Complete Tutorial on Screenshotting and Recording with LDPlayer
In a word: The toolbar on the right side of LDPlayer comes with "Screenshot" and "Screen Recording" - click the screenshot button to capture the current screen immediately, and click the screen recorder to start/stop recording game videos. The file is saved to the emulator's shared folder by default and can be opened directly on the computer without installing third-party tools.

1.Take a screenshot with one click and automatically save it to your computer
The easiest way to take a screenshot: click on the right toolbar in the gamescreenshoticon (or set a shortcut key), the current screen will be saved immediately. By default, screenshots go to the "Shared Folder/Pictures" directory of the simulator. This directory has a corresponding path on the computer. You can get the original image by opening it. It is convenient for posting to friends, making strategy maps, and reporting bugs. The image quality is the original resolution without compression.
2.Built-in screen recorder to record game videos
Record screen click toolbarRecord screenClick the icon to start, click again to stop, and the entire game process is recorded into a video file. Suitable for recording strategies, exciting operations, and bug recurrences. When recording, try to close unnecessary multiple windows to save performance for recording; the longer the duration, the larger the file, so pay attention to disk space.
Three.Settings for screen recording without lag and blurry images
If the screen recording is blurry or stuck, first lower the simulator resolution/frame rate and make sure VT is turned on.
If the recording is blurry, it is most likely due to the low resolution of the simulator itself or the low video bit rate; if the recording is stuck, the performance is maxed out by recording + gaming. Processing: Make sure the game image quality and recording resolution are both maxed out at the same time, turn on VT acceleration, and give enough CPU/memory (seeCaton optimization), don’t open it too many times for recording, the picture will be stable.
Four.Where is the recorded screenshot video and how to upload it?
Screenshots and screen recording files are saved in the simulator by defaultshared folder, this folder has a corresponding directory on the computer (the path can be viewed/modified in the simulator settings), and you can get it by opening it directly with the resource manager without additional transfer. If you want to change the save location, just change the shared folder path in settings. For more ways to transfer files, seeFile transfer tutorial。
5.Should I use a third-party screen recording tool?
The built-in screenshots and screen recordings are enough for daily use.Generally, there is no need to install a third party. Only use OBS if you want to live broadcast while recording, add cameras/barrage, or do complex editing (seeLive streaming tutorial). Unknown screen recording plug-ins may contain advertisements or risks, so use the built-in functions of the emulator first.

Recording and Performance FAQ (8 Article)
LDPlayer always uses integrated graphics on a laptop with dual graphics cards and it suffers from lag. How can I force independent graphics?
Go to the graphics card control panel (NVIDIA or AMD) and specify the LDPlayer process as "High Performance/Discrete Graphics Card", or select independent graphics for LDPlayer in Windows "Graphics Settings", save and restart the simulator, and it will use independent graphics to run, which is obviously smoother. Don't let it default to integrated display.
How to unlock LDPlayer frame rate locked at 60?
Increase the frame rate limit in LDPlayer settings, and turn on "High Frame Rate/Ultimate Frame Rate" in the in-game image quality settings, both sides. It is also limited by the graphics card and resolution. If the graphics card is not enough or vertical synchronization is turned on, it will be stuck at 60. First confirm that VT is on, and then increase the frame rate.
What should I do if the sound of LDPlayer freezes and the audio and video are out of sync?
This is mostly related to performance or audio drivers. First, increase frames for LDPlayer as usual - turn on VT, reduce image quality, and add resources appropriately; then update the computer's sound card driver and turn off other programs that occupy audio. After the picture becomes smooth, the sound will usually keep up, and the out-of-sync between sound and picture will be alleviated.
LDPlayer suddenly becomes stuck. It was working fine before. What is the reason?
Common causes include a system update that changes virtualization (VT or Hyper-V is re-enabled), a problem with the graphics card driver update, or there are more resource-consuming programs in the background. First confirm that LDPlayer's VT is still on and Hyper-V is still off, and then roll back recent system or driver changes one by one to troubleshoot.
Is it normal for LDPlayer to get stuck when playing 2D cards and chess games?
Not normal, this type of game is very light. LDPlayer still freezes when running them. Basically, VT is not turned on, or there is a problem with the graphics card driver. After turning on VT, changing the rendering mode to OpenGL, and updating the graphics card driver, it usually goes smoothly. If even these light games are stuck, first suspect that VT is not effective.
Loading and spinning in the LDPlayer game are very slow. Is it lagging or is it the network?
It is necessary to distinguish: if the picture is smooth but slow to load and read, it is probably a disk or network problem - install LDPlayer to the solid state drive and check the network; if the picture freezes and drops frames, then it is a performance problem. Turn on VT, reduce the image quality, and switch to rendering to optimize. Decide which category it belongs to before taking action.
How to solve the problem of high network latency in LDPlayer and stuck network when playing games?
First make sure that the computer's own network is normal; LDPlayer uses NAT network mode by default. If you have problems with bridging, change it back to NAT. Also note that campus networks, corporate networks, and hotel networks often block emulator traffic or game ports. If you are on such a network and try another network, the delay will often improve immediately.
How to set up network bridging in LDPlayer so that it can network like an independent device?
Select bridging in the LDPlayer network settings, select the correct bridge network card (go to the control panel "Network Connection" to check which one is used), install the bridge driver, configure a static IP in the same network segment, save and restart the emulator. Bridging is an advanced requirement. If there is a problem, you can change it back to the default NAT at any time to restore the Internet.
