• Options include recording a 30-second gameplay clip.
• Xbox Wireless Controller’s Share button can be remapped for additional actions.
• If you accidentally tap the button, set it to No Action to make it a plastic bump.

Xbox Series X may have additional options available to them when using the Share button.

Anyone who’s used an Xbox Series X|S controller for a while knows its Share button is annoying.

The Xbox Wireless Controller’s Share button often interferes. Its location between the View and Menu buttons makes it simple to mistakenly press while playing.

If you’re overly passionate with the thumbstick in Forza 5, you may accidentally screenshot your car leaving the track. Distracted in Halo Infinite, you may capture the moment an enemy Warthog runs you down.

The Reddit post has sparked debate over the Share button’s placement, but there’s an easy fix. Microsoft released an update for the Xbox Series X|S this year that lets you reassign the Share button to custom actions or none.

If you’re accidentally taking hundreds of screenshots, remap the Share button.

Easy remapping “My games & apps” > “Xbox Accessories” If you’re using a PC controller, download the programme from Microsoft (opens in new tab).

Configure the controller after opening the app. Right-click a profile to edit it. Assign the Share button any action.

Options abound. You may remap it to record a 30-second gameplay clip, mute your TV, turn on Night Mode, or open an app or game. If you accidentally tap the button, set it to No Action to make it a plastic bump.

Customizable. Adjust the Share button’s double-tap and hold actions. Single-button presses can accomplish nothing, double-taps can capture a screenshot, and holds can record video. Screenshots are possible.

One Redditor remapped to switch games rapidly. It prevents accidental screenshots even without procedures. Experiment!
