Risk level

Usually safe to check without specialist tools.

Urgency

Low

Quick answer

Error 0x82323018, with the notice Sorry We Couldn't Record That, shows when you use capture on your Xbox console. Turn on Allow game captures under Capture & share; if the game blocks recording by default, you won't be able to record clips of that title.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Do not use capture cards or software to record games that block recording if their terms forbid it; respect other players' privacy when sharing clips.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Turn on Allow game captures
  • Record a clip in another game
  • Try the other capture option Xbox lists

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Xbox Support

    What they doIf it only fails in one title, the publisher can confirm whether that game has recording disabled or limited in certain scenes.

    They must show youwhether the game allows captures and in which parts.

    In writinganswer about the game's capture policy and the date.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Turn on Allow game captures

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, with the controller and your profile signed in.
    How:
    press the Xbox button, go to Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share > Allow game captures and pick Captures by me or games, or Captures by me.
    Result that matters:
    the console being allowed to record your clips.
    If it was off:
    turn it on and record again.
    If it was already on:
    check whether the game blocks recording.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of the setting screen with the option chosen.

    Evidence: Error 0x82323018 occurs when you try to use capturing on your Xbox console

  2. Record a clip in another game

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    open a different game and try to capture a clip with the Share button or from the guide, to see whether the notice appears everywhere or only in that title.
    Result that matters:
    knowing whether the block comes from that specific game.
    If it records fine in another game:
    that title disables recording and can't be captured.
    If it fails in every game with the setting on:
    review the profile's permissions.
    Evidence to keep:
    names of the games tried and the result.

    Evidence: Error 0x82323018 occurs when you try to use capturing on your Xbox console

  3. Try the other capture option Xbox lists

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, using the controller at the console.
    How:
    Xbox lists two valid options under Capture & share > Allow game captures: Captures by me or games, and Captures by me. Note which one is set, try recording and, if the notice remains, switch to the other one and try again.
    Result that matters:
    ruling out that the notice depends on the option chosen.
    If recording works with one of the two options:
    keep that one.
    If it shows the same in every game with either option:
    contact Xbox Support.
    Evidence to keep:
    option you had and option you chose.

What it means

Xbox says code 0x82323018 and the message Sorry We Couldn't Record That can appear when you use the console's capture feature. The official fix is to make sure game captures are enabled: under Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share > Allow game captures, choose Captures by me or games, or just Captures by me. Xbox also notes that some games disable gameplay recording by default, and clips of those titles cannot be captured. It is not a hardware fault.
