How to Screen Record on a Predator Computer?

Published in Screen Recording 3 mins read

To screen record on a Predator computer running Windows, the most straightforward method is often using the built-in Xbox Game Bar feature.

Screen recording on your Predator gaming computer allows you to capture gameplay, tutorials, or anything else happening on your screen. The Windows operating system includes a convenient tool called the Xbox Game Bar that makes this process easy.

Using the Xbox Game Bar to Record

The Xbox Game Bar is a customizable overlay in Windows that provides access to various widgets, including capturing screenshots and recording video clips of your screen activity.

Here's how to use it:

  1. Open the Xbox Game Bar: To do this, press the Windows key and the G key on your keyboard at the same time. This action will open the Xbox Game Bar overlay on your screen, typically appearing over your current application or desktop.
  2. Locate the Capture Widget: In the Xbox Game Bar overlay, you will see a variety of widgets. The one you're interested in is the Capture widget. This widget is specifically designed for recording and taking screenshots.
  3. Start Recording: Within the Capture widget, you'll find a circular button with a dot inside – this is the "Record" button. Click this button to begin recording your screen.
  4. Recording Indicators: Once recording starts, a small bar will usually appear on the side of your screen showing the recording duration and options to stop the recording or mute your microphone.
  5. Stop Recording: To end the recording, open the Xbox Game Bar again by pressing Windows Key + G or click the "Stop recording" button on the small recording bar.
  6. Access Your Recordings: Recordings are automatically saved to your computer. By default, they are stored in your "Videos" folder under a subfolder called "Captures". You can also view recent captures directly from the Xbox Game Bar Capture widget.
