The short version
Clip PC gameplay in four steps.
Once the app is installed you never think about recording again. The whole loop is one key, a quick trim and a publish.
Play like normal
Switch auto-record on and the buffer arms itself every time a known game launches. Pick a replay buffer of 15 seconds up to 2 minutes.
Press F9
The last moments are saved as a clip and land as a private draft on your profile. Nothing goes public yet.
Trim, tag, publish
Cut the clip to the good part, tag the squad members who were in the moment and publish when you choose.
The desktop app
Recording that runs itself.
The app does the remembering so you can play. Everything below ships in the free Windows app.
Instant replay buffer
The recent past is always recorded. Choose how much F9 saves: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes.
One key to save
Press F9 the second something happens. The buffer means the moment was recorded before you reached for the key.
Auto record on launch
Turn it on once and the app records from the tray every time a known game launches. No start button after that.
Auto clip highlights
In beta. Loud moments can be saved for you, so the play you forgot to clip still lands in your drafts.
Your mic, cleaned up
Include your microphone if you want the callouts in the clip. Noise cleanup is on by default, so keyboard and fan noise stay out.
From draft to feed
Trim it, tag your squad, publish.
Every capture lands as a private draft on your profile. What happens next is up to you.
Tag the squad who were in the moment
A clutch is rarely a solo act. Tag the squad members who were there and the clip spreads with them.

Frenz works in the browser and phones use the mobile web app. Bring clips from console captures, your phone or an old folder, then trim, tag your squad and publish the same way.

Questions players ask.
Direct answers about the replay buffer, auto recording, your mic, drafts and posting without the app.
How do I clip PC gameplay with Frenz?
Install the free Frenz desktop app for Windows, play like normal and press F9 when something good happens. The app keeps a rolling buffer of the last 15 seconds to 2 minutes, so the moment is already recorded. The clip lands as a private draft on your profile.
How long can an instant replay clip be?
You choose the buffer length: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes. Pressing F9 saves that much of what just happened.
Do I have to start recording before I play?
No. The app starts with Windows and lives in the tray. Switch auto-record on once and the buffer arms itself every time a known game launches.
Can Frenz clip highlights for me?
Yes, in beta. The app can save clips on loud moments by itself, so a play you forgot to press F9 for can still land in your drafts.
Does the clip include my voice?
Only if you want it to. You can include your microphone, and mic noise cleanup is on by default, so the clip keeps your callout and drops the background noise.
Are my clips public right away?
No. Every capture lands as a private draft on your profile. Trim it, tag your squad and publish when you choose.
Can I clip without the desktop app?
Capture needs the Windows app, but you can upload existing clips from any device. Frenz works in the browser, and phones use the mobile web app.
What happens when I tag my squad on a clip?
The clip shows on their profiles too and reaches their followers' feeds, so everyone who was in the moment gets the reach.
