lol didn’t know this existed 😂
After finding out that it doesn’t record audio it was basically useless
Windows + Alt + R
Snagit abd other apps similar have been the reason MS didn’t add things like this in the past.
Thanks for the info!! This is precious!!!
It’s so meta. How did you record the act of using the recording app?
How can you move the window logo to the left and remove the widget, I dont like in the middle
Does anyone know a way to record your screen, computer audio and the microphone at the same time on windows?
Nvidia Geforce records screen (Full Screen) with audio for anything you have playing on your desktop through Geforce experience — press keyboard shortcut Alt Z to bring up complete menu anytime you want to use it
Too little to late. Basically stick to obs
For anybody that’s interested in screen recording of any kind, and I do mean literally of any kind, I’d strongly recommend the completely free OBS Studio. Yes, you can screen record free via OS, XBox app, or your graphics card overlay … but all have deliberate annoying drawbacks, and OBS is not only far better than all of them, it also remains consistant in terms of usage, and it is comletely free. You can record in MKV with full compression control and remux to MP4 (if you need to), and add Web cam windows etc. And the sound functionality is complete and flawless too. It’s completely free and really worth investing your time in if your interested in screen recording of any kind. There’s a slight learning curve compared to the simplicity of the OS, Xbox, and graphics card options, but it is well worth learning as it is a so much more capable/complete option. Hope this helps someone, somehwere.
I like the direction of travel, but I think I’ll stick to PowerPoint for my recordings for now.
Is the video file an mp4, or something else?
Thank you so much, you just saved me some money! I was in the middle of recording a Photoshop speed painting with the X Box, which was surprisingly working well on my Windows 11 until today. Well, today I got this message that I could only use it for game recording. Before that, I used to record my Photoshop drawings with the free version of Clipchamp, but it looks like now you need to upgrade to be able to record your screen. This is going to save me a little money 🙂
2 things. It does support desktop and mic audio 100%. The only iusue I have is that while it does record at your full desktop resoultion (1440p in my case) it does not record at your full frame rate. (144hz/fps in my case) in only records 30fps
I recorded at my PC a TV show using Snipping Tool. The image quality was amazing, except for one problem that I also had when using XBox. When the object is moving, particularly, when it moves fast, the recorded video show some little jumps as if some frames were missing. That might not bother some viewers but it does bother me. When I check my recording technical details, I can see that it was recorded with 30 FPS, which I believe cannot be the cause of these “jumps” in the image. I tried to contact Microsoft, but that’s useless, it’s a look that takes you nowhere.
Cool finally a useful feature to make me happy about getting Windows 11
Why don’t you just search in Windows search for the screen recorder app and use that? It will record sound and what’s on your screen. I use it to record classes on Zoom that they won’t let you record. You also have a feature to add a webcam, take a screenshot, or record part of the screen. I’ve never used the Snipping Tool, but I opened it up and it didn’t seem as user-friendly as the screen recording app.
