Trim the clip, add text or slow-mo in the built-in editor, then hit share. Medal generates a link that embeds on Discord, TikTok, and Reddit with no file uploads or compression.

Slow-mo the ace, zoom into the flick, drop a color grade for your montage. Medal ships with presets made for Valorant clips so your edit looks pro without opening Premiere.

When friends clip a moment you were part of, Medal tags you in it automatically. Discover highlights from across your squad without pressing a button.

“Clip that”

Hands locked on WASD during a clutch? Your voice is enough. Medal saves the clip without touching the keyboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to record Valorant on PC?+

Install Medal from medal.tv/download, launch Valorant, and Medal starts recording in the background automatically. Press F8 to save the last 15 seconds to 10 minutes of gameplay as a clip, or let Medal AI-clip your kills, aces, and clutch rounds for you. Works on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs - no GeForce Experience or ShadowPlay required.

What is the best Valorant game recorder for highlights and full matches?+

Medal is built for both. Automatic clipping catches kills, aces, and clutch moments on its own, while the instant replay buffer lets you save anywhere from 15 seconds up to 4 hours of gameplay on demand with a single hotkey.

Does Medal affect FPS or performance in Valorant?+

No. Medal uses hardware-accelerated encoding (NVENC, AMF, or QuickSync) and runs at under 5% CPU on most systems. You can also lower clip resolution or FPS in settings on lower-end hardware.

Can Medal record Valorant gameplay automatically?+

Yes. Medal detects Valorant events like Kill, 2K, 3K, 4K, Ace, and Knife Kill and saves them as clips on its own. You can still press F8 to manually save the last replay buffer, or say "clip that" for voice-activated capture.

Can I review my Valorant gameplay after recording?+

Yes. Every clip opens in Medal's built-in editor where you can trim, add overlays, slow-mo, and text. Full-session recordings are available too so you can scrub through entire matches without leaving Medal.

Does Medal support 1080p or 4K recording for Valorant?+

Yes. Medal records up to 4K with configurable bitrate and frame rate. Tune the settings to match your hardware and the storage you want to use.

Can I share my Valorant clips directly to social media?+

Yes. One click generates a shareable link that embeds on Discord and auto-formats for TikTok and Reddit. No file uploads, no compression, no "file too large" errors.

Will Medal get me Vanguard-banned?+

No. Medal is a screen recorder that uses standard Windows graphics APIs. It does not read or modify Valorant's memory. Millions of Valorant players use Medal safely.

Does Medal work on AMD and Intel GPUs?+

Yes. Unlike NVIDIA ShadowPlay which only works on GeForce cards, Medal works on every GPU: AMD Radeon, Intel Arc, and NVIDIA all supported.

Can I record Valorant replays?+

Yes. Open the in-game replay viewer and Medal will record just like a live match. You can also screen-record specific rounds and combine them in the editor.

Stop missing your best plays.

Install Medal, launch Valorant, and every kill, clutch, and ace is waiting for you after the match.
