1- How to Record Screen  in Windows 10:

If you are a teacher, you don't need a separate screen recording tool because Windows 10 and Windows 11 have an inbuilt screen recorder. Now you might be wondering how to use this screen recorder. For example, if you want to record the MS Word application, first open MS Word on your computer, then press Windows+Alt+R on the keyboard.

By doing this, you will see that your screen recording has started. Now whatever you do will start to be recorded. The recorded screen is usually saved somewhere. To stop the screen recording, press Windows+Alt+R again. This will stop the old recording and start a new one. 

When the application is closed, the recording will automatically stop. To find the recorded screen, you need to press Windows+G together, which will open the Windows Gaming Bar. The recording is actually a feature of Gaming.

When you press Windows+G, you will see many options. You will also get the option to capture. 

Click on Show All Captures to find all the recordings you have made. If you want to know where all these files are located on your computer, click on Open File Location. This will open the Windows Explorer where you will find the Windows recording. This way, you can easily record anything with less effort.

There are different options for capturing the screen. Select the area which you want to capture and release. Then you will get the option of Snip Saved to Clipboard. Click on it and a window will appear where you will get the option to Save or Copy.
