Hi there Mat,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an inquiry on the Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10. The game bar will only capture game clips and screenshots. For more information on the Xbox Game Bar, I recommend to check out the following

Step 2: Check Xbox Game Bar:

1. Press the Windows key + G on your keyboard to open the Xbox Game Bar.
2. If the Game Bar opens, it means gaming features are enabled, and you should be able to use them.

Step 3: Please Install Xbox Game Bar, If you don't have the Xbox Game Bar installed, Xbox Game Bar can get it from the Microsoft Store:

1. Open the Microsoft Store on your Windows 10 PC.
