Windows 10: Set video recording quality - Xbox game bar

Hi everyone,


I'd like to know if there's a way to set a lower quality for video recording using Xbox game bar.


In my computer, I can only see two options: default and high. I think both record 1080p videos, which it's just too much for my needs.


Thanks in advance

:)

Recording video with game bar


I have always recorded videos using 3rd party software, but yesterday, I recorded the Remembrance Sunday programme on BBC using the game bar recording mode. My stepson was marching in it and we saw him *Smile.

I was really impressed with quality of recording, both sound and video.

The programme was over two hours, and the mp4 file was not that excessive at 5GB.

I doubt I will bother using 3rd party tools anymore.
