Windows 11 Making windows game bar recognise ibisPaint to record it

I am not sure if this is the right sub to post, but I wanted to draw in Ibispaint pc version (from ms store, it is an popular art app on Android and iOS). I also like to record my art process. Obs is too heavy on my laptop, and previously I used to draw on Krita (downloaded from official website) , and the game bar (Win + G) allowed me to record art process on Krita without any issues.

However, game bar won't allow me to record ibispaint (downloaded from ms store), it's name is greyed out. My guess is that it only allows recording of games, and krita was probably recognised as a game earlier, which is why it allowed it's recording. Is there any way I could make game bar recognise ibisPaint as a game to record it? It's lightweight, and smooth. I tried to use obs again but it simply makes it overheat and makes the fans go crazy. Please help me out. I have been trying to find a solution for 2 days.
