How to Record your Gameplay in Windows 10: Save and Share themWish you can record or share a video of amazing moments from games that you're playing? Windows 10 finally lets you record your game footage in a simpler way, via the Xbox app that comes bundled with the OS itself.

Windows 10 includes a "Game bar" that users can bring up with a simple shortcut, Windows key + G, for quick access to gaming features. The bar features five buttons (the small panel to the right of the bar can be used to drag it around the screen):


How to Record your Gameplay in Windows 10: Save and Share them

Follow this step:
  1. Xbox app shortcut
  2. generate recording of the previous 30 seconds, à la Xbox One's "Xbox, record that" — but only if background recording is enabled (hotkey: Win + Alt + G)
  3. take a screenshot (hotkey: Win + Alt + PrtScn)
  4. start/stop recording (hotkey: Win + Alt + R)
  5. Game DVR settings
You can take a screenshot with the command Win + Alt + Print Screen. Both videos and screenshots are saved to your computer with the name of the game and a timestamp in the filename. They also show up in the Game DVR section of the Xbox app, from where you can share them with your Xbox Live friends.

You can enable or disable the app, and replace the default keyboard shortcuts with hotkeys of your own. But, the app doesn't let you change the output folder for videos and screenshots. For video quality and resolution, you can select "standard" or "high".


For now, the Game DVR feature just seems designed for capturing videos and sharing them later. There’s no way to live-stream gameplay, so you’ll still need third-party game-recording utilities for live-streaming.
