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.

With the release of the Xbox Series X|S consoles and an upgraded Xbox wireless controller, this process became even easier thanks to a dedicated capture button on the peripheral, which could be set up to capture a specific duration of content. Handy stuff for when you only want to share 15-30 seconds of video capture or a single screenshot.
