Automatic clipping
Out of the box, Medal detects CS2 events like Ace, 4K, 3K, Clutch, Knife Kill, and Headshot. Toggle what you want clipped and never miss a moment again.
One-click sharing
Instant link that embeds on Discord, Reddit, and X. No file uploads. No compression. No “file too large” errors. Ever.
Editor
Trim aces, slow-mo no-scopes, zoom into flicks, and crop for TikTok. No Premiere needed for a 15-second clip, with CS2 presets that make your edits look pro out of the box.
Multi-track audio
Medal captures game audio, your mic, and Discord on separate tracks. Drop out team chat or boost the callouts without re-recording a single round.
Replay buffer
Tune Medal's replay buffer from 30 seconds up to 4 hours, then hit F8 to save whatever just happened. Flexible enough for ranked, long enough for a full Premier match.
Clips you're in
When teammates clip a moment you were part of, Medal tags you in it automatically. Discover highlights from across your squad without pressing a button.
Voice commands
Hands locked on WASD mid-clutch? Your voice is enough. Medal saves the clip without touching the keyboard.
Cloud storage
Clips upload automatically to your Medal Cloud. Share a link that plays anywhere, with no downloads and no file transfers.
