Yeah sharing fun clips or a screenshot from a game you're playing seems as valid as posting any other video or picture you've taken to social media.

The headache of moving it from console -> phone/computer as well. Too many steps usually.

The switch does it really weirdly too.

You have to disconnect from wifi so it can create it's own hotspot, you connect your phone to that connection, then it hosts a little web server where you can open it up and download your shit.

I mean I guess it's better than xbox or playstations method which I honestly have no figured out yet. Not that I've really tried.

Yeah, way better than… selecting the share button(?)

Switch and Xbox here: Xbox can do clips and screenshots, and upload to social media with one button.

It can also send all the clips and photos to an external storage device, which is what I do so it's easy to sync clips for making edits of them for videos and jokes.

Nintendo feels so bizarre in how they handle the screenshots. "Here's a dedicated screenshot button! Good luck sending this to anyone not on Facebook or Twitter!"

When there's third party apps and programs to make the job of Nintendo and it's fans easier, they fucked up.

I share off my Xbox with one tap of a button on my controller. It’s not very complicated lol

Upload to what though? I want it on my phone or my computer.

They go to cloud storage for 90 days. You can then save it locally from the Xbox website or app.
