Guide to screen record on your Windows 11

There are times when we miss the moments we wish we could have captured through visuals on the screen, be it any live info or capturing live gameplay but not more as in Windows 11, the Xbox game bar and PowerPoint lets you take screenshots as well as screen record MP4 videos.

Those of you missing how to get this done easily, follow the steps:
