This button may be dimmed when you’re in some applications, however. The Record Last 30 Seconds button allows the Xbox Game Bar to save the previous 30 seconds of whatever you are doing in your currently focused application, which is great for when you do something super cool in a video game or encounter a bug in an application that you need to go back and snag. You can then access the recording via the “Show all captures” option in the Capture window, or you can find the mp4 file under C:UsersVideosCaptures Once you’re done recording, you can click the Stop button, and the recording will be saved. An additional window with recording controls will show up, featuring a time tracker, stop button, and another microphone control button. The Capture window will also tell you what application it’s currently focused on to record, and provides a link to show all of your captures taken by the Xbox Game Bar.Ĭlicking the Start Recording button will immediately begin the screen recording, as you might expect.

Additionally, there is a Pin button that lets you pin the Capture window to your desktop, so that when you close the Overlay, the Capture window stays visible and accessible.
