Select the circle on the top-left corner of your screen to start recording.You can also press the Xbox button on a connected Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller.

Press Win+G on your keyboard to launch the Xbox Game Bar.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be a gamer to use the tool! You can use Game Bar to document content from many different apps besides games. Microsoft baked Xbox Game Bar into Windows 10 and Windows 11 to help you capture screenshots and videos while playing games. With just a few clicks, you’ll be recording the content of your apps pretty soon. The better news is that it’s pretty user-friendly despite some limitations. The good news is that your copy of the Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system (OS) already has an app that allows you to screen record. If only it were as simple as hitting PrtSc to take screenshots. Downloading a new program, learning how to use it, and accessing the files is not everyone’s cup of tea.

The very idea of screen recording on Windows can feel intimidating.
