How to create and share a screenshot or a video clip on Xbox Series X/S

Capturing a recent game moment

1. Start your game and play as usual.
2. When something noteworthy happens, press the Xbox button to open the guide. Press the X button to capture the last 30 seconds of your gameplay. For a more extended clip, press the View button and choose your desired duration, up to 2 minutes.
3. If you want to take a screenshot, open the guide and press the Y button instead of the X button. The screenshot is taken when you press the Xbox button, and pressing the Y button saves it.
4. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, then navigate to Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share to set the resolution and capture location.

Recording a new game clip

1. While in-game, press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Navigate to Capture & share > Start recording. The duration of your clip depends on factors like resolution and available storage.
3. Once you have captured the desired moment, open the guide again and press the X button. You will receive a message confirming that your clip has been saved.
4. To view your captures, select Recent captures in the same guide tab. Xbox automatically uploads these to the Xbox network.
5. If using the Xbox mobile app, you will receive a notification when a new capture is ready. You can delete captures from your console, the Xbox network, or both. To disable automatic uploading, go to Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share > Automatically upload.

Using the new Xbox Wireless Controller

1. A single press of the dedicated Share button captures a screenshot.
2. To record a clip, press and hold the Share button. Customize the Share button functions in the Accessories app, assigning actions like capturing a screenshot, recording gameplay, or starting recording to either a single press or press and hold.

Accessing your videos and screenshots on other devices

Once you upload your screenshot or video to Xbox Live, you can use the Xbox app on your Android-based or iOS-based mobile device to download the screenshots or videos from it.

Launch the app, navigate to the “My Library” tab, and you will see your captures. Open the needed one and press “Save”. This will save the chosen video or screenshot to the gallery of your mobile device.
