Xbox app console companion game DVR tap missing

@OP I think you need to research how to get the most out of your Xbox One, because at the moment it sound like you're not using it properly at all! You don't need the kinect to make and edit gameplay clips.

The double tap and 'X' will indeed record just the last 30 seconds, but if you double tap and open the 'game DVR' app you will be able to save up to 5 minutes of gameplay. You wont miss a thing!

Here's a tip: If you're playing a game that you think you will want to record gameplay from, open the 'game DVR' app right after loading the game. It will be running in the background while you play and when you want to save some footage the app will be
ready and waiting when you 'double tap'.

Do you mean sign out of the console companion app on my phone or is there a console companion app on my PC that I am missing?

When you double tap, do you see the option in the upper left, "X" for video "Y" for screenshot? Have you checked Game DVR to see if the screenshot actually saved and the console just didn't give you the notification? From the home screen press RT and select
My games and apps then select Game DVR.

Unfortunately, the Xbox app is missing several features that the Xbox Console Companion app offered. It's really annoying IMO, but there's nothing you can do.

If you not in the beta. Go to dashboard. Click on snap. And click on game DVR. I f you on beta. Double tap XBOX buttion. And then click on GAME DVR.
