Record videos in games and share them with the capture button! | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Record videos in games and share them with the capture button!](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/neem-videos-op-in-games-en-deel-ze-met-de-opname-knop.png "Record videos in games and share them with the capture button!")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/neem-videos-op-in-games-en-deel-ze-met-de-opname-knop.png)Now that the **Nintendo Switch** has been out for a while, you have the capture button to capture all the great screenshots of your favorite in-game moments! Sometimes screenshots are not enough. Therefore, in some games you can now also record videos!

After installing the system update and relevant software updates on your Nintendo Switch, you can use the recording feature in **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild**, **Mario Kart 8 Deluxe**, **Splatoon 2** and **ARMS**.

In the future, more compatible games will be added.

## [](#how-does-the-capture-button-work)How does the capture button work?

f something interesting happens during a game, simply hold down the capture button until you hear a “beep”. This will save the past 30 seconds of gameplay. When the video is saved, a message will appear on the screen. The video can then be found in the Album.

After recording your video, you can customize it to get the best pieces, or even take screenshots of the images. It is also possible to share through social media!

Show you how you pass the finish line in style!
