Which platforms and games does Medal.tv support for recording?
Medal records natively on PC (Windows 10 or later) and mobile (iOS and Android). It does not record directly on consoles, but you can import console system captures into Medal to edit and share them. On PC, Medal can capture any game you are running, and it adds auto-clipping event detection for a specific set of popular titles.
Platform support at a glance
| Platform | Native recording | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows PC | Yes | Requires Windows 10 or later |
| iOS | Yes | Watch and post clips from mobile |
| Android | Yes | Watch and post clips from mobile |
| Console (PlayStation, Xbox, etc.) | No | Import console system captures to edit and share |
Medal is available on Windows, iOS, and Android. Console recording is not supported — the workaround is importing clips your console already captured.
Game support on PC
Medal can video capture any PC game you are running. It also regularly adds support for new games so you can browse clips and organize them by game.
Separately from general capture, Medal offers event detection for auto-clipping in titles including:
- Fortnite
- Valorant
- League of Legends
- Apex Legends
- Counter-Strike
- and more
So the distinction matters: "supports all PC games" covers manual recording of whatever is on screen, while auto-clipping depends on Medal recognizing events in that specific game.
What you need to run it
- OS: Any PC running Windows 10 or later.
- Performance: Medal is optimized to be lightweight, with a reported impact of roughly 100–400MB of RAM, so low-spec systems can still run it. Recording settings are variable and storage is cloud-based.
- Quality ceiling: Up to 4K resolution at 144fps (or lower if you prefer).
- Codecs: H.264, H.265, HEVC, and AV1.
How to check whether your setup fits
- Confirm your OS is Windows 10 or later (or use iOS/Android for mobile).
- Install Medal and leave it running in the background — it stays ready to save what just happened.
- Launch any PC game; Medal can capture it regardless of title.
- If you want automatic event clips, check whether your game is on the auto-clipping list (Fortnite, Valorant, League of Legends, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike, and others).
- If you play on console, capture with the console's built-in tools first, then import those clips into Medal to edit and share.
Common snags
- Expecting console recording: Medal doesn't record consoles directly — only import.
- Assuming every game auto-clips: General capture works everywhere on PC, but event detection is game-specific.
- Worried about lag: Medal is adjustable and lightweight, but you can tune recording settings if your system is constrained.
