Shadow & Manual, Shadow and Manual modes are the three to choose from.

The first “tweakable” setting is the mode. Once turned on all the options light up and you can begin exploring your options. To turn it on you have to click on the virtual on/off switch located at the left. The interface for the program itself is in a separate detached UI box to the GeForce Experience software. By default it goes to the videos folder on your OS drive. ShadowPlay gives you the opportunity to put it wherever you want so if you have a designated mechanical hard drive for video storage then you can put it there. If the defaults conflict with any game you play then simply change it to something else. Within the program the ShadowPlay icon is clearly located at the top right of the GeForce Experience software, that icon opens up the separate detached UI which we will cover shortly.Ĭhoosing exactly where those recorded files go will important for many people as they will be large files. Additionally you can set exactly where recorded videos go and the keyboard shortcuts for toggling the recordings.

This tab allows you to choose whether to show a recording indicator and where to locate it on the screen. The Nvidia ShadowPlay software is situated inside the GeForce Experience program. Under the preferences tab in the main program there is an additional entry for ShadowPlay.
