You can no longer directly share screenshots or clips to Twitter from Xbox consoles or the Xbox Game Bar on PC as the social media platform shifts its rules.
It is no longer possible to upload and share screenshots and videos to Twitter from Xbox consoles or the Xbox Game Bar on PC. The move comes amid growing tensions between Microsoft and Twitter owner Elon Musk, who recently made a controversial change to the platform’s API rules.
While Microsoft has not confirmed if this change is permanent, this disabling comes after Twitter rolled out new access tiers for its API, including an Enterprise tier that reportedly costs $42,000 a month. It seems that Microsoft has opted not to foot that bill, instead disabling Twitter’s integration with Xbox on console and PC altogether.
Related Videos Shortly after the feature was disabled, the official Xbox Twitter account posted a step-by-step process of how players could still get their Xbox screenshots and clips on Twitter by sharing them from the Captures menu in the Xbox mobile app. When asked by fans why the change occurred, all Microsoft would say is that “we’ve had to disable the ability to share game uploads directly to Twitter.
If this is an intentional, permanent change, it also seems to indicate that Microsoft won’t be playing ball with Elon Musk’s Twitter changes. The two are currently in a social media war, as Microsoft will also be ending Twitter support on its advertising platform, while Musk teased that he might sue Microsoft. No longer being able to share screenshots or clips from one’s Xbox to Twitter comes as a consequence of this feud.
