Frequently asked
How do I screen record on Windows?
On Windows you can screen record with the built-in tools, such as the Snipping Tool or the Xbox Game Bar (press Win+G), or use a browser-based recorder for more options.
The Game Bar is handy for quick clips, though it's geared towards games and full-screen apps and can be limited for tab-level or longer recordings. Recent Windows 11 builds also added recording to the Snipping Tool.
If you'd rather not depend on the OS tools, Sirvez is a free Chrome extension that runs on Windows (anywhere Chrome runs). It records a tab, your desktop, or your webcam, saves locally first, and has a built-in editor, with no watermark or time limit.
Quick reference
Use Xbox Game Bar (Win+G) or the Snipping Tool, or a free Chrome recorder like Sirvez.
