Maybe you want to try your chops at streaming on Twitch, or maybe you just found a hilarious bug in a game you have to show off to the world. These days it’s never been easier to record your gaming sessions, and share them with the world.
Game recording can be finicky though. Ask a bunch of streamers what their favorite software is, and you’ll get a bunch of different answers—and you’ll likely hear countless stories about how “x program didn’t work with y game,” or “so and so program crashed all the time on me.” Sadly, recording games isn’t always trouble-free, and everyone’s experience is a little different, so if you’re serious about recording your gameplay, you’ll definitely need to try them out for yourself—and you may want to have a couple programs on hand when one just isn’t cooperating.
