Instant Highlights

Updated over a week ago

Instant Highlights explained

Instant Highlights is a feature that allows you to retroactively record and save recent gameplay clips (15 to 60 seconds) with a single hotkey press:

  • Quick Capture
    Press Ctrl + \ (default hotkey) to instantly save the last few seconds of gameplay
    Captures are made in the background with no lag or disruption

  • Retroactive Recording
    Records what just happened, so you don’t need to anticipate moments in advance

  • Overlay Integration
    Accessible from the WeMod overlay while in-game, works smoothly alongside other WeMod features

This feature ensures you never miss saving those surprise moments worth sharing or reviewing.

Clips location

Your saved highlights are automatically stored and accessible in multiple locations for easy viewing, sharing, or editing:

  • Browse, play, rename, download, or delete your clips

  • Click “Open File Location” on any clip to access it directly on your device

File system access

  • Highlights are stored locally on your device

  • You can locate them manually via Settings > Videos > Video folder

Cloud storage (optional)

If enabled, clips can be backed up to the cloud for safekeeping and multi-device access:
