Discord, the popular communication platform for gamers, has unveiled a new feature that allows users to easily capture and save clips from their gameplay. The in-app clips system aims to address the frustration of missing out on recording highlight-worthy moments during gaming sessions. With no dedicated replay feature in games like VALORANT and Apex Legends, players often rely on third-party software to capture their game-winning plays. However, Discord’s new clips feature provides a convenient solution to this problem.
The clips beta, initially available to Nitro members, enables gamers to capture, edit, save, and share their best streaming moments. To access the feature, Nitro users can go to the User Settings and find the new Clips Beta tab. Once activated, users gain access to additional controls, including customizable keybinds, encoding options, and clip length.
Discord Clips offers several unique features that set it apart from other similar functions. Users can edit the length of their clips and choose whether to include game audio and voice channel audio. This exclusive feature allows content creators to focus on gameplay without the need for separate audio tracks in other streaming software. Additionally, clips can be easily edited, saved, and shared on social media platforms.
While Twitch Clips and NVIDIA’s Instant Replay function of ShadowPlay offer similar functionalities, Discord Clips provides some distinct advantages. Unlike Twitch clips, which can only rewind up to one minute and 30 seconds, Discord clips can record for up to two minutes. Similarly, Shadowplay allows for up to 20 minutes of recording time.
Games like VALORANT are still in the process of developing their own replay systems, leaving players dissatisfied and reliant on external software to review their gameplay. Casual players who do not stream or meet the requirements for ShadowPlay often struggle to find accessible recording programs.
It is important to note that the Clips Beta is currently only available to Discord Nitro and Nitro Basic users. The feature is not accessible to the general public or supporters with Nitro Classic subscriptions. While there is no official release date for when the feature will be available to all users, Discord may announce a drop date in the near future if the beta testing goes smoothly.
