As part of the insider ring of testing Xbox dashboard updates, it has been reported that the option to share video captures directly to Twitter has been removed from the console.

As noticed by WindowsCentral, before this update you could take a quick video via the share button on your controller, and upload it directly to Twitter to share with your audience. But it seems this opinion has been replaced with the option to share to “mobile”.
The idea is that you can send a video clip to your phone then share it from there. This adds extra steps to an otherwise simple thing, and it’s very strange since this feature is not only available on PlayStation consoles and the Nintendo Switch, but it’s been available on Xbox for years.
At first it might have been seen as a potential mistake, or a change that was for testing, but since then the “share to” menu has even got social media icons inside the “mobile” part of the menu. It has icons for Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and a “plus” icon, presumably for more options.
