How to easily Record a Video of an OpenGL or Vulkan App in Windows 10

JeGX — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 19:00:43 +0000

These last months I used NVIDIA ShadowPlay to capture videos of my OpenGL or Vulkan demos. ShadowPlay works fine but for me, there are two drawbacks: it requires an NVIDIA GPU (very minor drawback) and you have to be logged in GeForce Experience (major drawback). I recently discovered an easier way to record videos of my GL/VK apps/demos: the Windows 10 Game bar. Win10 … Continue reading How to easily Record a Video of an OpenGL or Vulkan App in Windows 10 »
