This is the most current version of the Windows 10 Screen Recorder. Press the Windows Key + the G key to bring up the Game Bar screen recorder. Alternatively, use Windows Search and type in "Game Bar". Both methods will open the Game Bar. You need Windows 10 to take advantage of this. If you're looking for a more powerful (and still free) screen recorder that not only lets you record your computer screen but also a webcam, check out my latest tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q32bc6qpqdacp6c Other videos: How to upload your video to KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKWpY3Sde7h_d9k How to edit your video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHbCgJaZi5uYa9k How to make a KZbin thumbnail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ3Jp3Voqr2pqpY

A better solution for general recording is start a zoom meeting and record it. Share your screen and then select what you want to record, whether it is your whole desktop or a specific app.

[@KevinK3vin0]

How do you record a zoom meeting?

[@Robert08010]

@@KevinK3vin0 The exact operation varies depending on what device you are on, but on the PC/Windows, just begin screen sharing, then scroll your mouse up to the center top edge of the screen. All the context menus appear. Click record. As soon as you end the meeting, A window will popup and convert the temp recording into 3 files. 1 is an MP4 of audio and video, another is an mp3 of sound only, and the hast is a text file of the chat. This conversion takes place AFTER your zoom meeting ends so don't be in a hurry to shut down your PC. It will take longer depending on how long the recording was.
