- Use the ‘Print Screen’ button (PrtSc). You'll find it on the upper-right side of most keyboards (or next to the Space Bar on some). It will copy an image of your entire screen to the clipboard. You can then hit ‘Ctrl + V’ to paste it into a document.
Screen recording on Windows
Xbox Game Bar is built into Windows 11 and Windows 10 and lets you make a screen recording one application at a time.
- Press together the ‘Windows Key’ + ‘Alt’ + ‘R’ at the same time.
- A recording widget will appear in the corner of your screen to start recording.
- Turn on or off your microphone for your audio preferences.
- Stop recording your screen by holding together ‘Windows Key’ + ‘Alt’ + ‘R’ at the same time or press the ‘Stop’ button in the recording widget.
- You will usually find the recording in your Videos/Captures folder from File Explorer.
Note: Xbox Game Bar won’t be able to record your Windows desktop or File Explorer. You may need to download a third-party application to your desktop to do this.
