In-experience video capture

In-experience video capture (or simply the video button) is a feature that was first released in December 2010 for Windows XP only. It was later released to Windows Vista and Windows 7 on February 28, 2011. It was released for Windows 8 a year later. It is a built-in video recorder.

When this feature was added, it had started to advent towards rapid usage. Before the date this was added, many people had used HyperCam, one of the best free recording programs at the time. By 2012, HyperCam-watermarked videos on Roblox were rarely seen on YouTube. This would be the best recording software for new or inexperienced users at the time before better software was introduced online.

Although the feature continues to be used by some new or inexperienced users who want to create online Roblox-related videos, its usage has generally declined, especially among older or well-known users, with the advent of more professional video capturing software such as Bandicam, Screencast-O-Matic, Dxtory, OBS, Camtasia, or live streaming software. The main issues of the in-experiences video capture include low-quality (its maximum resolution being SD/480p) and choppy recording, sounds or music not playing at the correct times, and the 14-minute recording limit. Using external recording software also permits users to use their voice to speak to viewers other than the in-game chat feature, so long as they have a microphone and it is enabled.

Tips

 * Try to hold your camera steady when doing either of these.
 * Don't go near too many other visitors to the experience you are in if you have an old computer; it can cause major framerate issues.
 * If your device is not powerful, turn your graphics down to prevent drops in framerate.
 * To change the resolution of the video go to Roblox Studio > Tools > Settings > Game Options > Video Quality.

Notes:
 * The recording will not always be good-quality. Framerate may also be choppy.

Trivia

 * The video recorder isn't available on the Microsoft Store UWP version of Roblox. That's why the app never replaces the web.
 * Oftentimes, when uploading a video to YouTube, before or after a user starts recording, they would turn the camera towards the character's face or hold down the down arrow key or S key so it would look like the character is facing the viewer, and usually, say something to the viewer like "Hello Youtube". This to get attention from the other visitors in the experience server.
 * Videos recorded by this feature are exported in WMV (Windows Media Video), a format that doesn't embed on many services like Discord, and is not supported on non-Microsoft devices without additional software.
 * Although some users usually use this recorder, others use different video recorders, such as Screencast-O-Matic, Bandicam, Fraps, Dxtory, or OBS to record in higher quality and so the user can narrate the video.
 * Some Roblox users use Dailymotion (a website similar to YouTube), however, this is not an option on the Roblox menu. Users uploading videos to Dailymotion may encounter certain problems with recording.
 * Whenever you uploaded a video on YouTube that was captured in-experience around 2010–2014, The name of the video would automatically be set to [Your username]'s ROBLOX video and the video description would automatically be set to Place description.
