Xbox game bar not recording in 4:3 stretched

Hi there. This was all I was able to find on changing capture settings for Xbox Game bar. Hopefully it will help lead you to a solution:

Yes, the recommended is 1366 x 768 (16:9), however I would prefer to play on a 4:3 ratio. usually, when I get good clips in games I use xbox game bar to clip since it drops not much FPS unlike other softwares. Before, I used to use medal however it would drop a lot and in medal clipping there was a feature that was "make clips stretch to 16:9" which would make my 4:3 clips get stretched to be 16:9 and I was wondering if this feature existed on xbox game bar

I am on laptop and I would prefer not to change my resolution, I am unsure if what I am asking for is stupid

Hello AdidasPK,

We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

We understand that you are having trouble recording Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself. I'll be happy to assist you with this.



To record Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself, you need to enable the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option in the Game Bar settings. Here are the steps to do so:



1. Press the Windows key + G to open the Game Bar.

2. Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) on the Game Bar.

3. In the Game Bar settings, make sure that the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option is turned on.

4. Also, make sure that the "Record audio when I record a game" option is turned on if you want to record audio along with your gameplay.

5. Once you have enabled these settings, you can start recording your gameplay by pressing the Windows key + Alt + R.



Please note that not all games support Game Bar overlay recording. If you are having trouble recording Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself, it could be due to the game not supporting this feature. You can check the game's display settings to see if there are any options related to Game Bar overlay recording.

My first complaint are that TV episodes can't be selected before loading a show. A bigger complaint is that the option to stretch old 4:3 programs to fit a 16:9 screen is gone (I hate those vertical black bars on older movies and shows!)

You can't play KOTOR in 16:9 because the game has not the option to play on HDTVs. Original Xbox games were created with 4:3 screens in mind, so you can play it on 360 but in 4:3. Some tvs have an option in their menus (not 360's) to "stretch" the 4:3 image
in 16:9 but it looks horrible.
