Finally, you won't need a third-party applications
to video capture your on-screen activities on Windows. The build dubbed 10240 of
Windows 10 that Microsoft
released
last week has quietly added this functionality to the desktop operating system.
In the new build,
Microsoft is providing
users with lots of handy tooltips when they open programs. Windows key + T, for instance, opens a new tab; Windows + G opens the Game bar. What's interesting about this game bar is that it works with any application, and one of the features that it offers
is the ability to record on-screen activities.
TechAU first
discovered
this tool, and in our brief testing, we managed to get this feature to work seamlessly on Microsoft Edge, and Groove Music among other applications. On file explorer and home screen; however, things weren't the same, as the feature only seems to work in conjunction
with an application.
Also, the Game bar feature needs specific
hardware modules in order to facilitate the video capturing option. You would need one of the
following graphics card to use this feature: AMD Radeon HD 7000 series, HD 7000M series, HD 8000 series, HD 8000M series, R9 series, and R7 series, GeForce 600 series
or later, GeForce 800M series or later, Quadro Kxxx series or later.
Of course, the Game bar doesn't offer as
many features as paid screen capturing tools like Camtasia, but it still should please most users. Apple's OS X Yosemite desktop operating system, in comparison, offers built-in on-screen video capturing feature with QuickTime application.
