How to Screen Record on Windows 11 laptop

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to screen record your laptop or desktop computer using Windows 11. We look at four options for screen recording. The first is the XBOX Game Bar, which comes pre-installed with Windows 11 and allows you to record most apps. There are a few downsides, such as not being able to record your desktop or file explorer. Next, we look at Zoom, which allows you to record your desktop, a window, your iPhone or iPad, and even in front of a virtual PowerPoint presentation. We continue to PowerPoint, which includes a basic screen recorder and trim tool. Lastly, we look at the powerhouse of screen recording, OBS Studio. With OBS, you have nearly unlimited customizability to get the recording that you want.

You do a great job. Even tho you work for MS you still show other options, which shows you're not just out for yourself but you actually are trying to help everyone. I really appreciate your vids and how easy you make everything to understand but without dumbing it down too much. Thank you

[@CreateActionLtd]

I thought he quit working for Microsoft a long long long time ago?

[@bhaniwalker4244]

Thank you, Kevin. I have two laptops, one is windows 10 and the other is windows 11. My laptop is windows 11 and I love all the features in Windows 11, what's missing is a screen recording app but not any more thanks to this video.

[@masterduelrecap1588]

Thx so much bro. I've seen so many videos where it takes them like 5 mins to just get through with the intro. Thx for getting right to the point.

[@trisolvia.98]

Your videos are so helpful and informative. The whole process of recording and editing stresses me out but you make it look easy. Thank you for that 🙏🏼

[@aymen8716]

This guy have no idea how much his video helped me and saved my life when I was struggling to record myself explaining my c++ project assignment . Thank you so much ❤❤

[@tundramonkey]

I'm still running Windows 10, but on a lark, I pushed "Win-G" and the XBOX gaming bars came up. Good to know! Not a PC gamer or an OS power user by any stretch but it will be a nice tool I'll add to my Fisher Price toolbelt. Looking forward to fiddling around and learning it, thanks Kevin!

[@DP-cv8gr]

I love your simple and clear directions, Kevin. Good for us "non tech savvy" people. 😉
Thank you! Keep posting, please!

[@kp9937]

simple, clear, direct to the point

[@SavageGothamChess]

Why does the audio make me crave the tastiest chocolate ever! The audio is so good. OBS is for sure the best screen recorder as it is free but at the same time has excellent features. Zoom is pretty decent as well and I guess the annotation tool makes it better. Amazing walkthrough!

[@KevinStratvert]

Thanks as always Hovindu!

[@galactus4mac]
