Download Free Screen Recorder For Pc Windows 7 32 Bit

I sometimes need to record screen activity in Windows for a tutorial or demonstration or online class. Whether you're creating a presentation, devising a how-to video, or cooking up something for YouTube, you might want to record your screen activity in Windows as well.

Available in Windows 10 and 11, the Xbox Game Bar video-capture tool is designed to record gameplay on your PC. But it's a versatile tool that will capture just about any other type of screen activity.

With Xbox Game Bar, you can easily record your screen, turn on the microphone to grab your voice or other audio, and then save the recording to your PC. You can then manage all the recorded clips within the Game Bar interface and play any video. The video itself is saved as an MP4 file, so you can modify or spruce it up using any video editor. I'll show you this process in detail below.

But there's another option, at least if you use Windows 11. Once a simple screen-capture utility, the Snipping Tool can record any screen activity and save the recording as an MP4 video file. Let's check out both options.

Several keyboard shortcuts are available to control Xbox Game Bar. In Windows 10, you can view and even change the shortcuts in the Settings screen. For this, go to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar.

Now, let's display the Game Bar and activate it to record your screen activity. Set up the activity you wish to record. When ready, press Windows key+G. The top toolbar and the Capture pane for Game Bar should appear.

First, press Windows key+Alt+R. The small recording panel appears on the screen. Click the stop button when finished and then open Game Bar. Your new recording now appears in the Gallery window for you to play. If you need to capture the last 30 seconds of screen activity, press Windows key+ Alt+G.

Press Windows key+G. On the top toolbar, click the Settings icon. Here, you can view and change any of the shortcut keys, modify the visual theme of the Game Bar interface and the transparency of the menus and panes, and control how and when audio is recording as you capture your screen activity.

To record your screen in Windows 11 with the Snipping Tool, you'll need a certain build for the OS. To check, go to Settings > System > About. In the Windows specifications section, the build should be 22621.1344 or higher.

After the recording starts, perform the screen activity you want to capture. Click the Pause button on the toolbar to take a break and then click the Record button to restart. When done, click the Stop button.

With the latest update to the Snipping Tool, you can now configure your audio settings before you start your screen recording. To do this in the Snipping Tool, click the ellipsis icon in the upper right and select Settings. Scroll down the screen to the section for Screen recording.

To automatically start recording audio through your microphone, turn on the switch for Include microphone input by default when a screen recording starts. To automatically start recording your PC's system audio, turn on the switch for Include system audio by default when a screen recording starts.

Trying to use the Windows game bar to record (see -to-video-screen-capture-windows-10), I find that it only records the most recent windows clicked on before hitting the game bar hotkey (perhaps I am using the feature incorrectly).

My actual use case is that I have dual monitors: one large, where I want to record several windows to demonstrate something, and a laptop screen, where I have a script I need to read from (so need to capture audio as well). I then edit these videos in the Photos video editor. I want to record the entire screen of the larger monitor. How can I do this in Windows 10?

Record your screen, create webcam videos, and add effects directly in Microsoft 365 with your work or school account! The Stream screen recorder is great for explainer videos, product demos, or quick webcam videos without leaving M365. You can add inking, stickers, images, music, text, replace your background, and record multiple clips.

Use the Xbox Game Bar with your keyboard and a screen reader to record a video clip of your favorite game or app, for example, if you find a usability issue with it and want to show the problem to the developer. We have tested it with Narrator and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million. Whether you're showing someone how to perform a task in an important application or you want to show off your gaming process, screen recording in Windows is a great way to do it.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 both have screen recording capability built-in as part of the Xbox Game Bar tool, but it has some limitations, including the fact that it can only screen record one app at a time and not the whole desktop. If you have Windows 11 build 22621.1344 or later, the Snipping Tool now has screen recording and allows you to choose a specific region of the desktop, but it's not a perfect solution either (it doesn't capture audio, for example). You may also prefer to use a more robust, third-party app as OBS for screen recording if you want more options.

Below, we'll show you how to record your screen in Windows 10 or Windows 11 using the Xbox Game Bar, the Snipping Tool (latest Windows 11 builds) and OBS. If all you need is a still image, see our article on how to take a screenshot in Windows 10 or 11.

Built into both Windows 11 and Windows 10, the Xbox Game Bar has a number of features, including CPU and GPU monitoring. However, its most useful feature is its ability to screen record in Windows, outputting to MP4 format.

XBox Game Bar works as well in other applications such as Chrome as it does in Games, but it only works within a single application at a time and cannot capture the Windows desktop or File Explorer. So, if you want to show someone how to do a task involving multiple programs -- for example, programming a web page in a code editor and then viewing it in a browser -- you would need to grab multiple videos. And if you want to show them how to do anything in the Windows 11 or 10 UI, such as using the Start menu, you can't. For those activities, you should use another tool such as OBS, which we'll show you how to screen record with later in this article.

2. Hit the Windows Key + Alt + R to start screen recording. A small recording widget showing how long you've been recording appears somewhere on the screen, most likely in a corner. You can also get here by launching the Xbox Gamebar (Windows Key + G) and then finding the capture widget, but the keyboard shortcut is much simpler.

4. Hit the Windows Key + Alt + R again to stop screen recording. You can also hit the stop button on the widget You will get an alert that says "Game clip recorded. If you click on it, you will go into the Gallery section of the Gamebar app and be able to preview the video you captured. You can also find the MP4 file you recorded under your Videos/Captures folder.

If you have Windows 11 (build 22621.1344) or later, the Snipping Tool has a screen recording option that lets you draw a box around just that portion of the desktop you want to capture. This could be a particular window or, if you're trying to make a tutorial about using the Start Menu, it could be just the area that that menu takes up. However, if your app's window might move around or take up the full screen, you can just draw a box around the entire desktop.

The biggest drawback to using the Xbox Gamebar to screen record Windows is that it can only work with one app at a time and will not show the desktop or File Explorer. Snipping Tool can capture more but it doesn't support audio and it is rather feature-limited. To capture your entire desktop and all the windows on it with a full suite of options, you need a third-party app and, while there are many, we like OBS Studio for this purpose.

OBS Studio is very popular in the game streaming community because it's free and great at broadcasting games out to Twitch and other sites. However, you can also use OBS to record the entire screen in Windows 10 or Windows 11 and save it as an MP4 file, without ever streaming what you do.

You will also be asked for the base resolution (aka canvas resolution) and frame rate. We recommend choosing the resolution of the screen you plan to capture (it may default to 1080p). If you use a higher resolution screen to capture from than your canvas size, you will not be capturing the full screen.

5. Choose a display and click Ok. If you have more than one monitor, this would allow you to have OBS on one screen while recording the activity on another. If you have only one monitor, there's only one choice.

If the display exceeds the bounds of your OBS canvas -- for example, you are capturing a 4K display but you have a 1920 x 1080 base resolution -- your capture will be cut off. Fix the problem, by going to File->Settings->Video and changing the base resolution there. You can also set the output resolution here. If the base resolution is higher than the output (a 1080p output of a 4K screen), OBS will scale the output down but still keep everything in the frame.

7. Click the Start Recording button in the lower right corner of the screen. Remember that if you didn't mute the microphone or desktop audio, it will record whatever noise you or the computer makes.

By default, your screen recording videos will be located in the Windows 11 (or 10) Videos folder. They are stored, by default, in the .mkv file format. However, you can change the output to MP4 or MOV files by going to the Settings->Output menu in OBS. ff782bc1db
