Microsoft recently added the ability to record your screen in Windows 11 using the Snipping Tool app, which previously only supported screenshots. While the screenshot feature can be accessed easily with a key combination (Windows + Shift + S), currently screen recording is something you have to start with the program by opening the app first. However, this seems set to change in the near future, as the latest preview build released in the Dev Channel — build number 23419 — comes with a hidden keyboard shortcut that allows you to quickly start screen recording.
First time Twitter user shared it @employeeThere is a new Feature ID in this version, which is disabled by default, apparently allowing you to open the screen recording interface immediately. We say “apparently” because, as it stands, even if you enable the feature, the keyboard shortcut just opens the Snipping Tool app in the normal screenshot interface, rather than a screen recording. However, this indicates that Microsoft is working on this capability, and it also explains why the feature is currently disabled, since it doesn’t work the way it’s intended.
If you want to enable this feature yourself (although there’s no real use for it at the moment), you’ll need to download the ViveTool from GitHub, or the more user-friendly ViveTool GUI, which is basically the same app but with a GUI instead of an interface list on the command line. You will need to find the feature ID 42063280 and enable it (or use the command vivetool / enable / id: 42063280if you are using the original ViveTool in Windows Terminal / Command Prompt).
The latest Windows 11 build 23419 in the Dev channel also made another change to the Snipping Tool, and this is actually widely available. Now, click on File print screen The key on the keyboard will open the Snipping Tool by default, instead of taking a simple screenshot right away. This was a feature that was already available as an accessibility option but is disabled by default. Now, it is on by default, although you can still disable it.
