With the toggle on, you can use the “Turn on mic by default when I record” button to control whether microphone recording is enabled – handy for live voiceovers. Of particular note is the toggle button to “Record audio when I record a game” – turning this off will disable all audio recording. Scroll down the page and you can control the audio and video settings of the recording. The Background Recording section isn’t relevant if you’re not a gamer, so we’ll ignore it for now. Here, you can change settings specific to the recording feature. Next, use the left navigation menu to switch to the Game DVR page. It defaults to Win+Alt+R, but you can change it to something else if you’d prefer. While still on this page, also check the “Start/stop recording” shortcut under “Keyboard shortcuts” – you’ll use this keyboard shortcut to begin and end your video.

On the first page, “Game bar,” check the “Record game clips, screenshots and broadcast using Game bar” toggle is turned on. Open the Settings app to the “Gaming” category. To get started, make sure Game DVR is enabled – on most new PCs it should be, although some older devices won’t support the feature. However, there’s nothing stopping you from repurposing Game DVR as a general desktop recorder.

It’s called Game DVR and is predominantly aimed at gamers creating gameplay videos.

Windows’ built-in screen recording software is part of the Xbox Game Bar.
