Taking screenshots is simple, but recording video from Chrome or another app you use can be complicated. Below we will see what you can do to record a video from your computer screen.
Windows game line
Windows Game Bar is for recording games from your PC, but it works in any other application as well. Make sure it is enabled, from Windows Settings as shown below picture:
Now if you are at Google Chrome or any other application that plays a video, you can open the Game Bar by pressing the two keys together [icon name = ”windows” class = ”” unprefixed_class = ””] + G. Click the red button to start recording of the video.
By default, your recordings will be saved in the "Videos" folder in another folder called "Collections".
Loom Chrome Extension
We usually do not recommend using a lot of extensions in browsers, because in addition to burdening the browser, they can also be easily used as spyware.
The Loom extension however is quite useful and maybe worth trying it out.
Loom is added to the Chrome toolbar and a click will pop up the registration window. It has the option of recording from camera and sound. It can also record your entire desktop from Chrome. Just click on "Start Recording" and then press the green button in the bottom left to complete the recording.
The most useful part of Loom is that once the registration is complete, your clip can be automatically uploaded to the Loom hosting service that will give you a link that you can share with others.
OBS Window
If you want more functions, Open Broadcaster might be worth a try Software (OBS). OBS is commonly used for streaming to sites like Twitch and YouTube, but it works just as well for recordings stored on your hard drive. The application works on almost all systems: Windows, macOS, and Linux.
