Xbox game bar recordings

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.

Hi venkatesh pullagura,

If you are referring to recording your screen like gaming content on an Xbox using Windows, you can consider using the built-in Xbox Game Bar.

See these articles:

Thanks,

• If nothing happens when you press the Windows logo key
  + G, check your Xbox Game Bar settings. Open the
  Start menu, and select Settings >
  Gaming and make sure Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Xbox Game Bar is
  On.
• If Xbox Game Bar doesn’t appear for a full-screen game, try keyboard shortcuts: Press the
  Windows logo key + Alt +
  R to start recording a clip, then press it again to stop. You’ll see the screen flash when the recording starts and ends.
