Users find the gameplay recording software to be user-friendly and resource-efficient, with built-in options like Radeon Capture and Nvidia Shadow Play being preferred over paid alternatives like Gecata.

- “Great and easy software for recording your gameplay.”
- “I recorded 2 hours of Witcher 3 gameplay without a break.”
- “Can't record gameplay; it does not detect my games.”
- “I personally don't see a point in buying Gecata for $30/$60 (depending on version) if you're recording gameplay. You most likely have a GPU in your PC, use the built-in screen recorder or download OBS (it's free and extremely polished).”
