Solid since the very beginning I began my competitive gaming career back in 2018, right around the time Medal.tv grew in popularity. I was excited to try out the service after hearing about its social features and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. At one point, my life consisted of smashing bots, hitting F8, and reliably sharing my clips to gamers around the world. Hundreds of late night gaming hours and thousands of prolific clips later, Medal is still the first download on every fresh reinstall of Windows.

Useless now due to recent changes The app was amazing for a good year or two that I used it. It allowed you to take recordings, trim and upload them to share with friends really easily. However, a recent patch about a year or so ago limited the upload length of videos to 2 minutes, basically rendering the app useless for most people unless it's to share a short kill. But for most of the games I have, I want to share the entire gun fight which tends to run 4-10min. Trimming to just kill shots would be useless and boring. I had put in a request to extend it back to 10min but even after a year, they merged my ticket to a newer one and closed it without stating anything. It's unfortunate because they could have competed with other recording apps with a better business strategy and the right updates.

very heavy since a month liked it for awhile, but it uses sooo much more ram and gives me more spike drops than any other clipping program. when medal is fully quit my pc felt like it was brand new and i didnt even use full recording.

Worse and more expensive version of Nvidia shadowplay Frequent policy/terms changes, limit your videos to very low quality and tiny file size (only 2 minutes per clip unless you purchase premium). Used it for years. It's literally just Nvidia Shadow play but you actually have to install it, pay for it, and it's less consistent and has lower recording quality. Also has a tendency to corrupt your videos and make you lose dozens of clips.

Have to put up with too much stupid stuff. Recording is fine, the length is a minimal issue, but the fact that it is so inconsistent in whether it is going to record or not is stupid. Sometimes the app opens when I start up the computer, and it is ready to save clips, other times it can be open for hours and be glitched the entire time, with no visual indicators. It is really obnoxious to use, especially because it apparently causes horrible lag if you try to save a clip when it IS bugged?? I think that there should be some way to actually know if Medal is still "running in the background" instead of it saying it once and breaking.
