How To Enable Xbox Game Bar On Windows 11 [Tutorial]

The Windows 11 Game Bar is an underrated feature which allows you to easily screenshot, record, and stream directly from a game (or app) without the need for external software. Recently, the Game Bar got a fresh coat of paint, along with speed improvements and other new features. Here's what you need to know.

If you're a gamer, the Xbox Game bar is one of the best features of Windows 11. It gives you access to the so-called Xbox DVR, which is another way of saying that it lets you record the screen and take screenshots of the games you are playing.
