How To Capture/Record Your Screen in Windows 8 or 8.1

There are many software and apps available to capture or record your screen in windows operating system. But do you know in windows 8 and windows 8.1 you don’t need any third party apps to be installed in your PC to capture/record your screen.

I will show you how you can do it in simple way using built in windows features.

Step 1: Click the windows button in your keyboard and search for “steps recorder ” in the search interface on the top right corner.

Step 2: Right click on it and select pin to task-bar. It will help you start the application easily from task-bar when you want to use it next time.

Step 3: open the steps reorder from task-bar and go to settings.

Step 4: Now select where you want to save your screen capture/recordings. In my case I selected the desktop and put the file name “screen”.

Step 5: start your first recording and end it when you wish. The output file will be automatically created in your selected location.
