Hello, folks! Here is our new post on how to use the hidden screen recorder tool in Windows 10. Most of us are newbies to Windows 10 and are not aware of the hidden features that can be used in our daily core activities. Certainly, these features can replace the existing third-party applications on our PC. Well, until now we have been dependent on third-party software to record the desktop screen, but you no longer need to install this software.
Yes, of course, you no longer need them. Because you can use the hidden screen recorder tool which most of us are not aware of in Windows 10. Thanks to Microsoft for bringing up the changes in the new Xbox app for Windows 10. The game bar is one of the new features in the Xbox app which helps you to record your gameplay. But we always try to make the most benefit from these features. Without much delay let’s get into the art of modern learning.
Hidden Screen Recorder Tool in Windows 10
The Game bar feature as discussed above not only helps you to record your gameplay but also captures the screen. This thing has excited me even more like other newbies. Well, let’s move ahead and see how can we launch this Game bar feature.
Launching the Game bar
Its quite easy to launch the Game bar in your PC running on Windows 10. Just press and hold the “Windows + G” keyboard keys for more than 5 seconds. Now the Game bar will pop up on your screen. Since you are launching it for the first time, you will find a message asking, “Do you want to open the Game bar?” Simply select the “Yes, this is a game.” check box.
Start Recording
Once the Game bar is launched, you can start recording your screen by pressing the keyboard shortcut key  “Windows + Alt+ R” or clicking on the red dot appearing in the popup window. To take a screenshot of your desktop, click on the camera button in the window or press the keyboard shortcut key “Windows + Alt +PrntScr“.
Game bar Settings
If you wish to change the settings in the Game bar feature, then click on the gear icon in the windows. This launches a small popup window on your screen with various options like background recording, and clip timing and even you can change more settings by using “Go to Xbox app to see more settings”  at the bottom. You can view the recorded clippings in the “C:\Users\User***\Videos\Captures” location.
As of now, you can only record inside the app. Game bar certainly helps you to get your basic needs but if you want more features, then you need to install the third-party apps on your PC. But it is a good step taken by Microsoft to include this new Game bar feature in Windows 10 to help the users.
