To screen record on a laptop, built-in tools like the Windows Snipping Tool or Xbox Game Bar are commonly used for Windows laptops. For Windows 11:
- Press the Windows key + Shift + R to open the Snipping Tool's screen recording feature.
- Select the area of the screen you want to record or choose the entire screen.
- You can toggle microphone and system audio on or off.
- Click the Start button to begin recording; you can pause and resume as needed.
- Click Stop when finished, and save your recording as an MP4 file.
Alternatively, the Xbox Game Bar can be opened with Windows + G, and you can start a screen recording from its interface if you're recording a full screen or app window. For more detailed control and editing, Microsoft Clipchamp is a free video editor allowing screen and camera recordings with customizable options. This method does not require additional software installation and works well for tutorials, gaming, or any screen capture need on Windows laptops.
