How to Record Screen on Your Windows?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million words. Screen recording in Windows is a great method, whether you’re showing someone how to perform a task in an important application or you want to show off your gaming sessions.

Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 have screen recording capabilities built into them as part of the Xbox Game Bar tool, but it has some limitations, including that it can only screen record one application at a time and not the entire desktop. If you’re using Windows 11 build 22621.1344 or later, the Snipping Tool now has a screen recording feature and lets you select a specific area of your desktop, but it’s not a perfect solution either (it doesn’t capture audio, for example). If you want more options, you might also like to use a more robust third-party app for screen recording as OBS.

In this article, we will show you how to use third-party tools to record screen in Windows 10 or Windows 11.
