Have you often pondered how to display your desktop on whether you’re a Windows 11,10 user or recently updated towards the beta windows version 11? It is a question that almost all of us have asked.

Using a display capturing app is the most straightforward approach to record a screen. And TweakShot is one of the best applications that run on both windows.  

Microsoft’s operating system includes another, entitled Snip & Sketch. Certain functionalities, however, are missing. As a result, if you’re searching for just a screenshot and a screen recorder program that captures and records the entire screen without leaving a watermark, give TweakShot a try.

In this article, we will discuss three ways in which we can record the screen on Windows 10/11.

Ways to discuss record screen on Windows 10/111

Method 1: OBS Studio

OBS Studio is one of the best screen recorder programs for PC available. OBS Studio is different from Xbox Bar as well as QuickTime Player. It operates across programs and can be sideloaded on Windows 10 and 11 computers to capture full screen-free. Aside from that, the program allows you to record speech using a microphone whilst recording screen material.

  1. In the computer’s internet browser, navigate to https://obsproject.com/, then save the OBS Studio installation file for Windows on your computer.
  2. Typically, downloaded files would be saved under Downloads –> Go over to the folder, then double-click the OBS Studio installation file.
  3. This will cause the setup window to appear. When you launch OBS Studio for the first session, it will prompt if you would like to execute the Auto-Configuration Wizard. Select ‘Yes,’ and then follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. You may now record displays in Windows 10/11. Click the ‘Plus’ symbol –> ‘Display Capture’ –> ‘New’ –> Give your capture a name –> Click the ‘Ok’ button.
  5. The choices to start and stop recording would be in the lower-right corner of the OBS Studio screen.
  6. The full-screen movie would be stored on your computer’s hard drive. To view it, go over to the navigation bar and select ‘File’, then ‘Show Recordings’ from the drop-down option that appears.

You may even view the recording using the Xbox application’s Game DVR interface. It’s worth remembering that such a screen recorder for Windows 10/11 only supports a few apps. The Xbox Game Bar does not have the ability to record the complete desktop or apps, including File Manager.
