Google Play Games enables recording and sharing of game action

I remember a time in the past when it was frowned upon to post videos of gaming action forcing users to find a variety of workarounds. Things have changed though and now over 144 billion minutes of live game streams and recording activity are viewed on YouTube each month. Google appears to have figured out that instead of fighting against the current of mainstream culture, they should take advantage of it and hop on board. Today they announced a new feature for the Google Play Games app that will enable users to record and share gaming moments along with commentary.

In the games app, users will find a new record button is available to them. Once launched, users can select from either 720p or 480p recording. They can also choose to just record what is being shown on the screen, or utilize their front-facing camera and device microphone to add commentary. When finished recording, you can trim up the video and then directly upload it to YouTube.

Google says the ability to record gameplay will be rolling out to U.S. and U.K. customers over the next few days and will be expanded to other countries and markets over time.

Let us know in the comments what game you want to record and share with this new feature.
