How to Screen Record in Windows 10 or Windows 11 | Tom’s Hardware – OPTION 2: Windows 10 Game Recorder

 

The Xbox Game Bar for Windows 10 is here to help. The Xbox Game Bar is primarily a gaming overlay that allows you to access screen capture and recording tools as well as Xbox social tools without having to tab or close out of your games or applications. Additionally, there is a Pin button that lets you pin the Capture window to your desktop, so that when you close the Overlay, the Capture window stays visible and accessible.

Clicking the Start Recording button will immediately begin the screen recording, as you might expect. An additional window with recording controls will show up, featuring a time tracker, stop button, and another microphone control button.

The Record Last 30 Seconds button allows the Xbox Game Bar to save the previous 30 seconds of whatever you are doing in your currently focused application, which is great for when you do something super cool in a video game or encounter a bug in an application that you need to go back and snag.

While the Xbox Game Bar option is available to any Windows 10 device, it might not be the ideal application for you. It is unable to record the Windows File Explorer. Additionally, it can only handle recording in one application at a time, so if you have to capture multiple windows, you may need another option. The drivers and software behind your graphics card may include some capture options for you, either through the recording and streaming options in AMD Radeon Software, or Nvidia ShadowPlay through GeForce Experience.

Alternatively, many online streaming software tools can be an option for screen recording. Instead of streaming online, it can instead write to a file to capture screen recordings as well, though there may be a bit of a learning curve. Being able to capture our digital experience is becoming more and more important and the available tools to do so just keep getting better.
