How to Screen Record Audio and Video on Windows 10

Check if your computer is on the latest version of Windows 10:

  • Open Settings (Windows Key + I) > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates. And if your computer is up to date you can move on to the next step

 Open Xbox Game Bar:

  • This program can only screen record one application at a time, so open the application you wish to record audio, video, and/or microphone input. Also, if you have dual screens make sure your cursor is on the screen you need to record to start the next step.
  • Press the Windows Key + G key
  • This will open the Xbox Game Bar or if this short cut does not work, use the Windows Search (Windows Key + S) and in the search bar and type “Xbox Game Bar” and Click “Xbox Game Bar”
