What you need to know
Keep footage before, during and after the event, avoid hiding important interface elements, add timestamps and check the link without signing in. Always follow the specific project's rules.
What the recording should show
Requirements vary, but continuity and the ability to understand participants' actions are almost always important. A clip that is too short may omit the start of a conflict, while a long recording without markers is harder to review.
- A few seconds or minutes before the disputed action.
- The action itself, without cuts inside the important segment.
- Nicknames, interface details or other identifiers required by the rules.
- The outcome and participants' reactions.
- Game audio, if it supports the context and is permitted by the rules.
Acceptable trimming and timestamps
Trim waiting, loading screens and footage unrelated to the report. Do not remove anything that could change the episode's meaning. If the rules require an unbroken recording, submit the full content.
A timestamp should point to a specific action rather than just the beginning of a long video. For multiple episodes, add a separate marker for each and briefly name the event.
Access and privacy
Before publishing, check for private conversations, email addresses, notifications or data from other services in the footage. ReplayBox stores the source file locally; the user starts publishing separately.
After uploading, open the link in a private browser window. This gives you roughly the same view as an administrator without access to your account.
Pre-submission checklist
- 01
Check the rules
Check the permitted duration, submission deadline, link format and interface requirements.
- 02
Keep the context
Preserve the beginning, key action and outcome.
- 03
Add markers
Set precise timestamps and give each a short, clear title.
- 04
Check the link
Open it without signing in and make sure the video plays.
Questions and answers
Can I cut pauses from video evidence?
Only if doing so follows the project's rules and preserves the meaning. For disputed situations, retaining an unbroken key segment is safer.
Do I have to record voice chat?
That depends on the rules and the nature of the report. If voice chat matters to the episode, test its recording in advance and consider personal data requirements.
Why check the link in a private window?
Access in a normal window may rely on your active session. A private window helps you check the page from an outside viewer's perspective.
