What RePlays is
RePlays is a free, open-source tool for recording gameplay, making clips, and sharing gaming moments. It can manage recordings when it detects running games and includes a clip editor for preparing videos. Its recording functionality uses libobs from the OBS Project. Integrations for Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege can automatically bookmark moments such as kills, assists, and deaths. Windows users can download an installer from the latest release. Linux support is still in progress and generally requires building the software from source. The project identifies its license as GPL-3.0. Its website says uploaded videos and other data are stored on its servers within the EU, and that browser cookies are limited to those needed for service functionality. Videos submitted to RePlays.app must have been created with RePlays recording software; videos recorded directly from mobile devices are not allowed. The nightly release may contain breaking changes and is offered at the user's risk.
