Screen recorder for Windows 11

Windows 11 has a built-in recorder, but it is limited to games and hides most options. ScreenCrest records anything on screen on Windows 11 — free, without a watermark and without an account.

Why record with ScreenCrest on Windows 11

The Xbox Game Bar that ships with Windows 11 refuses to record the desktop, File Explorer and many apps. ScreenCrest has no such limits: full screen, a single window or a hand-picked region.

Recordings are saved as clean MP4 files you can share anywhere. Nothing is stamped on top of the video and there is no time limit on free use.

How to record the screen on Windows 11

  1. Download and open ScreenCrest. No installation headache — one small file.
  2. Pick full screen, a window or a region. Drag to select the exact area you need.
  3. Turn on system sound and microphone. Capture game audio and your voice together.
  4. Press Record, then Stop. Your MP4 lands in your Videos folder.
