Video screen recording anywhere in windows 10
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2015 9:41 am
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.
