How Moments Capture Works
Moments automatically detects your games by scanning for installed game launchers on your PC, such as Steam, Origin, or the Xbox app. When you launch a supported game, Moments recognizes it and begins capturing.
*Note that Moments Capture does not work with cloud based games*
Moments offers three capture modes:
- Auto Capture (Default)
- Starts with game capture
- Falls back to screen capture if game capture is rejected
- Provides the best balance between game performance and capture success
- Game Capture
- Directly "hooks" into the game
- Captures video and audio from the game window
- Offers slightly better performance than screen capture
- May be blocked by certain games
- Screen Capture
- Records your entire desktop screen
- More flexible and compatible with various game types
- Continues capturing even if direct game capture is unavailable
Each mode has its advantages, and Moments selects the most appropriate one based on your settings and the game's compatibility.
