    > In this update, we are adding GIF export for screen recordings – designed to boost your productivity and turn quick captures into shareable moments.

    It is very funny that this article about a new way to do screen recordings documents how to use the feature without using a screen recording.

    This is going to be very useful for tech support. You can create a quick "tutorial" and paste it in Slack, Teams, etc.

    Still waiting for the QR code reader in SnippingTool (or PowerToys).
