How to Use the Free Xbox Game Bar
The Xbox Game Bar allows you to keep tabs on the performance of your system while you play your favorite games. It displays information such as CPU, FPS, and GPU utilization in percentages, as well as information about your graphics quality. You can even watch live Mixer streams from your Xbox. You can also share your creations with your friends right from your Xbox. This handy tool can help you find a raid party without having to use a third-party website.
While using the Xbox Game Bar, you can disable it by launching its settings menu. To do so, open the Control Panel, and choose Settings > System. You can also disable the Xbox Game Bar using the Windows Power Shell, but keep in mind that this method will only work if your PC is running Windows 11.
For example, you can use the Game Bar to access the Xbox Social tab, take a screenshot, or start or stop screen recording. But unlike other launchers, it does not work with other applications. It is free and is built into Microsoft's operating systems (such as Windows 10).
The Xbox Game Bar comes with six buttons, including a camera and microphone. You can click on the camera icon to start recording, or use keyboard shortcuts like Windows + Alt+G to record for 30 seconds. The timer and microphone buttons will help you control the recording duration. In addition, you can also record your gameplay and save it as a screenshot. You can also chat with your friends in game and send them a screenshot. This can all be done from the Xbox Game Bar without leaving the gaming environment.
