Xbox game bar recordings not saving

MisterSquidwardPerson · Jul 2, 2022

Hello Spongebobs, I want to clear out that this is not an urgent problem, but I would enjoy if it was solved

AHEM, so I was playing geometry dash verifying a level. So, I record it on Xbox gamebag, I get really far in a level and look for the file. I saw the file nowhere in the game bar or file explorer. I want to post this on my YouTube, so I really want that file. Thank you in advance to whoever reads this and cares enough to answer it

☺

I assume by the 'playback feature' you mean the record time? The Windows Game Bar maximum record time that can be set is 4hrs. This can be changed in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures.

The Windows Game-Bar uses a video recording codec that requires the file to be finalised in order for it to be saved. This means that either if the recording is stopped via the Game Bar or the recording ends on its own once the maximum time is reached, the file should save. If for some reason there a fault or a system crash, the video recording won't save as it won't complete the 'finalising' process.

If you're referring to the Xbox Game Bar on PC, it saves to your hard drive as default. If you go to the Settings app on your PC, click on 'Gaming', and then on the side bar, click on 'Captures'. That will show you where the Xbox Game Bar recordings and
screenshots are stored.

Hope you're doing great today mate!

May I know if you double check where clips are saved on your computer via Xbox game bar settings?

Also, you could try checking temp folder and see if it's there:

Open Windows Search by clicking on it or with the Win + S shortcut, then enter “%temp%” into the search box, and then click on its entry when it comes up.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Expert, and I'll do my best to help you.

The temporary data for background recordings in the Windows Game Bar is stored in the RAM of your computer and is not saved to disk. It is stored as a buffer in the memory, and the video is not saved to disk until you explicitly choose to save it by pressing Win + Alt + G and selecting "Save".

Once you choose to save the recording, it is saved to a folder of your choice on your local disk. By default, the saved recordings are stored in the "Videos" folder in your "Documents" directory. You can change the default save location for the recordings by going to the Windows Game Bar settings and modifying the "Recorded videos" option.
