game bar privacy

The game bar privacy tag covers discussions about privacy concerns related to Microsoft's Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11, particularly the Gaming Copilot feature. Users have reported that Gaming Copilot captures screenshots and OCR'd text from games, potentially sending sensitive data off the machine, including material under NDA. Microsoft has responded to these privacy issues, but the responses have been considered insufficient by some users. Topics include data collection, AI assistant behavior, and user control over privacy settings within the Game Bar. This tag is relevant for Windows 11 users concerned about how their gaming activity data is handled.
