Go to Tools | Options | Video in the Xfire application and make sure of the following:

• Enabled Video Capture checked
• Make note of the Video Capture Key Binding
• Full-size or half-size correctly set
• Check Record Sound if desired
• The correct audio devices are selected
• Note: If you have Vista and don't see your device, see the instructions in the FAQ.

Recording video is hard on your computer - if you are having trouble playing your game, set the recording size to half-size and do not record sound.

Launch the game that you want to record and start playing.

When you are ready to record, push your capture key (default Scroll Lock + V). A red light will start blinking at the top of your screen to indicate that you are recording.

Press the capture key again to stop recording.

Your videos are managed in the Video tab in the Xfire application. All your videos are listed there - both local videos on your hard drive, and remote videos you've already placed on the Xfire website.

To upload your newly recorded video, right click on the video and select "Upload Video." Xfire will convert the video to a web version and upload it automatically to your personal page on the site.
