The feature is very basic, but it contains the essential tools to produce a recording session of the entire desktop or an application that you can then preview, save, and share with other people.<\/p>\n<p>The feature allows you to select and refine the part of the screen you want to record before starting your screen recording session. Since this is a basic feature, you cannot crop or edit the footage. It&#8217;s all one take, and the Snipping Tool doesn&#8217;t support audio recording.<\/p>\n<p>Although you can find many third-party applications to create screencast videos, the recording feature in the Snipping Tool app can come in handy in many situations. For example, when you need to create personal videos to remember the steps to complete a specific task, help others learn something, or share steps with technical support to help resolve an issue.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a> will teach you the steps to record your screen on Windows 11. (You can also use the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/take-screenshot-snipping-tool-windows-11\/\">Snipping Tool to take screenshots<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2>Screen record on Windows 11 with Snipping
