Xbox Game Bar Not Letting Me Record/Capture

Hi FlameTheRaptor! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

All Windows 10 PCs should be able to capture screenshots in games, no matter what video card you have. To capture game clips, however, your PC’s video card must support one of these encoders:

Intel Quick Sync H.264

NVidia NVENC

AMD VCE

Hello Michelle Ravenwood,

Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

Based on the description, you are trying recording using the game bar with your discord voice. Let us see how we can help.

Windows Xbox Game Bar can capture recording your screen, any sound output and your mic. You can turn the mic off if you do not want to record what your mic picks up. This is how the Xbox Game Bar capturing works. You can also capture recording on the other app by changing the audio to record capturing setting. To check follow the steps below:

• Open Xbox Game Bar or Windows key + G
  
• go to Settings (gear icon)
  
• select capturing and under Audio to Record, tick All.
  

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,

Ok, my friend. You can try this, please:

Go to Settings in the Xbox Game Bar, Capturing, then “Audio to Record”. By default it is set as Game. You can change it to All as that includes Game audio, your microphone, apps, etc. This maybe can help to not stop recording when you alt + tab.

If it doesn't help too, please let me know.

Hi there addictgaming360,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is a question with game captures on PC. I recommend to check out the following article:

Hello EthanSL
My name is Ezequiel. I'm an Independent Consultant and I'm happy to help you today. Yes is possible.

While you're playing a game, press the Windows logo key + G to open Xbox Game Bar.
Choose Widget Menu > Capture.
Choose Start recording, Take screenshot, or Record last….
Record last… turns the most recent moments of play into a game clip when background recording is turned on. Set the duration in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures.
Find your game clips and screenshots by opening Game Bar and selecting Widget Menu > Gallery.
To set your resolution and upmarket everything to 4K:
To capture game footage, make sure the Record in the background while I'm playing a game checkbox is selected in Game Bar settings (or turn it on in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures).
For some PC games, Game Bar won't appear in full screen mode. To start and stop recordings without Game Bar, use the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key + Alt + R. The screen will flash to indicate the start and end of recording. If background recording is on, Windows logo key + Alt + G will record the last moments of play.
If the shortcuts don't work for a full-screen game, press the Windows logo key + G. The screen will flash twice to confirm that the game has been recognised. Then, re-open the game in full screen mode.
