It's also good to use high-powered special tools, but it's not time to use paid software and professional tools, do you want to try to use standard features?

The game bar is a screen recording tool installed in the Windows 10 standard. The name is "game bar", but you can also record pictures outside of the game. Its function is one step worse than that of paid software. On the contrary, its advantage is that it is simple and easy for everyone to use. Because of the minimum performance, it is recommended for people who want to use it easily and those who do not need complex functions.

So, let's explain in detail how to record a video on the game bar.

First open the application screen you want to record, and then use "win + G" to call the game bar.

Press the screen capture button to open the recording menu.

Press the recording start button in the middle to start recording.

A timer is displayed when you start recording, and if you want to end the recording, press the stop button displayed on the timer to end the shooting. The recorded data is automatically saved in MP4 format. By default, it is in the capture folder under the C drive, so let's make sure it can be recorded without a problem.

These are the basic operations when recording a picture on the game bar.

In fact, I tried to shoot a simple video with the game bar.

The settings when you want to record

If you want to record sound, please set up the game bar and microphone. Click the sound icon in the menu displayed when the game bar starts, and the currently recognized microphone will be displayed. Please check that the one you are connected to has been properly recognized.

In addition, open the settings screen from the gear icon of the original menu, and set the sound from the "capture" tab.

Note that if none is selected in Audio to record, it will be recorded in a muted state. Select Game or all.

In addition, if all is selected, BGM and so on played by other applications within PC will also be recorded. Please choose the right person according to your needs.

Finally, the sound can be recorded by turning on the microphone in the menu at the beginning of recording.

What you can't do in a game bar.

The game bar is a very convenient tool for easy recording and recording. However, because it is a standard function, the game bar can not fully correspond to the situation. Let's identify the things and precautions that can't be done on the game bar.

Unable to record anything other than the application browser

The game bar does not allow recording of content other than PC applications and browsers. Note that Explorer and desktops are not available.

By default, the cursor is displayed as OFF

In the game bar, the cursor display is turned off in the initial settings. If off, the cursor will not appear in the recorded video. If it is more convenient to display cursors, such as a tool comment video, you must change the display of cursors from the settings.

The display settings of the cursor are performed by the PC side settings. Open the menu in the order "start", "set", "game", "capture". There is a check box "capture mouse cursor in record". Set it to ON.

Video cannot be edited on the game bar

There is no video editing function in the game bar. Photo editing and one-stop can not be carried out, please note. By the way, videos can be easily edited with Windows10 standard "photos". It only carries very basic functions such as trimming and text placement, but be sure to use it when you don't need careful editing.

Recording time can be up to 4 hours.

You can record on the game bar for up to 4 hours. When recording more than 4 hours in the game bar, you need to divide it into several tasks and then connect them.

In addition, in the initial setting, the video recording limit is set to 2 hours. Please change it from the settings screen (start "setting", "game", "capture") as needed.

Simple video recording does not require additional special software.

If it is a simple screen recording, the game bar is a tool that can be fully used. I heard that videos also have the impression that they need high-priced software. should we first use standard tools to achieve it? When you encounter difficulties in the picture and video, please be sure to refer to this content.
