Whether you are a YouTuber, an educator or a gamer, you might already be familiar with screen recording which is very handy for creating videos. Maybe you want to share a handy tutorial with your followers or take the bragging rights about how well you've crushed your opponents in Battle Royale games, the ability to record screen in Windows 10 is a must. Unfortunately, unlike macOS (thanks to QuickTime Player), Microsoft Windows does not yet have a full-fledged screen recorder. But don't worry, there are some solutions that make it easier to record screen in Windows 10. And that's exactly what I'm going to talk about in this tutorial.

To ensure that you can do the task more efficiently, I will demonstrate both the built-in solutions and the third-party Windows 10 screen recorder software that gets the job done. If you want a little more control over your video, third-party apps are the way to go. But if you just want a decent basic screen recording, then the built-in hacks can live up to the mark. With that being said, let's find out how you can capture the screen of your Windows 10 device!

Although the Xbox's built-in screen recorder is primarily designed to let you capture the screen of your games, it can be tricked into recording the screen of any app except the desktop and some programs like File Explorer. Even better, it also gives you the ability to adjust the output of your video. So, before you start, fine-tune the Game DVR settings so that your recording is in line with your needs.
