Microsoft is finally adding a built-in screen recorder to Windows 11 through the Snipping Tool, enabling users to capture videos of their desktop without the need for a third-party app.
The update is being pushed as part of a phased roll-out to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel and will be available once Snipping Tool version 11.2211.35.0 is installed.
"You will then be able to select and refine the part of your screen that you want to record before starting your screen recording session," Windows Inbox Apps Principal Product Manager Lead Dave Grochocki explained.
As the Snipping Tool is an 'inbox' app, which are applications automatically installed by default in Windows, all users will eventually be able to have this feature without installing additional software from Microsoft.
If you are running the latest Windows 11 Developer build and do not have the new screen recording feature in the Snippet Tool yet, please be patient, as it is slowly rolling out.
On Friday evening, Redmond also announced that the Windows 11 widgets board would be fully functional even if users are not signed into their accounts.
