Now perform whatever screen actions you want to capture. Several Game Bar widgets appear on the screen with controls for capturing screenshots, recording video and audio, and broadcasting your screen activity.Ĭlick the Start Recording button or use the Win + Alt + R keyboard shortcut to capture your screen activity. Navigate to the screen you wish to record and press Win + G to open Game Bar. You’ll be able to record activity in most applications and windows, except the Windows desktop, File Explorer, and certain Windows apps, such as Weather. And if you connect an Xbox Controller to your PC, you can trigger the Game Bar by pressing the Xbox button on the controller. Here, you can also change any of the keyboard shortcuts for opening the Game Bar, taking a screenshot, and recording a video.
