Video screen recording anywhere in windows 10

Post by zakblood »

The Xbox app in Windows 10 includes a feature called Game DVR, which is primarily intended for recording gameplay. However with a few simple actions, you can harness Game DVR to record any application (or the Windows desktop) with ease.

All you have to do is open the Xbox app and keep it open, then switch to the program you want to record. From here, press Win+G to open up the Game Bar, ticking “Yes, this is a game” to fool Windows 10 into supporting screen capture in the app.

After the game bar has opened, you can easily start screen recording by pressing the Start Recording button or by pressing Win+Alt+R. Recordings then appear in the Xbox app under the Game DVR tab.

There is one catch that doesn’t make Windows’ built-in screen recording suitable all the time: it only records in the current window, so you can’t use multiple apps or switch apps while recording. However if you’re just after basic, quick, and easy screen recording, Windows 10’s Game DVR does the trick.

Nice tip for the app, but FRAPS is way easier to use and set up for recording game video on a Windows PC http://www.fraps.com

Hello Guys,

There are many programs for this. We use XSplit in the office and it is one of the most common pieces of software used for Twitch streams. It does also have a free version.

I'm including the linkbelow:

Good suggestion for rookies. However, Joyoshare Screen Recorder for PC is a good alternative as well when it comes to record game.

For Windows, you can use the built-in Xbox DVR to record video with audio. For me, I am using removed link the best screen recorder I've ever used. You can capture any on-screen video with audio in switchable mode.
