How do I use Advanced Window Capture?

You can enable Advanced Window Capture in the Settings > Clips & Recording section of the Medal application. Look for the Advanced Recording options and toggle it on to start using this feature.

Make sure to repair Medal after enabling the feature for the new settings to take effect.

Why is there a yellow box around my game window?

The yellow box is a Windows security feature indicating that your game window is being recorded by Medal only when Advanced Window Capture is in use. This box will not appear in your final clips or full session recordings.

To disable the yellow border that appears around a recorded window in Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Settings:
   • Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.
2. Navigate to Privacy & Security:
   • In the left-hand menu, select Privacy & security.
3. Select Graphics Capture:
   • Scroll down and click on Graphics capture under the App permissions section.
4. Turn Off the Screenshot Border:
   • Find the option "Let apps turn off the screenshot border" and toggle it on. This will allow apps to disable the yellow border that indicates screen recording.

Note: This option is only available in Windows 11.

By following these steps, you can remove the yellow border that appears around your screen when using recording or screenshot tools in Windows 11.
