Yes. I'm aware of that. Powerpoint has it too. But I run a clean machine.
I deleted all the Microsoft-added bloatware on Windows the day I got it.

So when I type "Win+G", up pops a nondescript black & white error:
   "You'll need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay link. OK"

Still, it's a good idea for others who are on Windows 10 who wish to create
an animated GIF of a web session to provide to support folks to fix issues.

Here are all the screen recorders I've tried so far in my Windows tests:
 C:\> dir /b editors\screenrec\*
      apowerrec
      aviscreenclassic
      bsr
      camstudio
      captura
      chrispc
      cutescreenrec
      debut
      dvdvideosoft
      em
      ezvid
      fdr
      flashback
      freecam
      gamedvr
      gilisoft
      goplay
      hypercam
      icecream
      ispring
      jing
      licecap
      obsstudio
      screencastomatic
      screentogif
      sharex
      streamobs
      tinytake
      uscreencapture
      vclip
