The new version 11.2211.35.0 for the Snipping Tool application, a screenshot tool for Windows 11, is available for Windows Insiders in the development channel.
The most important aspect of the Snipping Tool update is the introduction of a built-in screen recording feature, where previously users had to use the Xbox Game Bar or third-party tools to record screens.
To start recording, update the Snipping Tool app from the Windows 11 Microsoft Store, then simply open the Snipping Tool app and click on a new screen recording.
Before starting screen recording, users will be able to select the part of the screen they want to record. Once finished, they can preview it before saving or sharing it with others.
Microsoft says that since this is an early beta version of the app, there are currently several known issues with the feature, and some users may experience a slight delay between clicking “Start” and actually starting to record the screen.
The feature should be rolled out to everyone as a regular app update or as part of the Windows 11 feature update when testing is complete, which usually takes a few weeks or months.
