Upload YouTube Videos From Xbox One Starting Tomorrow
Microsoft has announced that the YouTube app on Xbox One will be getting a major update tomorrow, April 8. The new version will be integrated with Game DVR (scheduled for improved resolution in the April update), meaning you’ll finally be able to put your recorded clips on YouTube directly from your console.
You can capture video with the “Xbox, record that” command, edit your footage in Upload Studio, and send it to YouTube from that app. The new app will also allow you to watch videos in snap mode.
Tomorrow will also mark the availability of the GoPro app on Xbox 360. Owners of the active use cameras will be able to view curated content from other users.

Our Take
With this update, users will have the control over their videos they’ve been asking for since before the Xbox One’s launch. You’ll need to go through a couple of steps to get your video onto YouTube, but for those that don’t have an external capture device, this new feature provides new access and the potential of new audience.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
