Plays.tv is described as 'Recording begins automatically as you start your game. Everything that’s important to you – webcam, mic, mouse clicks – can be captured with virtually no impact on system performance or hard drive space' and is an app in the video & movies category. There are four alternatives to Plays.tv for Windows, Android, iPhone and Steam. The best Plays.tv alternative is Nvidia ShadowPlay, which is free. Other great apps like Plays.tv are Nvtray, Gecata and Medal.tv.
ShadowPlay is a graphics-accelerated overlay to record and share high-quality gameplay videos, screenshots, and livestreams.
cant record full game sessions which is what everyone used playstv for
Editing is poor and shadow play is too noticeably intensive
NVTray provides some extra quality tweaks that both the default NVIDIA tray icon and control panel are lacking. I especially wanted to be able to select more Antialiasing modes, as well as OpenGL and Direct3D options right from the tray icon.
Gecata by Movavi is a lightweight game recording software for PCs that lets you capture gameplay or a Windows desktop with one click and no lags.
Medal helps you share and watch epic gaming moments with your closest friends.
Medal.tv supports whole session recording for also a while now. Only thing that I still keep missing from plays.tv is that old recordings are automaticly deleted if storage space ran out.
Cant record the entire session, only an amount of seconds...
