If you're not into Google's own screen recording methods, there are many third-party options in the Google Play Store. One of our favorites is AZ Screen Recorder. It's simple to use, yet provides more features and customization than Google's options. You can pick from many resolutions, pick bit rates, customize frame rates, make time lapses, and more.

1. Download AZ Screen recorder from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the app. It will ask you permission to do a screen overlay. Go ahead and grant it.
3. When the app is opened, you'll see a floating bubble with a camera icon. Tap on it.
4. Hit the camera icon to start recording.
5. Select Start now.
6. You'll see a three-second countdown before the app starts recording.
7. The floating bubble will become a Stop button. Tap it whenever you're ready to stop.

How to record your screen on Windows 10

Xbox Game Bar

Windows 10 has a built-in Xbox Game Bar. This tool can be used as a screen recorder, among other things. It doesn't work for recording your desktop or file explorer, but you can use it for anything else as long as it's in full screen.

1. Search for the Xbox Game Bar app and launch it. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Windows + G.
2. Click on the Widget Menu and select Capture, if the Capture window isn't enabled yet.
3. You can press the Record button or use the shortcut Windows + Alt + R.
4. A Capture Status window will appear somewhere on the screen. You can use it to stop the recording, and mute/unmute your mic.

Most Windows 10 computers should be able to do this, but there are some hardware requirements. Your video card must support the Intel Quick Sync H.264, Nvidia NVENC, or AMD VCE codecs.

Third-party apps

There are also various third-party apps available that let you record your screen on Windows. Some are available for download directly from the Microsoft Store as well. One of my favorites is OBS Studio. It's a free and open-source product that lets you record or livestream what's on your screen.

1. Download and install the OBS Studio desktop software. OBS Studio also supports older Windows versions going back to Windows 7, along with MacOS 10.13+, and Linux.
2. Go through the Auto-Configuration Wizard to get everything ready.
3. Click the + button under Sources.
4. Add Display Capture. You can also choose to add Audio Input Capture and Audio Output Capture.
5. Once set up, click on the Start Recording button.
6. The Start Recording button will turn into a Stop Recording button. You can use it when done.
7. The app will send your recordings to your Videos folder.

The steps above are to simply record your screen. However, this is a professional-grade app that gives you granular control over almost every aspect of your screen and audio recording. If you're looking for a complete screen recording package, OBS Studio is an excellent option.

1. Turn your Chromebook on and unlock the screen.
2. Press Shift + Ctrl + Show Windows.
3. A menu will appear. Select the video camera icon.

Those who have a Chromebook that can run Android apps can also use Android's third-party apps. Some Chrome OS computers also support Linux apps, which means even something like OBS might work, depending on your device.
