Screen recording on an MSI Prestige Laptop can be a useful tool for a variety of reasons. Whether you're creating a tutorial, capturing gameplay, or recording a video call, the process is relatively straightforward. This guide will walk you through the steps to screen record on your MSI Prestige Laptop.
Before you start, it's important to note that while there are many third-party screen recording software available, Windows 10, which is the operating system on your MSI Prestige Laptop, comes with a built-in screen recording tool called the Xbox Game Bar. This tool is primarily designed for recording gameplay, but it can also be used to record other activities on your screen.
To begin, press the Windows key + G on your keyboard to open the Xbox Game Bar. If you're opening this tool for the first time, you might see a message asking if you want to open the Game Bar. Click on "Yes, this is a game" even if you're not recording a game. This will bring up the Game Bar interface on your screen.
The Game Bar interface has several widgets, but the one you're interested in is the Capture widget. If you don't see it, click on the Widget Menu (the icon that looks like two overlapping squares) and select Capture from the list. The Capture widget has controls for screen recording and screenshot capture.
To start recording, click on the Start Recording button (the circle) in the Capture widget. If you want to record your voice or other sounds along with the video, make sure the microphone icon is turned on. If it's crossed out, click on it to turn it on.
Once you start recording, you'll see a small recording bar with a timer and stop button. You can use this bar to pause or stop the recording. When you're done recording, click on the Stop button. The video will be automatically saved in the Videos > Captures folder on your computer.
If you want to record a specific window instead of the entire screen, press the Windows key + Alt + G. This will bring up the Game Bar with the option to "Record last 30 seconds". Click on this button and the recording will start. To stop the recording, press the Windows key + Alt + R.
Remember that the Xbox Game Bar is a basic screen recording tool. It doesn't have advanced features like editing or annotating the video. If you need these features, you might want to consider using a third-party screen recording software.
In conclusion, screen recording on an MSI Prestige Laptop is a simple process thanks to the built-in Xbox Game Bar tool. Whether you're recording a tutorial, a gameplay, or a video call, this tool can help you capture your screen activities with ease.
