Part 1. How to Screen Record on Acer Laptop Windows 11 Using the Snipping Tool

If your Acer laptop has been upgraded to Windows 11, you can use the built-in Snipping Tool to record your screen directly. Compared with the traditional screenshot feature, the Snipping Tool in Windows 11 adds a screen recording function that allows you to quickly capture a specific area of your screen.

Step 1. Search for Snipping Tool in the Windows search box and open the app on your Acer laptop.

Part 2. How to Screen Record on Acer Laptop Windows 10/11 via Xbox Game Bar

Xbox Game Bar is a built-in screen recording tool available in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

In addition to recording gameplay, Xbox Game Bar can capture browsers, media players, and other program windows, while also supporting system audio and microphone recording.
