The built-in "Camera" app in Windows can not only be used to take photos and record videos of yourself through the webcam, but it can also be used to record activities on the computer screen, although this feature is relatively unknown.
This method is suitable for users who do not want to install additional software but need to quickly record videos. Here are the steps to use the "Camera" app to record screen on Windows 11 without sound:
- Open the Camera app:
- Click the Start menu, search for "Camera", and open the app.
- After opening the app, it is in photo mode by default. You need to click the camera icon on the interface to switch to video mode.
- When you are ready, click the red record button to start recording screen activities. At this time, it will capture your microphone sound, which is suitable for recording commentary videos.
- After recording is completed, click the record button again to stop recording.
- The recorded video will be saved in the "Camera" subfolder under the "Pictures" folder.
Although the "Camera" app is mainly used to record content captured by a physical camera, with some settings, it can also be used to record the screen. The advantage of this method is that it can be completed directly using the built-in tools in Windows without any third-party software, which is particularly suitable for simple recording tasks. If your recording needs are more professional or require higher-quality recording effects, you may still need to consider other professional screen recording tools.
