Microsoft has released the Insider Preview Builds 22621.1245 and 22623.1245 of Windows 11 to subscribers to the Beta channel, there are several news. | |
Microsoft recently made Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds 22621.1245 and 22623.1245 available to Beta channel subscribers. The updates bring some interesting new features, including the one relating to the Operating System Snipping Tool, for which the Redmond giant has finally added support for screen recording, thus avoiding having to resort to third-party solutions and greatly simplifying the execution of the aforementioned operation. | |
The main changes of Insider Preview Builds 22621.1245 and 22623.1245 | |
Previously, as well as using third-party tools, it was possible to use the Xbox Game Bar to record the screen, but the operation was not guaranteed with all apps, while with the new Windows tool, already made available to insiders in the Dev channel last year, it feels much more intuitive. | |
Now, therefore, to record the computer screen after clicking on the appropriate option, the user can select the part of the screen to record and when the process is completed you can preview the recording before saving or sharing it. | |
Keep in mind that the builds in question also include other changes and fixes, including overcoming a number of bugs related to the Task Manager. Microsoft is also busy developing a new volume mixer which, as pointed out by several users, seems to be heavily inspired by "EarTrumpet", a popular third-party audio tool for the Redmond company's operating systems. |
