Use Xbox Inbuilt Recording Feature

Xbox allows you to use the screen capture feature for your gameplay recording. 

Step 1. Start the game you want to record, and tap the Xbox button on your controller.

Step 2. Switch to Capture & share > start recording.

Step 3. Tap the share button to stop recording. 

Pros:

• Inbuilt screen recording feature - easy to use.

Cons:

• Allow only 15 sec - 2 min recording Without external storage. 
• Need to send videos to external/OnedDive for further editing - complex & confusing.
• Cannot record yourself playing your games.

So, it is highly recommended that you use and set a USB (3.0 & NTFS) as your external storage to store your captured videos: Broadcast & capture > Capture location > External.

 * A 64GB USB can help you record up to around 1 hour.
