What's the best screen recorder software for PC on Windows 11?
You can record your screen using Microsoft Edge in two ways: 1) Using built-in screen recording tools like Xbox Game Bar or 2) Using an online screen recorder extension or website. Here’s how you can do both.
Method 1: Using Xbox Game Bar (Built-in on Windows 11)
Microsoft Edge doesn’t have a built-in screen recorder, but Windows 11 includes Xbox Game Bar, which allows you to record your screen.
- Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to the webpage you want to record.
- Press Win + G to open the Xbox Game Bar.
- Click on the Capture widget (if it’s not visible, enable it from the Widget menu).
- Click the Start Recording (●) button to begin recording.
- Perform the actions you want to capture in Edge.
- Click Stop Recording when done (or press Win + Alt + R).
- The recorded video is saved in This PC > Videos > Captures.
⚠ Limitations: Xbox Game Bar only records the browser window and may not work for recording File Explorer or the full desktop.
Method 2: Using an Online Screen Recorder in Microsoft Edge
If you prefer not to use the Xbox Game Bar, you can use a free online screen recorder:
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to an online screen recording site.
- Click Start Recording and allow necessary permissions.
- Choose Entire Screen, a Specific Window, or a Browser Tab.
- Start the recording and stop when done.
- Download the recorded video to your computer.
⚠ Limitations: Some online screen recorders require an internet connection or may add watermarks in the free version.
These are the best screen recorder software for Windows 11 PC. You can try both for free!
