Seeing something done can be so much more impactful than trying to verbally explain the steps.

There are some low-cost and free options available, and the Windows 10 Game Bar is one of those. Mark Kaelin, contributing writer to TechRepublic, shows us how to use Windows 10 Game Bar to record training videos for free.
