Xbox game bar doesn't allow me to share games as status

I'd love to use the game bar in pc games, it be good to share screen shots with friends on xbox. The thing just doesn't work properly in full screen though. I managed to take a screen of a game on pc through the game bar, when I went to share it, it just
came up as not recognised. Think it was the witcher.

I have same problem. In [tag:Windows10] game bar overlays default application for battery status (that doesn't work). :-(

Hello DraketonE, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you're experiencing difficulty finding the clip sharing button in the Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11, here are some possible reasons and solutions:

Game Bar Update: There may have been an update to the Xbox Game Bar that has changed the location or way the clip sharing button is accessed. I would recommend checking if there are any updates available for the Game Bar and making sure you have the latest version installed.
Settings changes: There may have been changes to the Game Bar settings that affected the availability of the clip sharing button. Go to the Game Bar settings and check the options related to screenshot and video recording to make sure they are set correctly.
Game Compatibility: Some games may have specific restrictions or limitations on sharing clips. Check if the Ascended Ark Survival game has any restrictions on capturing and sharing clips. You can check the forums or the game documentation for more information on this.
Restart the Game Bar: Try restarting the Xbox Game Bar. Right-click the Game Bar icon in the taskbar and select "Close Game Bar." Then, reopen the Game Bar and check if the clip sharing button is available again.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards.

Hi,

You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
tap G on the keyboard.

Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
Xbox button.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.
