What it is
Streamlabs Highlighter is a gameplay highlight tool built into Streamlabs Desktop. It automatically detects gameplay highlights, then provides tools to edit and export clips. Instant replay is supported, along with multi-mode recording and GPU encoding. The Free plan costs nothing and includes automated highlight detection, clip editing, and export. The listed platforms are macOS and Windows, with supported versions of macOS 12+ and Windows 10+. Because Highlighter is built into Streamlabs Desktop, it is presented as part of that desktop software rather than as a separate service. Its listed functions cover the path from capture to prepared clip: replay, recording, encoding, detection, editing, and export. This makes it relevant to desktop users seeking a way to find and prepare gameplay moments for clips.
