  1. Step 4 Select Record what happened.
    It's the first option in the Capture & Share menu. This displays a menu that allows you to select if you want to record the last 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.
    • Alternatively, you can press and hold the Share button on your controller to save the last 30 seconds of gameplay. The Share button is in the center of the Xbox Series X controller and has an icon that resembles a box with an arrow pointing up. You can change how much time this saves in the "Capture Settings" menu at the bottom of the Capture & Share menu. By default, you can save 30 seconds of 4K video, 1 minute of HD video, or 3 minutes of video a 720p resolution.
    • If you have an external hard, you can save up to 1 hour of gameplay footage. Your external hard drive must have a USB 3.0 connection and be formatted in NTFS file format. Once your hard drive is connected using a free USB port, select "Capture Settings" at the bottom of the Capture & Share menu. Then select your external hard drive under "Capture Location."[4]
