Finally, Microsoft brings a built-in screen recording tool on Windows 11. For the longest time, users had to rely on Xbox Game Bar and other third-party apps to record the screen on Windows 11. But with the new Snipping Tool update, you will now be able to record screen on Windows 11 effortlessly. The new update has been released to Dev channel users, but you can also install the new tool on stable builds via the MSIXBundle package linked below. So without further ado, let's move on and learn how to get screen recording in Snipping Tool on Windows 11.

In this tutorial, we have detailed instructions to install the new Snipping tool on Windows 11. If you no longer need the new tool, you can follow our guide and go back to the older version.

Before you install the new Snipping tool, let me make it clear that it is currently buggy. This is the first public release, intended only for Dev users in the Insider channel, so it is on the expected lines. The new Snipping tool throws errors from time to time and sometimes refuses to start recording. Still, to give you some information about the screen recording capabilities, it currently supports exporting in MP4 format (H.264), but is only limited to 30FPS.

Other than that, there are no toggles to record the microphone, device audio, system audio, or add a webcam view. Basically, it's a barebones app right now and should get better with future releases. As and when new package updates are available we will definitely let you know. So, if you want to experience the screen recording feature of Snipping Tool, follow the steps below.
