Stream Recordings & Clips
Every stream you broadcast in-game is now recorded, and every player can clip their last minute of play at any time — camera on or off. Recordings and clips live in one place, can be replayed inside the client, downloaded, and shared with the community on a new page of the website.
Recording your streams
• Turn the camera on (broadcast mode) and the server records your stream automatically. Nothing to install, nothing to configure, and zero cost for your client: the recording happens entirely on the server.
• A recording captures exactly what a spectator of your stream sees: the map around you, creatures, effects, names and health bars, chat bubbles. Your UI, inventory and private messages are never part of it.
• Automatic recordings are kept for 30 days. Streams shorter than 60 seconds are discarded, and a very long stream is split into files of up to 4 hours.
Clips

• The server keeps the last 60 seconds of every online player in memory. Press the new Clip button (next to the Discord and Twitch buttons) or use the Easy clip hotkey from the Hotkeys window, and that minute becomes a recording of its own, marked with a CLIP tag.
• Clips work with the camera off, so you never miss a play you didn't plan to stream. Nothing is written to disk until you press the button, and there is a 30-second cooldown between clips.
• A clip is a recording like any other: same 30-day retention, same save, share, download and replay options.
My Recordings
Right-click the camera button to open the My Recordings window.

• Server tab: everything the server holds for you, newest first, with duration, size, tags (REC, CLIP, SAVED, SHARED, VIDEO) and when an automatic recording expires.
• Save up to 20 recordings permanently, with a name of your choice. Rename or Unsave them at any time; unsaved recordings go back to the 30-day rule.
• Share a saved recording to publish it on the website; Unshare hides it again. Web opens its page in your browser.
• Download copies the recording file to your computer. The Local tab lists your downloaded files, and Play opens them in the built-in player: pause, 0.5x to 4x speed, fast-forward and restart. A downloaded clip starts right at the beginning of the clipped minute.
• Delete removes a recording (or a downloaded file) for good.
The community page
Shared recordings appear at https://www.padventures.org/index.php/p/v/recordings: thumbnail, title, votes, downloads and a video player. The video is generated by the server shortly after you share (the page shows "processing" until it is ready), and anyone can also download the original recording file to watch it in their client.
The title of a shared recording goes through an automatic review before it is listed. If it is rejected, the recording is unshared and the reason is shown in your recordings window — rename it and share again.
Limitations and notes
• The in-client replay shows everything exactly as the game does. The website video is a re-rendering of the recording and skips a few client-side effects: night and cave darkness (videos are rendered at full brightness on purpose), outfit glow and outline effects, auras and wings, medals and target markers.
• Recording files can only be played in the Padventures client.
• A shared recording is public: anyone can watch and download it. Unshare it at any time to take it off the page.
• Requires the latest client — the launcher updates it automatically.
