Saving Clips on Xbox App: Why Is It Not Possible?

There are a few reasons why you may not be able to save clips on the Xbox app. First, make sure that the Allow Play To streaming and Allow broadcasts and Game DVR uploads options are both checked in your Preferences. This will enable you to save clips from games or other content you’re watching.

If these settings are already enabled, it’s pssible that your console is too full to save any more clips. Make sure to delete any unnecessary files or move them to an external storage device so that you can free up space for additional clips.

Finally, if you have recently changed your Xbox profile or gamertag, this culd also affect your ability to save clips. Try signing out of the Xbox app and then signing back in with the new profile information, and see if this resolves the issue.

You can easily edit clips with the Xbox Console Companion app by trimming the length of the recording, or uploading them to OneDrive for permanent storage. However, it’s important to keep in mind that Xbox has only a limited amount of reserved space for captures, so if that limit is reached, new captures will “push out” older captures.
