How to record your screen without using any third-party software on Windows 10?
Although, as its name suggests, the initial objective of this software is recording video games, but there is nothing that prevents us from using the bar with any other application. If you want to learn how just follow these steps:
- Open the application you want to record and, when its window is active, display the Xbox Game Bar by pressing the Windows and “G” keys on your keyboard simultaneously.
- You will see the bar itself with several floating widgets on your screen, corresponding to various functions of the application. The one that interests us is the one entitled ‘Capture’; if it is not visible, we can activate it from the bar.
- From ‘Capture’ we can start recording by clicking on the corresponding button or by pressing the Windows key + Alt + R. If you also want to capture your voice, press the right key or the key combination: Windows + Alt + M.
- During the recording, a floating bar will be displayed showing the recording time and controls to stop the recording and to activate or deactivate the microphone. When you have finished recording, simply press the ‘Stop’ button.
- Immediately, an on-screen notification will appear offering to view the recorded clip. If we click on it, the corresponding folder corresponding will be opened, you can find your video inside the ‘Videos’ folder.
That’s it, this way you will be able to ecord your screen without using any third-party software on Windows 10
