## Overview LDPlayer includes a built-in Video Recorder. It captures the display of the emulator and saves each clip as a video file. You can keep highlight moments, review them later, or share them. Because the recorder runs inside LDPlayer, it may use less CPU and RAM than separate screen-recording software.
## Verify Click the play icon after you end a recording. If the clip plays, the recording saved correctly.
## Why this works
The recorder reads the LDPlayer display directly, so you do not need a separate capture window. Before a long session, record a short test clip. Play it back and check the picture and the file size. That check shows whether the definition you chose suits your PC.
## What to expect
After you click End, LDPlayer saves the recording as a video file in the default folder. Click View to find it. Clicking Pause holds the recording without ending it, so you can resume the same clip. The recorder captures the LDPlayer display only, so other windows on your desktop do not appear in the clip. If playback stutters, the recording may be competing with the game for resources. Try a lower definition.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- Send a recording file to someone, or upload it to a video platform such as YouTube, to share it.
- The recorder captures the LDPlayer display, not the whole desktop.
- LDPlayer also includes LDMultiplayer, Synchronizer, and Operation Recorder for multi-instance use and automation.
## Common mistakes
- Choosing the highest definition on a busy PC. Higher definitions use more CPU and RAM, which can add lag. Choose a lower definition for long sessions.
- Clicking End when you meant Pause. End stops the recording and creates the file. Start a new recording to continue.
- Skipping the disk space check. Higher definitions create larger files. Check the drive that holds your recordings before a long session.
- Sharing a clip without reviewing it. A clip can show account names, chat text, or other personal details. Review it before you upload it.
