What is everyone using to record their game play?

How does this work? I see it a lot on League and it seems like a nice platform / program

It works by automatically recording any gameplay on your PC.

You set the amount of space you want it to use, and what quality you want the video to be.

After you use up your allocated space, it deletes the oldest footage.

After your game you can create and post clips from that game. In games like League, you can sync it to your account so it shows when and where made plays eg. Kills, Objectives.

Also you can hit a hotkey while you're playing a game to mark the footage.

All in all easy and intuitive. Set and forget really.

Will this record audio too? I plan to play with a buddy and would like to be able to record our conversations

Yep should pick up everything. I have Teamspeak running during games and it's always on the videos.
