3 Customise keyboard shortcuts
Game Bar’s keyboard shortcuts are incredibly useful. There
are a number built into the tool, but you can also customise them
to something more to your liking. Scroll down the settings slightly
and you can see a list of default shortcuts – simply select any that
you’d like to change and enter the key combo you’d prefer to use
instead. Click ‘Save’ when you’re finished.
4 Enable background recording
Usually you will want to start a recording at a particular
point and stop it when you’re finished, but you may wish you
could step back in time and start a recording slightly earlier.
That’s what ‘Background recording’ is for. Enable it and your PC
constantly records, giving you the option of saving footage from
30 seconds (or more) ago to capture important action.Jargonbuster!
