1. QuickTime for Mac

QuickTime is a native tool on Mac devices for viewing multimedia files. And although its primary use is to play multimedia files, like videos, images, and audio, it includes some basic editing tools like video cutting, recording screen and audio, and more.

Unlike some of the previous versions of QuickTime, there is no option to install the tool on Windows devices anymore. Nonetheless, this guide on screen recording for PC also includes a tool to screen record on PC Windows 10.

The good thing is almost all Windows computers come with these encoders. However, if the app is not working, this might be a significant reason. Coming to the controls of the Xbox Game Bar, all the options are clear, and anyone with the familiarity with the icons for recording, pausing, and sound can record the screen conveniently.
