How to Screen Record on Windows 10
Windows 10 has made your work easier when you want to capture your screen, thanks to the built-in recording feature known as the Xbox Game bar. The game bar is used to record games on your PC or the ones you stream. The feature can also record video from your screen using any Windows application, web browser, or any other program. The applications you record are saved as an MP4 video file. You can use the feature to record videos on your laptop to capture gameplay or create a tutorial. To make things easier, we show you the steps on how to record your screen on Windows.
