What it is

SteelSeries Moments is a free Windows application for capturing and editing gameplay clips. Users can start capture with a custom hotkey or use AI clipping to save highlights in supported games; listed examples include Fortnite, Counter Strike 2, League of Legends, and Street Fighter 6. The app can trim clips, combine selected footage into montages, and manage clips by exporting, renaming, deleting, filtering, or favoriting them. Audio from multiple sources can be captured and edited independently. Clips can be uploaded to YouTube, Discord, Reddit, and Twitter (X). Trims can be saved as new files at full video and audio quality. Users can set capture intervals and save locations, while adaptive bitrate varies with frame complexity. The listed platform is Windows 10 and newer. Stated requirements include 8GB RAM, 2GB video RAM, and 500MB of disk space, as well as Intel Core i5-2xxx or newer or AMD FX-4xxx or newer CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce 960+, AMD Radeon HD 7870+, or Intel HD 4000+ graphics.
