How to record a Video with the Game Bar in Windows 10
Description: This article will show how to record the screen using the built in Game Bar in Windows 10. This new feature was implemented with the launch of Windows 10.
- While in an application, press the Windows key on the keyboard and the letter G at the same time. This will display the prompt Do you want to open Game Bar? Check the box for Yes, this is a game.
- The game bar will open with five options. The record icon, represented by a red circle, will start the recording process.
- Once the recording begins, there will be a stop icon to end recording, along with a timer for the video.
- After a few seconds, the bar will minimize to the top right corner of the screen. To end the video when the bar minimizes, click on the arrow at the top right.
- Once finished, a notification will pop up on the side of the screen and go into the Action Center showing the video has been recorded.
- The videos saved by the Game Bar can be found in the directory: %UserProfile%\Videos\Captures where %UserProfile% is your login name.
