Microsoft is finally adding the ability to record your desktop with its built-in screenshot app in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the software giant started rolling out<\/strong> <\/a>the capability in version 11.2211.35.0 of the Snipping Tool for Dev Channel testers in the Windows Insider programme.<\/p>\n

Principal product manager lead for Windows Inbox Apps Dave Grochocki said the feature would expand the capabilities of an app that was among the favourites of the Insider community.<\/p>\n

To date, Windows users have either relied on the Xbox Game Bar’s screen recording features or used third-party apps to capture events on their screen.<\/p>\n

In the case of the former, screen recording sometimes only works when an app window is open and not the desktop on its own.<\/p>\n

That is because it is designed primarily for in-game recordings.<\/p>\n

For Insiders that have received the update, the recording button is available next to the “Snip” button in the app’s toolbar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once selected, users can fence out the part of their screen they want to record with the cursor.<\/p>\n

When the recording is completed, the user will get a preview they can choose to save and share.<\/p>\n

In its current form, Microsoft said there might be some issues for users, like a slight delay in the recording session starting or the Snipping Tool app window not restoring when initiating a new snip from within the app.<\/p>\n
