Can you believe I just now found out that Windows 10 features a built-in screen recording app called the Xbox Game Bar? You may use it to record video of your screen in any Windows app on your laptop, whether you want to document a game or make a tutorial for someone on how to use Microsoft Office. To save you time, we’ve defined the basic procedures for screen recording in Windows 10.
The Windows 10 default installation includes the Xbox program, which contains the screen recording function. The Xbox Game Bar has recently undergone significant modifications to expand its functionality, allowing users to do things like snap screenshots and create memes.
What Steps Should You Take To Record Your Windows 10 Desktop?
1. Start by launching the recording program. While the screen recorder does operate in standard desktop apps, it is unable to record from specific programs like File Manager or the complete desktop (and those from the Windows Store).
2. You can access the Game Bar by pressing the Windows key plus the letter G at the same time.
3. Simply open the Game Bar by selecting the “Yes, this is a game” checkbox. Whether you’re documenting a game or some other app, this is the standard method.
4. To begin recording a video, press the Windows key plus the Alt key plus the R key.
5. Click the red recording bar in the upper right corner of the window to halt the recording. (If the Game Bar suddenly disappears, pressing Win + G again will restore it.)
So long! Your captured video files (in MP4 format) can be found in a subfolder called Captures under the Videos folder. You can also access them on the Xbox App by going to the Game DVR section, where you can cut down a recording before uploading it to Xbox Live (if it’s a game).
