How to Adjust Video Frame Rate and Quality in Windows 11

This article explains how to change the video frame rate and video quality with gameplay captures in Windows 11.

When playing your favorite games on Windows, you can capture important and cool moments and save the video for later. To do that, press the Windows logo key + ALT + G to capture the moment.

The gameplay moments you capture are automatically saved in the Video folder of your home directory. However, Windows lets you change that default location to another drive or folder with more free space and set the max recording length for video clips.

The video frame rate and quality can also be critical when capturing gameplay moments. Changing the video frame rate and quality can be important when capturing gameplay moments because it affects the smoothness and overall look of the video.

A higher frame rate can make the video look smoother and more fluid, while a lower frame rate can result in choppiness and missing frames.

Similarly, a higher video quality can result in a sharper and more detailed video, while a lower quality can result in pixelation and blur.
