Windows 11 and Windows 10 do offer a built-way to record the screen, which is to use Xbox Game Bar. Some users find this method helpful. But I personally don’t think it’s convenient enough. I also tried Bandicam, which is a popular screen recorder. But I don’t like the user experience.

I finally found an easy-to-use tool to record the screen. I’ve been using it for over two years. It’s free to use, but I believe there’s a paid version. I’m very happy with the free version.

This tool has a web-based version and a desktop version. I prefer the former. You can download the desktop if needed.

Steps: How to screen record in Windows 11 and 10 for free, with or without audio

1. In your browser, visit the official website of the Apowersoft tool.

2. You’ll find a Start Recording button on the page. Click this button.

3. In the Free Online Recording screen, you will see four options.

To record your screen with audio, select Screen and System Sound.To record your screen without audio, select Screen only.

4. Click the Start Recording button, and a message will appear to encourage you to download the app. Click the Continue recording button.

5. A dialog will pop up, allowing to you to select an area to record, such as the entire screen, a specific window, or a specific browser tab. Select the area that you need to record and click Share.

Now the screen recording will start. You can pause/resume or stop the recording at any time.

6. After you finish recording the screen, click the Stop button.

7. You will see a Save button. Click the Save button and then choose MP4 file or Original file based on your needs. Generally the MP4 file is recommended because it’s a popular video format and is widely supported.

This screen recorder is very easy to use. However, it’s not perfect. Instead of the entire screen, I only need to record a certain area on the screen. I wish it allowed me to drag to select an area. All in all, this is a good tool for screen recording considering it’s free to use.
