Summary
Before learning about the highly effective screen recorder, we first introduce the recording function in Windows. How to record your computer screen with this function? Here is the introduction.
First, open the target interface and press the hot key [Win + G]. The screen will appear the prompt [Do you want to open Game Bar?]. Then, check the box [Yes, this is a game].
Then, get the recording tool started. Select to screenshot and set to record sounds from microphone. After that, click the record button to start your recording session.
A small timer will appear at the top-right corner of the screen to indicate that you’re recording and display the elapsed time. Press [Win + G] to call the tool back.
When the record is finished, click [xbox] and then edit the video in [Game DVR].
Limit: Although this function is very convenient, its functions are simple. You cannot record a section of the screen, set the auto recording schedule or record dual screens. Besides, you cannot improve and modify the recorded files with this function. If you want to record and edit videos within the same software, we recommend Renee Video Editor Pro that fulfills your recording requirements and the other individual needs.
Renee Video Editor Pro is the software that contains screen recorder and video editor. It not only fulfills our needs in recording PC screen, playing videos and audios, but also edits videos. For example, you can set watermark for recording and add transitions, filters and subtitles to improve the videos.
