Microsoft Built-in Video Capture

To open the app by pressing the Windows+G key simultaneously..
Select the Camera icon to open a window for capturing your screen. From here, you can choose to record your screen as a video or a screenshot.
If you’re taking a video, you might want to disable your microphone beforehand. Do this by clicking the Microphone icon and making sure it looks like it’s crossed through with a line before you proceed.
When you’re ready to begin recording, click Record (the button with the solid white circle).
When you’re finished, click Stop (the button with the solid white square located in the same place where the Record button used to be).
To review your recording, select Show all captures at the bottom of the window.
