Many times during a game, we need to record a clip almost automatically, to share it on the web or show off our skills. And although there are platforms to record a game clip, generally recording is cumbersome and interrupts your game. But there is an environment called Medal that creates a shortcut key to record game clips. When you press the key, videos are generated automatically and will be hosted in your Medal account. The program will also generate a unique URL for each clip created. This way, you can share the recording via email or social networks.
By default, it creates a clip of 15 seconds in length. But you can extend the clip duration to 30, 45 and 60 seconds. You can also install Medal on your mobile device and sync recorded videos with your phone (Android and iOS).

Before installation, we recommend you visit its website to check if your games are on the list. Some games are: PUBG, Counter Strike, Minecraft, Call of Duty Black Ops II, etc.
How to use the F8 key to record game clips and share them with other users?
First you will need to install Medal on your computer. You have to create a free account on its platform, so that it publishes the videos. When you run the utility, you will have to go to the settings section. From there, you can change the duration of the clips, show or hide sound alerts, publish clips automatically on the “Medal” server and copy the URL of the game clip to the clipboard, among other options.
At this point, you can start playing a game (that is compatible) and when you want to record a clip of the game, you just have to press the “F8” key (no need to hold it down). The environment will automatically create a clip and save it to your Medal account. If you activated automatic publishing, the video will be published immediately and can be viewed and rated by the community.

Really creating small videos of important moments of a game with just pressing a key is a very good solution for online gamers. Medal offers us this service for free and the possibility of hosting clips on its server and accessing them when we need them. Medal developers highlight the features of their platform, compared to similar programs such as: OBS, SHADOWPLAY and Plays.
