How to Screen Record on Laptop

About this video

This quick tutorial shows how to screen record on a Windows laptop with a tool most people already have: the Snipping Tool. Pressing Windows plus Shift plus R opens the recording interface, where you can drag to select a region or record the full screen. Before starting, Kevin toggles the microphone on or off and picks which mic to use, and decides whether to capture system audio from the computer. During recording he shows pausing and resuming, the elapsed timer, and stopping when finished. The finished recording plays back in the tool, can be trimmed or edited further in the free Clipchamp app, saved as an MP4, or copied to paste into other applications. He also points out the settings for whether mic and system audio are on by default for future recordings.

Key takeaways

• Press Windows+Shift+R to open Snipping Tool screen recording
• Choose a region or the full screen before you start
• Set microphone and system audio options before recording begins
• Pause and resume during recording; stop to review the playback
• Save as MP4, copy to other apps, or edit further in Clipchamp
