Xbox Game Clips Can No Longer Be Shared To Twitter Directly From Consoles

Xbox has confirmed that sharing game clips directly from Xbox consoles and PCs (via the Windows Game Bar) to Twitter has been disabled, likely due to Twitter’s API changes. While Microsoft hasn’t offered a reason for why this function has been removed, it does come in the wake of a new Twitter policy that charges companies a starting fee of $42,000 per month for API access.

Microsoft is now advising that users make use of the Xbox mobile app to directly share clips on Twitter from their accounts. The Xbox DVR system has been fairly popular for sharing clips online since its inception, as it’s relatively simple to tap a button and show off a noteworthy moment of gaming within seconds.
