There are many reasons to shoot video from Windows and other operating systems. For example, you might want to record a video for YouTube, or you might want to make a software tutorial video, or you might want to create a complete presentation for your business.

This tool is available in the pre-installed Xbox application.

You can also record video from the browser window without the need to download and install heavy programs. It depends on what you plan to record, as well as the hardware and duration of the video.

This feature is almost hidden, but Windows 10 still has a default movie recorder designed to capture game scenes. To find it, first open the default Xbox app, then press the Windows and G keys at the same time. Then select the Yes option.

Select Start Recording to start the recording process or use the Windows + Alt + R shortcut keys and finally use the same shortcut to end the recording. The recorded videos are visible in the Windows Videos folder in MP4 format.

To make changes to the settings of this feature, first log in to your Xbox account and go to the Game DVT section. You may not be able to change the video storage folder here, but you can control the quality of the recording, the microphone on and off, and the ultimate video recording time.

Unfortunately, not all devices running Windows 10 can take advantage of this feature, and to use this tool, your device must be equipped with a video card that supports one of the following encoders.

Nvidia NVENC

AMD VCE

If your device does not have these features, you can use Windows environment recording software.

After that, go back to the settings menu and select Developer Options and then Feature Flags. Here you must enable the ‘settings_screenrecord_long_press’ option. Then, by pressing the power button, a series of options will be displayed for you, in the meantime, by holding the screenshot option, the video recording mode will be activated after a few seconds, and you can shoot videos from the Android user interface.

To end the recording, select the timer in the upper left corner, then touch Stop. Of course, keep in mind that notifications that appear on the screen during recording are also displayed in the recorded video.
