How to record using the PlaytestCloud: Be a Playtester app
To record while you play, you will need to manually start the recording in the app. Entering a playtest and following the setup instructions will take you to that point.
This will record everything that is on your screen and what you say through the microphone. For info about recording your screen on PC, check out our article here.
When you're done or if you need to take a brief break, you just need to return to the app and manually stop the recording. It will upload to us as long as you're connected to strong wifi!
Note: In the case of iOS devices, you can also stop the recording from the control center (swiping down the screen from the top), but be mindful that you can't restart the recording from there. You still have to manually restart it from the PlaytestCloud app.
If you have any issues with recording through the app, please check out this FAQ.
Stay safe! If a playtest asks you to record while outside (as can be the case with location-based games), please stay aware of what is going on around you.
Don't forget:
When recording, you're recording your whole screen and therefore any notifications you receive, so it's a good idea to turn on Do Not Disturb. If something comes up and you need to leave the playtest for a short time, that's fine! You can return to it by reopening the app.
