Risk level
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

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.
Turn on Allow game captures
- 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.

Record a clip in another game
- 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.

Try the other capture option Xbox lists
- 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.
