Best game recording app?

Im currently using Outplayed but its lately bugging out and not recording. I used to use NVIDIA but it also had issues recording audio. Also I had to manually edit in the registry so it can record a hour of the game.

I mostly use it to make clips for social media. So it cannot have watermarks or anything

So easy to talk behind a screen

EEarthasaurusRex obs would be the best

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 5:50 AM

The issue I have with OBS is that it is manual....I have to manually hit record each time.

u can clip certain times like 30 seconds before u hit the hotkey to clip

arqtic•7/25/25, 6:34 AM

and the interface is really simple

arqtic•7/25/25, 6:34 AM

and its really easy to share clips cos all u gotta do is just copy the link and share

arqtic•7/25/25, 6:35 AM

it gets the job done perfectly with no bullshit features that dont need to be there

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:16 AM

I mostly need to clips to edit and post on social media

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:17 AM

I would like to keep recording all matches

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:17 AM

If i need to hit a hotkey...its not for me

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:18 AM

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:18 AM

yea? I wouldn't want an app to record when I didn't want it to.

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:20 AM

if you want to specifically clip, OBS has that feature as well named "Replay Buffer". you run replay buffer while playing and you hit a hotkey to clip a certain amount of time, which you can customize

EEarthasaurusRex yea? I wouldn't want an app to record when I didn't want it to.

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:20 AM

I want to record everything: Makes it easier for VODs, sending reports to Riot, editing clips manually, etc

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:20 AM

Again, Im not intrested in manual

I need automatic

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:20 AM

Like I mentioned, the only reason Im switching from Outplayed is because currently it sometimes bugs out and doesnt record

Icarus•7/25/25, 7:20 AM

I’ve used overwolf outplayed
If you record the whole match, you don’t get any watermarks

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:21 AM

@Icarus Yeah, that what I use currently but sometimes it bugs out and doesnt record the match and/or audio is missing

Icarus•7/25/25, 7:21 AM

Idk then, I’ve always used that and never had any issue

Rriahc3 Again, Im not intrested in manual 🙂 I need automatic

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:21 AM

but like
you literally just click a button
why would you want an app that records without you specifically wanting to?
it's really not difficult to press the record button.

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:22 AM

@Icarus Yeah for example I played today and it recorded it perfecly

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:22 AM

@EarthasaurusRex Thats the entire point: You shouldnt click a button. Set and forget, just like Outplayed

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:23 AM

Outplayed records the entire match and after x time or x space, it removed old recordings

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:23 AM

I also can manually just remove old recordings

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:23 AM

It makes it SOOOO much easier

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:23 AM

Instead of pressing a button or remembering to press what button

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:24 AM

Just the other day, a friend asked me if I can pass the video so he can make a clip. I pass the video and he makes the clip

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:24 AM

With "button requirements", i couldnt do that

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:26 AM

pressing a button to clip isn't hard, nor is just recording your whole play session and trimming out the clips you want

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:28 AM

@EarthasaurusRex I just gave you a prime example of a scenario that pressing a button isnt ideal. Another example: 13-12. You are not even thinking about a clip. You are thinking about the strat to make it 14-12 and end the game. After that, you are not even going to remember it and/or if you go to 13-13, you will forget

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:28 AM

That is why entire automated match recording is MUCH better

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:28 AM

And its what I am looking for

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:29 AM

If only Outplayed gives that....well, thats why its used mostly I guess

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:30 AM

I've never had an issue with forgetting to clip.
If that's a consistent issue, you can still just record the entire game and clip it out later.
if you absolutely need a program to do everything for you, I'm pretty sure Medal has an auto clipping feature.

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:32 AM

You are then playing on autopilot as Valorant requires thinking thruout the game, pre, mid and postround
Thats exactly what I mentioned and I do: I record the entre game, edit the clip, adding additional effects

You dont get 100K view TikTok clips just directly uploading the clip.

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:35 AM

No, my mind goes "I hit a clip. better clip that"
Then use OBS to record the entire match. if you somehow forget to record before you start playing, maybe content creation isn't at the front of your mind.

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:36 AM

Exactly. You are just running on autopilot. Thats ok
Maybe Im not explaining it correctly. OBS requires manual intervention: Opening the program, hitting record, etc.

Icarus•7/25/25, 7:37 AM

Pretty sure medal doesn’t require that

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:37 AM

dude how lazy are you that opening a program and hitting record is already too much

Icarus•7/25/25, 7:37 AM

Once you start the game, it detects it and starts recording

EEarthasaurusRex dude how lazy are you that opening a program and hitting record is already too m...

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:38 AM

My god are you dumb

Has nothing to do with laziness

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:39 AM

@Icarus Yeah, if Medal does it, great. I would expect it to. NVIDIA does whatver you set it in the registry to, Outplayed does it too...I just wasnt sure if Medal does it.

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:39 AM

so what's the issue with opening OBS and hitting record

EEarthasaurusRex so what's the issue with opening OBS and hitting record

riahc3OP•7/25/25, 7:39 AM

EarthasaurusRex•7/25/25, 7:40 AM

you could also not answer my question

Best game recording app?
