Screen recording shortcut

Previously, recording a screen on Windows required expensive equipment or third-party software, but Windows 10 and Windows 11 have the functionality built right, allowing anyone to record their screen with just a few clicks of a mouse. You're going to be using the Xbox Game Bar tool, but don't worry if you're not a gamer. While this tool can seem a little finicky, it’s actually a pretty straightforward process, as we’ll explain below. (Image credit: Microsoft) Open whatever app or program you want to record on your screen. It’s worth noting that the recording tool won’t work on everything. Programs such as File Manager or your device’s desktop won’t allow recording, but most other apps will, including most video games as well. For the sake of this tutorial, we’re recording a video of Google Chrome. 2. Press Windows + G to open Xbox Game Bar (Image credit: Microsoft) Press the Record button in the top left of the Xbox Game Bar — it’s the one that looks like a white circle. Alternatively use the keyboard shortcut Windows + Alt + R. This will start the recording process. It's worth noting that sound is also recorded as well, so don’t leave a video or music playing in the background unless required. 4. Uncheck the mic button(optional) (Image credit: Microsoft) If your device has a built-in microphone or is connected to one, you can also capture mic audio. This is useful for adding voice-over to your recording, perfect for creating tutorials or a video lecture. To record your m...

If you're in a situation where you need to take a video and share it with people quickly, the Shortcuts app on your iPhone offers solutions for doing just that. You can build (or download, more on that in a bit) a shortcut that can take a video with the back camera, then automatically save that video to iCloud or Dropbox, then, again automatically, send the link to a pre-specified contact or group of contacts. While I would typically go through step by step to teach you how to build these shortcuts for yourself, they're kind of involved. What I am going to do is take you through the shortcut and tell you how to set it up for your particular needs. But first, you need to download it and add it to your shortcuts library. If you've already downloaded shortcuts from outside of the app, and thus have activated the "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts" setting, then you can skip to the setup phase. If you're a first-time Shortcuts app user, however, there are some steps you need to take to be able to add shortcuts created by other people.

You can start a recording from most applications and windows, but you can't kick off a capture from the Windows desktop, File Explorer, or certain Windows apps such as Weather. Press Win + G to open the Game Bar. Several Game Bar widgets pop up with options for capturing screenshots, controlling your video and audio, and viewing your Xbox social account. The pane also displays the name of your current app, file, or window as the source for the video capture.

Depending on your hardware, you may use the Windows Logo Key + PrtScn button as a shortcut for print screen. If your device does not have the PrtScn button, you may use Fn + Windows logo key + Space Bar to take a screenshot, which can then be printed. To locate your screenshots, open File Explorer from the taskbar. On the side navigation pane, select the Pictures folder, and select Screenshots.
