Elgato Game Capture is a powerful program for Windows that includes a variety of instruments for capturing videos with your gameplay. There is also the possibility to set up streams of live events, competitions, raids or other adventures.
Connect capture device
First of all, you need to connect the Elgato Game Capture HD60 device to your personal computer with Elgato Control Center, or PlayStation, Xbox or Wii. This will enable you to record clips from the video games you play. The utility comes equipped with a streamlined graphical interface that contains all the features you require to capture or stream your footage.
Additional capabilities
While recording capabilities take up the large section of the GUI, the main window also provides you with other convenient functions. For instance, you are able to add tags, toggle flashback capture, and take screenshots. Unfortunately, there is no support for timed capture. It is recommended to set hotkeys for starting and stopping the recording.
It is necessary to point out that the application has several editing features for correcting your video prior to uploading or sharing them.
