Hi guys! I will like to show you how to record video gameplay on your windows pc.
There are many channels on youtube that post only videos of games they played and they have thousands to millions of views and they are being paid to do just that. Be it a pro gamer who likes to show people tricks in doing some moves or an amateur who just wants to have fun you can also record your own gameplays and maybe make money on youtube too but that is a topic for another day
With the newest consoles, you can easily record without any additional software or hardware. If you play on a computer, there are free programs you can use to record your gameplay. If you're using an older console and don't have access to a capture card, you can use a video camera or smartphone to record your gameplay.
Guide on How to Record video gameplay on your Windows PC using the built-in Game Capturing Program on Windows10.
If you have Windows 10 installed on your PC then most likely you may not need third-party software to record video gameplay, because Windows 10 comes with a Game Recording application.
All you have to do is Launch the Game capturing app while playing games by pressing Windows/Home button + G and click on the record button to start recording.
But the above method works for High-end PC users with a very good graphics card.
If you use a Budget PC then you will need to use third-party software because you will get the following response, "Sorry this PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements for recording clips......" Then you will need to install the App recommended below to be to record video gameplay on your PC and be sure to set the recording quality to minimum or close to a minimum to avoid a decrease in the gaming experience.

By default, F7 is the hotkey used in starting/stopping recording
Your game will begin recording on your computer. Depending on your quality settings, you may or may not notice a decrease in the game's performance once you start recording. Obviously High-quality recordings may decrease gaming performance and will start to take up a lot of space on the computer.
Note: The trial version limits you to a recording of a 3GB file size.
