What is Nvidia ShadowPlay?
ShadowPlay is a graphics-accelerated overlay to record and share high-quality gameplay videos, screenshots, and livestreams.
It comes bundled with Nvidia 
GeForce Experience and therefore is only available to Nvidia users, on Windows platform.
INSTANTLY REPLAY AND RECORD Just pulled off an amazing stunt? ShadowPlay’s DVR-style Instant Replay mode already recorded it! Just hit a hotkey to save the last 30 seconds of gameplay to your hard drive or share to YouTube or Facebook. It works as game recording software to manually record gameplay videos for as long as you want—all at up to 4K at 60 frames per second. And ShadowPlay is hardware accelerated, so you can leave it running in the background without worrying about video capture impacting your performance.
NEVER MISS YOUR BEST GAMING MOMENTS NVIDIA Highlights automatically captures key moments, clutch kills, and match-winning plays, ensuring that your best gaming moments are automatically saved. Just select your favorite highlight and share to social media using GeForce Experience.
BROADCAST GAMES GeForce Experience makes broadcasting your favorite games fast and easy. With just two clicks, you can start a high-quality broadcast to Facebook Live, Twitch, or YouTube Live. It even supports camera and custom graphic overlays to better personalize your livestream.
CAPTURE GIFS AND 4K SCREENSHOTS Create up to a 15-second GIF from your favorite ShadowPlay video, add text, and upload it to Google, Facebook, or Weibo with a single click. Or grab screenshots at up to 4K and upload them to Facebook, Google, or Imgur—all without leaving your game.

GARBAGE. Requires 2fa at every single update, extremely unreliable, performance heavy - you name it, this pile of puke has got that problem. Windows game bar is better. It is in Windows anyway, and it works. Just bind alt+f10 to capture and you've replaced shadowpaly entirely without that stupid geforce experience crap.
