The Invasion Will be Televised!
We’ve heard you asking for it and now it’s here! Patch 1.1 brings the ability to capture video and upload it straight to YouTube from in-game! No more messing with third party programs, or wasting hours waiting for your videos to process – you can do it all from the RIFT interface.
Just follow these easy steps to get started:
- Log into RIFT on the character you would like to use for your video
- Hit “ESC” to open the Main Menu, go to “Settings” -> “Video” -> “Record Video."
- Click the “Login” button and enter your YouTube credentials
It should look something like this:

Once you’re logged in, just type “/record” or hit “CTRL+Y” to start recording . You’ll see a little red icon by the mini-map to let you know you’re doin’ it right (mousing over the icon will let you see the name of the clip, and how long you’ve been recording).

To stop recording, just type “/record” or “CTRL+Y” one more time and the red icon will change to blue to let you know that it’s being encoded.

When your video has been encoded, the blue icon will be replaced by a check mark, which you can click to name the clip and send it to your YouTube channel.

Whether it’s invasions, boss fights, or just your avatar struttin’ their stuff on the /dance floor, get out there and start filming your character’s adventures in Telara!
Also, we’d love to have you share your videos with us, so be sure to upload or link them to the
RIFT page on Facebook, or tweet them to us (
@RIFTGame) with the hashtag #RIFTVid – we’ll be reposting and retweeting some of our favorites.
We can’t wait to see
your RIFT videos!
