Xbox no longer captures video for 2 minutes at 1080p?

Try changing your capture setting, you can capture up to 5 minutes of 720p video or 2 minutes of 1080p video.

Xbox One S by default captures 1080p with a max of 2 minutes.

Go to preferences > Broadcast & Capture

Under capture select Game clip resolution and choose 720p SDR. This will allow you to record 5 minutes. Be warned, the quality of video recordings will drop.

If you use an external drive as the capture location, you can record footage at 1080p that's way longer than 1 minute, but it has 2 important limitations.

1. You have to start and stop the recording manually. You can't use the "record that" feature to capture longer clips of something that just happened; that would still be limited to 1 minute at 1080p.

2. Clips captured on external storage cannot be shared over Xbox Live.

I think it's a good solution if you're recording footage to transfer over to a PC, edit, then upload to YouTube, but it's no good if you want to capture longer clips to share with friends over Xbox Live.

I wonder why they reduced the recording times though. I'm sure when I got my Xbox Series X, there was a 2 minute option for 1080p, but now, as you said, it's only 1 minute.

my xbox will only let me capture 2 minutes of video at 1080p. And lets say in the game I'm running and the recording stops as I'm running. I'd have to stop playing/running and start recording/running every 2 minutes.

I just tried to Capture a 2 minute playback with 1080p resolution. I went in and selected the Capture time as usual, so it should have captured it. It's been 10 minutes and my Xbox hasn't told me it's captured anything, and nothing shows up on my
Recent Captures list.
