Recording the screen's Xbox Game Bar

Opening the tool:

Open an app screen, then press the Win and the G keys at the same time to open the screen recording tool of the Xbox Game Bar.

 

• The screen recording tool in the Xbox Game Bar is mainly used to record games and cannot be used to record a blank desktop screen. When you are on the desktop, your computer will only respond when you open an app (such as Microsoft Edge) and press Win + G while still on that screen.
• If the screen does not respond after you press the Win and G keys at the same time on the app screen, click the Windows icon and the Settings icon, then go to Games > Xbox Game Bar and enable Enable Xbox Game Bar for things like recording game clips, chatting with friends, and receiving game invites. (Some games require Xbox Game Bar for receiving game invites.). If the issue persists, download and install the Xbox Game Bar app from Microsoft Store and try again.

  

Using the screen recording tool:

1. Click the Camera icon to capture the screen. Click the screen recording icon to start recording the video.

   

2. The recording time will be shown in the top-right corner on the screen during the recording. Click the Stop icon to stop recording the video.

   

3. After the recording stops, you will be prompted with a message notifying you that the video has been saved.

   

4. The recorded video will be saved in the following path by default: C:\Users\Username\Videos\Captures.
