Everyone who loves video games wanted to share a cool moment or a hilarious glitch they saw with their friends. With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, it's never been easier.
Much like the PS4 and Xbox One, both consoles come with buttons on their respective controllers dedicated entirely to capturing screenshots and clips. However, you had to upload those screenshots to Twitter, OneDrive, or a USB device in order to get them off the consoles and onto your phone, where it's easier to share them. By the grace of the universe, that is no longer the case.
here's how automatically beam captures from any of these game consoles to your mobile device.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are able to connect to special mobile apps that you can find on your device's app store, which is key to making all that capture magic happen. To get screenshots of your PS5 on your phone without posting them to Twitter first, download the PlayStation app on iOS or Android. You'll also want to make sure your PS5's system software is up to date.
Once you're signed in to your PlayStation Network account on the PS5 and in the mobile app, open it up and click on the tab along the bottom row that shows six squares placed behind a silhouette of the PlayStation controller to access to your game library. Then, at the top of the screen, switch from "Games" to "Captures". You should get a prompt to allow automatic capture uploads from the console to the app. Say yes, otherwise you will just be wasting a lot of time reading this article.
And that's all! Going forward, any screenshot or clip (less than three minutes long) that you capture using the DualSense's dedicated share button (located to the left of the touchpad) will automatically appear in this section of the mobile app, where it will stay for 14 days. You can save and share them from the application as you see fit.
Nothing easier.

For Xbox users, the process of getting clips from your console to your phone is pretty much exactly the same as on PS5. The only difference is that you actually have to do a little less work. We love to hear it.
Download the Xbox app and sign in to your Xbox account. Obviously, make sure you're signed in to the Xbox as well. By default, all captures taken with the share button (located to the left of the Xbox controller's home button) are uploaded to the "Xbox Network", a fancy name for a cloud server accessible from the Xbox app. To do this, open the app and navigate to the bottom row tab marked with three vertical lines (with the rightmost line pressed against the other two).
Your captures live here. To test it, take an in-game screenshot, wait about 30 seconds, then open the app to see if it's there. If that doesn't work, you may need to enable automatic downloads. It should be on by default, but hey, weird things happen sometimes. To do this, follow these simple steps:
-
Press the Xbox home button on the controller
-
Go to “Profile and system”
-
Go to settings »
-
Go to “Preferences”
-
Go to “Capture and Share”
-
Enable "Download automatically"
If this always isn't working for some reason, you can manually upload any screenshot to the Xbox network by pressing the button to the left of the home button, selecting the individual screenshot or video you want, then by selecting “Download”. Give it some time and it should appear in the Xbox app.
If you love sharing your gaming moments with your friends, using auto capture uploads on either console will make your life easier.
