What’s The Best Way To Record Destiny 2 Gameplay and Clips?

To record Destiny 2 gameplay and clips, we recommend using two programs, Powder and Gazoom. Powder uses artificial intelligence to automatically capture your best Destiny 2 moments in the form of clips while also supporting a reward-based program so you can complete quests and get gift cards! Gazoom, on the other hand, is a better option for gameplay video editing because this program will automatically capture your Destiny 2 clips, but it will upload them to a cloud so that you can access or edit them, even from your mobile device.

How To Record Destiny 2 Clips In A Few Clicks?

If you wish to record Destiny 2 clips (or videos) in just a few clicks, you won't need any third-party software or a capture card, but you will need at least Windows 10 installed on your PC.

To begin recording Destiny 2 using the Xbox Game Bar, press the Windows button + Alt + G on your keyboard to record clips for up to 30 seconds, or press the Windows button + Alt + R to record gameplay videos.

You'll find your Destiny 2 clips and videos in the C:\Users\username\Videos\Captures folder.

Whenever you want to rewatch or share your Destiny 2 captures, you'll find these videos and clips stored in the C:\Users\<Username>\Videos folder.

Method #2: Radeon ReLive

Find out how to record Destiny 2 gameplay using our second choice, Radeon ReLive, in the steps shown below:

  1. Visit AMD's official website and download Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition, and after installing it, you'll need to restart the PC before using the program.
  2. Then, click on the ReLive tab in the AMD Radeon Settings.
  3. Enable ReLive function (which is off by default) by ticking the button.

Restarting the PC was essential so that the program could auto-configure everything and save you some time you would spend configuring stuff manually.

However, some attractive options are off by default, which you should definitely enable. These options are "In-game replay," "Instant Replay," and "Instant Gif," which you can use to capture Destiny 2 clips and gifs in no time.

  2. From the main menu of OBS, select the + icon found under the "Sources" tab.
  3. Then finally, select the "Game Capture" option, write anything into the field, and confirm it.

You can also use the OBS to stream Destiny 2 on various streaming platforms since this program isn't created exclusively for gameplay recording.

Of all the settings, you won't need to change anything except for the keyboard hotkey, which we strongly suggest you set up so you can start recording Destiny 2 gameplay much more accessible.

Whenever you wish to record Destiny 2 clips or videos, just press the keyboard hotkey (if you have one) or click on "Start Recording" from the main menu of OBS.
