Clip using your voice by saying Xbox Clip It

The phrase “Xbox, clip it” refers to capturing a short game clip using Xbox features. On Windows 10 or Windows 11, the Xbox Game Bar can be used to record video clips of games or apps.

To record clips on Windows 11 with Xbox Game Bar (including the last few seconds of gameplay when configured):

1. Enable Xbox Game Bar:
   • Press Windows key+I to open Settings.
   • In the search field, type “xbox”.
   • Move focus to “Enable Xbox Game Bar” and press Enter.
   • When the toggle is announced as off, press Spacebar to turn it on.
2. Record your screen or game:
   • Open the game or app.
   • Use the Xbox Game Bar shortcut (for example, the keyboard shortcut configured on the PC) to start recording a clip.
   • The Game Bar records a video clip of the current app or game, similar to a “clip it” action.

On Xbox consoles, a “game clip” is defined as a recorded section of video from a game, and Game Bar on PC is the overlay that lets users record game clips and share them.

If voice commands such as “Xbox, clip it” are used with voice-enabled Microsoft products, the audio of those commands can be stored as “voice clips” when users opt in to contribute them. These voice clips are de-identified and used to improve Microsoft’s speech recognition technology.
