How to use Xbox Series X/S new screenshot & clip feature

Microsoft has finally introduced a dedicated share button onto the Series X and S controller, so find out how you can use it to take screenshots and grab in-game clips. 

Xbox One players will know just how annoying capturing in-game screenshots and clips could be. After all, having to frantically navigate through the console’s menu while still playing was an art in itself. However, Microsoft has now sought to fix this minor frustration by integrating a dedicated share button onto its latest line of controllers. 

Now Xbox Series X/S players can take as many screenshots and clips without having to take themselves out of the action. While it has taken a while for Microsoft to implement this feature, the new share functionality is certainly a welcomed one. Find out how you can quickly take screenshots and grab in-game clips with this new feature.
