The built-in snipping tool can't record screen with audio. That's why a lot of folks asking this question. Unfortunately, you could be lost in the web as there are so many many options out there.

If you need more advanced features (e.g., recording specific windows, editing tools, or higher-quality output), third-party software is a better option. OBS is the best free screen recorder.
How to Record My Screen on Windows 10 with Sound
Step 1: Go to the OBS Studio website and download the software. Install and open OBS Studio.
Step 2: In the "Sources" box, click the + button and select "Display Capture." Choose the screen or window you want to record.
Step 3: In the "Audio Mixer" section, ensure your desktop audio (system sound) and microphone are enabled. Adjust the volume levels as needed.
Step 4: Click "Start Recording" in the "Controls" section. To stop, click "Stop Recording." The recording will save to the default folder (you can change this in Settings > Output > Recording Path).
Tips for Better Recordings with Sound Input:
1. Check Audio Levels: Test your microphone and system audio before recording to ensure everything is clear.
2. Adjust Quality Settings: Higher quality settings will result in larger file sizes. Balance quality and storage based on your needs.
3. Close Unnecessary Apps: This reduces system strain and ensures smoother recordings.
