Here's how to do it.

This new feature means there is no need for additional software.

It has a simple and intuitive interface and  directly integrates system and microphone audio.

Currently, only MP4 format is supported and unfortunately, there is no direct keyboard shortcut for recording initiation.

Imagine creating a software tutorial. With the Snipping Tool, you can record step-by-step instructions while narrating, making your tutorial more engaging and informative.

Embrace the simplicity and efficiency of the Windows Snipping Tool for your screen recording needs. 

With audio integration, your content will be more dynamic and immersive than ever before.

Enjoy!
