How do I submit a run?

I am wanting to try some Xbox one runs but am unsure how to do it without a laptop seeing as how that's how you control most integrated timers I'm wondering if I stream with mixer and save the videos and have a camera pointing at a timer on my phone does that count? And how do I submit it if it does

It's generally not necessary to have a timer. However, if you're really concerned, it would probably be best to ask the community for whatever games you intend to run, since they may have particular rules or better advice.

most games do not require a timer or really high quality recordings either. as long as you can visually see the game and hear it, then thats all that matters so long as there isnt anything obscuring the footage

as for a timer or splits, you can do without or you can do what you suggested and edit them in together, there is no proper way of setting things up, just there is a proper way of speedrunning a particular game based on the communities guidelines and rulings.

Yes, streaming your runs via the console's built-in streaming ability should be fine. Make sure to trim your stream VOD to the portion which is relevant (i.e. don't submit a 6 hour stream VOD if only 20 minutes of it are your run PB). I assume Mixer has some ability to trim videos as twitch does, I've never used it.

You submit your run by clicking on the "submit run" button on the page for your game and filling out the form that pops up.

Also, if you'll broadcast via Twitch, enable the feature to save your broadcasts before the run or all your effort will be for nothing.

Google, probably. Their account was made the day before this post.

I'm curious guys, what's the cutoff point for responding to a thread without people freaking out? Six months? A year? Obviously two years at minimum.

@Sand254630 go to any game and click the button that says “submit run.”

what if you can't find your run because no one has ever done it before?

You can request it as either a new game or a new category in the games forums
