A Game Bar clip has video but no narration: review the recording microphone
If a clip shows the problem in a game but your spoken explanation is absent, compare the recorded game sound with the microphone track before changing game audio settings.
Read the setting
Microsoft documents a Game Bar microphone toggle during recording. Check its state on a short private test in a safe menu. Capture only the game and sounds you have permission to record.
Compare a specific example
Play the sample locally. Game sound with no voice narrows the check to narration or microphone input. Silence throughout calls for checking what the capture includes. If voice is required for a bug report, a written description can convey the same steps.
Frequently asked question
Where do I check the clip?
Microsoft says Game Bar saves clips in the Videos folder under Captures by default.
