How to download and share Valorant replays with friends

How to download and share Valorant replays (2025 guide)

Today, Riot announced and launched it's much-awaited replay system, but it comes with some serious limits when it comes to saving and sharing your matches. Here’s what you can and can’t do, plus a solution that allows you to share your replays.

Can you download and share Valorant replays?

Not really. You can download a replay file after your match, but there are big restrictions:

• You can only view your own replays inside the client
• You cannot share the replay file with friends (the replay lives in your client only)
• Replays do not include voice chat, text chat, pre-round shops, or cosmetics
• Replays are not available for Custom games and other modes. They are only available for your own Unrated, Competitive, Swiftplay, and Premier games played on the current live patch

What you can do in Valorant Replays:

• Switch between any player perspectives on either team, or the third-person camera
• Jump to specific kills, rounds, or deaths
• Toggle the HUD and outlines

Valorant Replays are great for reviewing your gameplay or checking out other players’ POVs (like a suspected cheater), but Riot doesn’t give you a way to share or download anything you see.

The best way to share Valorant Replays and clips

If you want to be able to share highlights from Valorant, including from your Replays, Medal is the easiest solution. It gives you way more freedom to turn any in-game footage (live or replays) into clips and long recordings that you can instantly edit and share to Discord and more. This includes the in-game mic audio, your mic, and more goodies like a keyboard+mouse overlay.

Haven't heard of Medal? You've probably seen clips from it without even realizing...there are nearly 18 million Valorant players clipping with Medal already. Here’s how it works:

Record and clip your live games

• Use Medal while you play (it runs in the background, so you shouldn't even notice it)
• Capture a clip of what just happened by pressing F8. The clip is saved automatically; no replay required.
• You can adjust your preferred clip length, and even set up multiple hotkeys: sometimes you just need the past 15s clipped, other times you need the past 3 minutes, and sometimes you need to long record the entire match.

Record from your Replays

Didn't clip it live? Load up the Replay, and use Medal to capture a long recording, or clip specific/multiple POVs and moments from the Replay. Splice 'em together in Medal for the quickest montage ever, and share in seconds.

Why Medal is the easiest choice

OBS or ShadowPlay can capture gameplay, but then you just have files to deal with. Medal makes sharing easier:

• Allows you to use simple editing tools like trim, text, music, gifs, and video effects in the same place you captured your clips
• Allows you to generate an instantly shareable link to your clip (no searching for video files just to upload and get size-limited by Discord, for example)
• Allows you to bring your Valorant clips with you in the Medal mobile app, so you can edit and share even when you're not at your PC

That makes it the fastest way to share Valorant highlights, tutorials, or proof of hacking, and whatever else you're clipping in Valorant.

TL;DR: how to share Valorant replays

• Riot’s Valorant replay system is useful for review but has no sharing or exporting
• You can watch any POV, but you cannot send replay files to others
• Medal lets you record live matches or replays, edit them, and share a link instantly
