This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off include microphone input by default when a screen recording starts with the Snipping Tool app for your account in Windows 11.

The Snipping Tool app includes a built-in screen recorder and allows you to quickly take and annotate screenshots, photos and other images with your pen, touch, or mouse and save, paste or share with other apps.

Snipping Tool app version 11.2307.44.0 introduces support for optionally recording your PC audio and voice overs using a microphone. New app settings let you configure the default audio recording settings for new screen recordings, and if you have multiple recording devices, you can select your preferred recording device before you start recording.



Here's How:

1 Open the Snipping Tool app.

2 Click/tap on the See more (3 dots) button, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)

3 Under Screen recording, turn On or Off (default) Include microphone input by default when a screen recording starts for what you want.

That's it,

@Brink BTW also found another method to disable this function for an Enterprise level, if you are trying to disable the microphone for this application. Add new key: Value Deny. This allows you to make sure that if the user is using the recording function that they are not capturing possible sensitive background audio.
