How to Watch, Record, Clip, and Share Minecraft Gameplay

Recording your Minecraft gameplay on PC is a fantastic way to capture and share your adventures and creations. Medal makes it easy (and free) to record, edit, and share your Minecraft sessions. Here’s how to do it!

1. Download and Install Medal.tv

Begin by downloading the Medal.tv application:

• Visit the Official Website: Navigate to Medal.tv and click on the "Download for Windows" button.
• Install the Application: Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

2. Create and Set Up Your Account

• Sign Up: Open the Medal.tv app and create a new account using your email or social media credentials.
• Configure Settings: After logging in, click on the settings icon (gear icon) at the bottom left corner to access various options.

3. Configure Recording Settings

To ensure optimal recording quality and performance:

• Navigate to Recorder Settings: In the settings menu, select "Recorder."
• Set Clip Length: Choose the desired clip length (e.g., 15 seconds, 30 seconds, up to 10 minutes) based on your recording needs.
• Adjust Quality: Set the resolution, frame rate (FPS), and bitrate to balance quality and performance. Higher settings offer better quality but may impact system performance.
• Select Video Encoder: Choose between software or hardware encoding. Hardware encoding (e.g., NVENC for NVIDIA GPUs) is recommended for better performance.

4. Set Up Hotkeys

Hotkeys allow you to start and stop recordings or create clips without leaving the game:

• Access Hotkey Settings: In the settings menu, click on "Hotkeys."
• Assign Hotkeys: Set your preferred keys for actions like "Start/Stop Recording," "Save Clip," and "Bookmark." Ensure these keys don't conflict with in-game controls.

5. Launch Minecraft and Start Recording

• Open Minecraft: Launch the game as you normally would.
• Start Recording: Press the designated hotkey to begin recording your gameplay. Medal.tv will run in the background, capturing your session.
• Create Clips: If you're using clip mode, press the clip hotkey to save the last few seconds or minutes of gameplay, depending on your settings.

6. Edit and Share Your Clips

After recording, you can edit and share your clips:

• Access Your Clips: In the Medal.tv app, go to the "Library" to view your recorded clips.
• Edit Clips: Use the built-in editor to trim, add captions, or apply effects to your clips.
• Share Clips: Once edited, you can share your clips directly to social media platforms or with friends via a shareable link.

Tips for Optimal Recording

• System Performance: Ensure your PC meets the recommended specifications for both Minecraft and Medal.tv to avoid performance issues.
• Storage Management: Regularly manage your clips to free up storage space.
• Stay Updated: Keep both Minecraft and Medal.tv updated to the latest versions for the best experience.

By following these steps, you can effortlessly record and share your base or adventures using Medal. Happy crafting; don’t dig straight down!
