● Step Recorder – The Grabbing Program for Windows 7

Windows7 has a screen grabber which is scarcely known among users.

Frankly speaking, this very windows screen grabber is not qualified enough as a “screen grabber”, it can’t record videos on WMP or capture webpage, it is literally a program serves to reflect feedback of problems.

Steps:
1. Open up Start Menu, Type “problem step” and then appear the option – “Record steps to reproduce a problem”. Double click it.

2. Hit “Start Record” and the program is about to capture any motions happening on the screen.
3. Stop recording, name what’s been created and save it to local folder. You will find the file is in “zip format”. Simply unzip it and open it, a webpage will jump out telling you what’s been captured.

This approach is smack of tricky. Yet leveraging such program on Windows 7 to make screenshots is, however, innovative.

Ending

This passage makes comparison between 3 distinctive Windows screen grabbers. And briefly speaking, Windows 7 nearly has no excellent built-in screen grabber to speak of except one grabbing program.

For senior users however, Game Bar lacks some of the features that they think highly of – features of editing and webcam recording.
