loading all my clips? so far only 2 clips are in the folder.
    It can take awhile, after completion wait about 15min to 1hr depends on the amount of clips and screenshots can take awhile for them to appear in the onedrive.
