Configure Settings

- Find the “Moments” section and then select “Capture and Sound”.
  - Enable “Allow Moments to capture while gaming”.
  - Leave “Elevated capture” disabled.
  - Choose whether you want Moments to open after closing a game (I prefer this disabled).
  - Set the audio device to either default or to the device you use for game audio.
  - Set the chat device to default or to the device you use for voice chats.
  - Choose if you want your microphone audio to be recorded and set the input to default or your microphone.

Set Up Overlays and Notifications
- Switch to “Overlays and Notifications”:

  - Set the position for the notification and decide whether you want it to pause the game (I disable this to avoid distractions).
Configure Clips Settings

  - Set the quality for your clips to at least “High” (use “Medium” if needed).
  - Select a resolution; 1080p is usually fine.
  - Choose the FPS (frames per second). If you plan to edit the clips with slow-motion effects, use 60 FPS.
