Suggestion

I have gone ahead and added a record feature with 2 hotkeys

hotkey . (This will record for 1 minute)

hotkey / (This will start and stop recording)

I've also added 1 button next to screenshot to manually click it

Can I merge this feature? It took some testing, but I got it to work!

Thank you. Please create a MR and I'll check it later.

Why does it have to be limited to 1 minute?

[redphx]

I still have mixed thoughts about this feature

• Limiting to 1 minute record is not useful
• Having longer records will likely run into memory problem. If it crashes users will complain about it.
• Making this feature work in Android app also a problem (same memory problem)

That's why I've yet to decide whether to implement this feature or not

@redphx ,

To be honest it depends on what games you are playing.example for valorant a given round is about 1 minute and 45 seconds. When a user makes a play or highlight, that play for example would probably be 1 minute long due to the structure of the game. Let's say you play madden and you have a nice kick off return, that clip would be about 25 seconds max.

I would say an adjustable time would be beneficial. I think 1 minute is plenty for most games.

As far a memory issue on android, I can test this on android. It really depends on the person's phone. Example, I have a s21 ultra. Is there a work around to this? Possibly, I can think of a few ways to get around the memory issue.

If you want me to try and optimize it for Android, let me know. I'll throw a few hours at it and test.

Edit: also, you can implement a max time to avoid crashing users. You can keep it a variable max time by pulling the android memory and seeing what is utilizable. Thus, if a phone has less memory then the max limit should be lowered.
