Microsoft Removes Xbox Gameplay Video Sharing to Twitter

Microsoft Xbox is removing its Twitter integration shortly before the social media platform’s new high-priced API plans go into effect.

Last week, Xbox gamers began to notice that they could no longer share video game clips to Twitter. The feature was previously built right into the console and allowed users to record gameplay and share their favorite moments right to the social media platform.

“We have had to disable the ability to share game uploads to Twitter directly from the console and Game Bar on Windows,” the official Xbox Twitter account replied(opens in a new tab) to a few users who noticed the removal of Twitter sharing. “You can still share your favorite moments to Twitter via the Xbox app for Android and iOS.”

Xbox’s statement adds news of an additional removal from the Game Bar available on Windows computers, which allows similar screen recording and social media sharing functionality.
