How to record videos in Windows 10 with Game DVR

From the first versions of Windows it is possible to capture the screen to obtain an image of the desktop or the program that you have open at that time.

For many years, this function was as easy to activate as pressing the Print Scrn or Imp Pant key that came standard on most keyboards. This key was initially intended to print the contents of the screen using the printer connected in the previous times to the graphic environments, when everything was text and command line.

But to record a video of what you do on your computer is more complicated. Until before Windows 10, you had to install one of the many video screenshot programs . Its utility? Record a video tutorial to explain how a certain task is done with a certain program, record what happens on the screen as a "security camera" or simply record a game . YouTube is packed with video tutorials and videogame games.

Thinking about the latter, Windows 10 integrates the Game DVR or Xbox Game DVR function , which allows you to record videos of what is happening on the screen, be it a video game or any task you do on your Windows desktop. Thus, you do not need to install a specific program or app, simply by activating Game DVR you can record a video, save it and share it if you wish.

To activate Game DVR you have to press the Windows + G keys and a button bar will open: the Xbox button that starts the Xbox app for Windows 10, an icon that when you press takes screenshots in image format , another icon that creates game clips , the button to record and stop the video recording when you decide (which is the one that interests us) and, finally, the configuration button and another to move that bar and that does not bother you on the screen.

If Game DVR is not activated with that key combination or if you want to start and stop recording from the keyboard without the need for a button bar, you will have to use the Windows + ALT + R key to start the video recording and press that combination of keys again to stop it. The screen will flash at the beginning and end so you can see that you have activated and deactivated it correctly. If you only want to capture a static image, use Windows key + Alt + Imp Pant .

Game DVR may not be activated. In that case, you will have to go to the Xbox application and in Settings> Game DVR verify that the option Record game clips and screenshots with Game DVR is activated . From that configuration menu you can also know in which folder the captures have been saved in image or video format ( Save captures> Open folder ) although by default they are recorded in the Videos> Captures folder .

Among the configuration options, you can define if you want a timer to be displayed on the screen , useful for not recording more time than desired. It also allows you to record in the background automatically if you are playing. This option, called Record game in the background , saves video clips from the last X seconds or minutes that you previously set.

Game DVR is designed to record games in full screen , but we can use it for any other use. However, for that reason, you will miss certain options, such as highlighting the mouse cursor or recording only one window instead of the entire screen. These functions and more advanced ones are available in specific programs like Camtasia. But for simple full-screen recordings and without having to install or configure virtually anything, Game DVR is an option to consider if you use Windows 10 .
