How to record PC game clips with the Xbox app for Windows 10 Before uploading footage to Xbox Live, a clip must be created using Windows 10's Game Bar.

The Xbox Game Bar is one of the easiest-to-use screen-capturing tools available. The utility can be accessed from every game — including the desktop — via a hotkey.

Microsoft is upgrading the Xbox Game Bar on PC with new widgets that let you control other apps like XSplit without leaving the game first.

Windows 10 lets you use the Game bar to record gameplay footage and take screenshots of Windows PC games. You can also use it as a screen recorder, although that functionality is somewhat limited.
