If you want to show someone how to do something on their computer or explain a website's features, recording your screen and sending them the video can be very helpful. 

However, screen recording was a complicated process in the past, as Windows lacked any built-in tools. Luckily, Microsoft has made it much easier for Windows 11 users with a new screen recorder function added to Snipping Tool, which was previously only used to take screenshots.
