Let's explain how to record the screen on Windows 11 without programs and without installing anything.We will only use a native function that the system has inherited from Windows 10, and that is the Xbox Game Bar.This is a bar that appears when you press a certain key combination, and that takes you to a screen where you can add different widgets, including a performance meter or the option to make screenshots.

This Native Windows 11 bar will put things very easy, but it has some limits.You will not be able to record the screen on the desk or file explorer.It is a function designed to record video game games, although you can also record what you do in any other application, or even your browser.

Record screen with Xbox Game Bar

The first thing you have to do is press the Windows + G keys of your keyboard at the same time.This is the shortcut that will open on Windows 11 the Xbox Game Bar.

A bar with options will be displayed at the top of the screen, and perhaps some more windows are opened at the same time on the sides.The bar is that of Xbox Game Bar, and the other windows are their widgets.But we are going to focus on capture.For this, you have to have the capture widget activated, which has a camera icon in the upper bar.

In the capture window that opens at the same time that the Xbox bar in Windows 11, you will see that there are several options.To record the screen you have to click on the recording button, which has the characteristic point in medium.To your right, you can activate or deactivate the microphone depending on whether you want to record your speaking.There is also an icon of a camera to get screenshots.You can also start the recording by pressing Windows + Alt + R at any time.

When the recording starts a superimposed window will appear even when you close the Xbox Game Bar.This window will not appear in the recording, it is simply a visualizer that tells you the time you have been and has basic controls such as stopping the recording or activating or deactivating the microphone.You can stop the recording whenever you want in this window by pressing the stop button.

From Xbox Game Bar itself, you have a button to access all the recordings you have.This will open an internal window, but if it does not convince you or gives you problems, from it you can also open the file explorer to the folder where they are stored.
