Many Nvidia graphics card users have access to this feature, but do you know how to enable Nvidia Shadowplay to record gameplay?
In this guide, we will show you step by step how to use Nvidia Shadowplay in steps
How to use Nvidia Shadowplay to record your gameplay
Nvidia Shadowplay can only be accessed through GeForce Experience , this is the Nvidia program responsible, among other things, for helping you download and install Nvidia drivers, and optimizing game settings
Here are the steps to use it in the game
Step 1: Launch Nvidia Shadowplay by pressing the keyboard shortcut Alt + Z.
If you can't open it, you may not have GeForce Experience installed. You can download it directly from Nvidia's website
2: Just below the Game Overlay toggle switch, select “Settings” to tweak some options before you start recording
Step 3: The two basic settings you should fully adjust before recording are Privacy Controls and Recordings: Scroll down in Settings until you find “Privacy Controls,” then enable “Desktop Capture.” Without this, you won’t be able to record at all.
Step 4: Other settings worth considering include
* Keyboard Shortcuts: Modify the shortcut used to bring up Nvidia Shadowplay while gaming, as well as other useful keyboard shortcuts
* Video Capture: In this section, you can adjust the video quality, resolution, frame rate, and length of the instant replay feature. If you're not sure what instant replay means, check out our section on it below
* Audio: This section allows you to isolate and mute specific audio tracks. This is useful if you are going to play a game while also using voice communication
Step 5: Now it’s time to record some gameplay. Open the game you want to record. You can then open Shadowplay again by pressing the Alt + Z shortcut, or by selecting the little overlay icon in the corner. Selecting Share will open the in-game overlay. This overlay can be turned on at any time, even if you’re not currently playing
Step 6: Before you start recording, decide whether you also want to record your webcam and microphone. You can adjust this in the Nvidia Shadowplay overlay, on the right side of the interface. Select the webcam and microphone icons to turn them on or off
Step 7: The recording will be saved in the folder you chose when setting up Nvidia Shadowplay, by default, recordings can be found in C: > Users > YourName > Videos
