If you have been following this website, you might have noted that, when we talked of the Windows 10 Xbox app, we had mentioned that it included a screen recording tool. This Screen Recorder in Windows 10 allows a user to record any application without having to download any third-party screen recording freeware to video capture your on-screen activities on Windows 10.

To use this screen recording tool, you will have to open the Xbox app and press Win+G. The action upon confirmation launches the Game bar and displays a brand new record option that offers the ability to record video.
It’s particularly noteworthy to mention here that if you are launching the Game bar for the first time, a message will flash on your computer screen reading, “Do you want to open Game bar?”—simply click ‘Yes, this is a game’. Thereafter, it’s pretty straightforward to use.

To begin recording video inside the app, just hit the red button.

To adjust Settings, hit the settings icon on the recording toolbar and configure things like the length of recording automatically. Here, you can also enable background recording that simply allows you to record in the background. If required, you can set the max length for recording and disable the notification balloons.

Finally, when you click the Stop button, the video file is built. All the videos recorded are stored in MP4 format inside the Game DVR section of the Xbox app.
Alternatively, a user can navigate to the location manually under User folder > Videos > Captures. If you ever forget this location, just use the ‘Open folder’ button from inside the Xbox app. Accessing the captures is easy using the Xbox app in the Game DVR section.

For now, the video recording feature is only available inside the apps.
