Nice, I did know Steam had an overlay, as I used it once. OBS, I have seen people use Replay Buffer. I'll probably check this out.
I don't know about the full functionality of the game bar, but I know ReplaySorcery does a good job with instant replays in games for me.
This is what I use. The project is dead and had some bugs that kept it running on my system right away, but as it's open source, I was able to fix the code a little bit to success. Just wish it was a little friendlier on cpu or could be selective on which apps to run instead of recording nonstop regardless. I have it start up with Steam for now though.
Is is just to record the screen or does it do something special in addition to that?
There are a few screen recorders out there. Maybe one will fit your fancy?
Also I can recommend alternativeto.net to find alternatives to just about any software or service out there. Here's the page on the XBox Game Bar
Did you seriously post that image from facebook?
Listen, it’s a screenshot from when I was using windows back in 2020. It’s from Facebook messenger, I just didn’t feel like downloading and uploading when Lemmy has a url link I can drop here. Sorry, I get why you hate Facebook, me too. I just find it convenient to use the link feature. Again, privacy badger is a useful add on I use that helps blocks Facebook and X (Twitter) widgets.
It's better when you don't upload them directly to lemmy instances anyway, it's expensive to host images. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
They probably just took the first good image from an image search and that image happen to come from facebook.
