Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

HOW TO: Delete Multiple Clips or Screen Captures on Xbox One

From time to time, you may want to clean out all the screen shots and video clips you have recorded on the Xbox One.  Up until an update we received a few months back we had to delete the clips one by one.  Now we can select multiple clips and delete them all at once.


Here is How To Delete Multiple Clips or Screen Captures on Xbox One:




  1.  Load the Upload Studio App
  2. Click on Manage Clips
  3. Now just click the tick boxes next to the files you want to delete, or click the tick box in the upper right to select all.
  4. Click the Delete or Trashcan icon next to any selected file, and after you confirm you want to delete the files they will be removed.


REMEMBER: Once deleted from the cloud or your Xbox One Console, they are gone for ever, there is no way to recover delete files on Xbox One.

HOW TO: Set A Family Timer On Xbox One

Use the family timer feature on Xbox One to set screen time limits. Parents familiar with screen time limits for Windows 10 will find a similar set of controls for Xbox One. Set daily time allowance and limits for each child—your Xbox One will pick those limits up and enforce them whenever the child is signed in. 

This has to be done on any web browser on PC or on the Xbox One using Edge.






  1. Log in to http://account.microsoft.com using the Parent account
  2. On the blue menu bar click family
  3. Under the person you want to set a timer for select "screen time" all the way on the right
  4. Next to "Set limits for when my child can use devices" click the toggle to turn the family timer on or off, once it’s turned on you can set the max amount of time per play each day, or set multiple time slots per day.


You can also restrict usage on any Windows 10 PC your child has an account from this page as well.

Here’s a detailed look at some of the top new Xbox Live features rolling out to Xbox One today, which we announced and released to Xbox Insider earlier this year:

*An updated look at Home: One of the first things you’ll notice with this update is a new look for Home on Xbox One. We made these changes to simplify the UI and increase overall system performance. To do that, we’ve optimized for speed and are prioritizing the most valuable content for your games. Now, you’ll see a smaller icon for the game with options to dive deeper into the community surrounding the game, as well as the ability to interact with your Club or find Looking for Group posts, view your Achievements and more. If you do not have a custom background set, you’ll see that the updated Home also spotlights the game you’re currently playing by featuring hero art as your Xbox background.
