Any business owner responsible for drafting documents to explain processes or procedures knows that images can aid in this goal, giving your users a way to fully understand where to click and what to do. For Windows 10 users, there is a great feature built right into the operating system that lets you take screenshots, and we’re not just talking about the Prt Sc key. In fact, this proposed solution is more dynamic than that key could ever be.
This solution is the Xbox Game Bar, a tool built into Windows 10 that allows users to take screenshots, record video, and record audio. It might not seem like an immediate solution, but it gets the job done in a pinch, provided your organization has not disabled or uninstalled this feature on its workstations. This solution might be intended for gaming purposes, so it might be uninstalled or removed from work devices. If you have any questions, reach out to your IT provider (you can call us at (954) 834-2800 if we handle your IT).
