How do I screen record in Windows 11? (August 7)

The Windows screen can occasionally need to be recorded. You might also wish to capture specific screen activity in Windows when making a presentation, a how-to video, or content for YouTube. There are numerous third-party solutions available for both free and paid use that can do that task. But, you can use a feature that is already included in Windows rather than downloading and installing an extra program. The process is really unique in the latest update.

How to Screen Record in Windows 11 – A complete guide

The only built-in method to capture your screen in Windows 11 is the Xbox Game Bar, which comes with it by default. Use the keyboard shortcut Windows+G or the start menu search to launch the Xbox Game Bar. You may quickly record your screen with the Xbox Game Bar, activate the microphone to capture the audio, and then save the clip to your PC.

After that, under the Game Bar interface, you may view, organize, and play any particular movie. Since the video is recorded as an MP4 file, any video editor can be used to edit or enhance it.

The Xbox Game Bar will be visible at the top of your screen. When you’re ready to start recording, simply click the “Record” button. You have the option to choose whether you want to record your screen in the Capture window. However, before you do so, make sure to enable or disable your microphone. Ensure that the Microphone icon is not crossed out or the opposite if you want to speak while recording your screen.

The “Record” button, which is the one with a solid white circle, should be clicked when you are ready to start recording. It will start to record your screen. Click the “Stop” button, which is a square of solid white, when you’re done. Click “Show All Captures” in the Capture window’s bottom-right corner to locate your recording. Nothing else needs to be said.

Xbox Game Bar may be managed using a number of keyboard shortcuts. With Windows 11, the Settings screen allows you to examine and even modify the shortcuts. To view and edit the shortcuts in Windows 11, you must first access the Game Bar interface. You’ll want to bear in mind the following shortcuts:

• Windows key+G: Launch the Xbox Game Bar.
• Windows key+Alt+R: Stop or start recording.
• Alt+G+Windows key: Capture the recent 30 seconds of screen activity.
• Windows key+Alt+B: Enable or disable HDR,
• Windows key+Alt+PrtScn: Capture a still picture of what’s on your screen.
