How to Screen Record on Windows 11

 

Step 3. Once you are happy with the settings, press the ‘Windows Key + ALT +R‘ combination to start the recording session.

You can use the same combination to stop the recording as well.

Once the recording is completed, you will see a thumbnail appear, which you can click to view the recording. However, if you miss the thumbnail you can even click on the ‘Show all captures’ button present on the toolbar to open the Gallery view of the Game Bar app.

You can then edit the recording, rename it and add effects by using the built-in customization options or by using some editing software. If you feel that the recording has not turned out the way you wanted, you can even delete the same and repeat the procedure, if that is what you want to do.

What if I want to use third-party software?

Now, if you are someone who likes to experiment with third-party applications, one of the better alternatives out there, is Free Cam.

One of the things that we like about Free cam is that is it totally ad-free, and comes in two flavors – Free and Paid. The paid version will cost you close to $227/year, which is quite steep, seeing that the developer is not exactly well-known worldwide. We went for the free version instead and were surprised to see that it offers all the key functionalities and also does not apply any watermarks. This means you can easily record the screen using Free cam and use it in your projects or video content.
