What To Use To Record

Lately, there have been a lot of people submitting runs to the leaderboards without video proof. It is very understandable that people struggle finding recording software that works for them, but unfortunately we must reject any runs that do not have a video to accompany the time. I have made this guide to help anyone who doesn't know what to record their runs with, and I hope you are able to use one of the softwares that I list.

If you want to run full game speedruns, you need a good recorder that will not lag your game down. OBS is the software that most speedrunners turn to, as it has proved itself to be a very effective and convenient. If OBS is not something that suits your fancy, using Windows 10 gives you a free recorder in the Windows GameBar, which you can access by pressing win-g. Bandicam is also a good recording software that does not lag your game too much. If using a Chromebook, there is now a built-in ChromeOS screen recorder that you can use, but people have reported success with Nimbus, a Chrome extension. IOS users can use the Screen Record button to record their runs. If all else fails, pointing a camera at your monitor should suffice. Please make sure that all aspects of your game are visible throughout the entire recording.

If it isn't too laggy, you could also stream your run in the Discord server with a mod watching so that they can verify it. This is not a good method of getting your runs verified, and I deeply discourage it.

IL, or Individual Level runs give a lot more flexibility as to what you use to record it, as they aren't loading as much stuff, allowing you to use laggier recording softwares that would normally impede you if you were to perform the run live. 

Screencastify is a slightly laggy Chrome extension that lets you record your runs without much of a hassle, nor a download. This makes it relatively popular among school Chromebook users that cannot download any outside softwares. I'm sure that there are other, more niche recorders for Chromebook users, but I've seen the most people use Screencastify.

Thanks for reading this guide, and I hope this cleared anything up with certain recording softwares that are good for speedrunning.
