Xbox please add microphones to game clips

Hi HeatedZara,

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, there is no native way to add microphone audio to clips and captures through the Xbox. Videos with audio from the Microphone and party chat are usually captures with external capture cards or added in using editing
software.

I hope this answers your question.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

When you start recording a clip, you have the option to disable the microphone next to the stop recording button. By doing this, the clip will not record anything your microphone has picked up.

Hi Iman976,

Since this is happening with games bought and used from different platforms, there may be a PC setting that is causing this to happen. There's a possible setting where you have to turn on the microphone to record voice in your videos.

Go ahead and follow this guide to set up your headset microphone or any other microphone you use:

On the Game bar, go ahead and toggle the microphone mute button on and off when recording a video to test it out.

Let us know if that helps!

Hello Sploosh!

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Forums! As the Ambassador has previously stated, there is no way to record what you're playing with audio from a microphone. The only options you would have for that are the few examples the Ambassador laid out for you.
Which are when you're streaming from either the Mixer or Twitch apps or when you go to the Upload Studio after recording a clip and record a voice over for the clip. If you have any further questions regarding

Game clips and recording, please refer to the link provided or reply back letting us know. Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums!

Hello StC SpOrTsTeR,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are trying to use your microphone on Xbox app for Windows. We know it is important for you especially when you'd like to talk to your friends while gaming. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

This could happen because the microphone/headset's driver is not updated or else did not match the Windows system update. To have a better understanding, we would like to further isolate your concern.

1. Are you using a headset built-in microphone or a separate microphone? Please provide the make and model.
   
2. May we ask if you can use Xbox Game Bar? Please try to use the feature of Xbox Game Bar - record a clip. Where you can play and record your game then try to speak through your microphone. Here are the steps:
   
   • Enable Xbox Game Bar on PC settings and search on the search bar - Xbox Game Bar or else go to Gaming and turn on Xbox game bar.
     
   • On Xbox Game Bar (press Windows + G on keyboard), under capture widget ensure the microphone is enabled.
     
   • Launch a game and go back to Xbox Game Bar (press Windows + G on keyboard), and record a clip
     
   • Narrate the game or speak to the microphone and end the recording.
     
   • Listen to the recording and see if you can hear your voice.
     

Let us know the result and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We may recommend further troubleshooting steps once we have received your answers to the above questions.



Sincerely,
