Want every clutch, ace, and victory from your Counter-Strike 2 stream captured by the Eklipse AI clip maker? Use this checklist to set up your stream correctly. It covers overlay placement, HUD visibility, and in-game settings so Eklipse never misses your best plays.

✅ 1. Confirm Counter-Strike 2 Is Supported #

Eklipse only works if the game is supported. Check the Eklipse Supported Games List to make sure Counter-Strike 2 is included.

✅ 2. Select the Correct Game Category #

Eklipse detects highlights based on the game category you stream under. If your stream isn’t tagged as Counter-Strike 2, highlights won’t be captured.

Twitch:

• Go to Creator Dashboard → Click Stream Manager → Edit “Stream Info” → Set category to Counter-Strike 2

YouTube:

• Open YouTube Studio → Go Live → Choose “Stream” → Click Edit → Set Category to Gaming → Enter Counter-Strike 2 as game title

Facebook Gaming:

• Start Live Stream → Under Gaming, select Counter-Strike 2

✅ 3. Keep Counter-Strike 2 HUD Elements Visible #

Eklipse AI detects highlights by analyzing your in-game HUD. If key HUD elements are blocked, the system may miss important moments.

HUD elements that must remain visible:

• Kill Feed – shows eliminations as they happen
• Health & Armor Bars – tracks your current health and armor
• Ability & Cooldown HUD – displays timers for weapons and utility items
• Scoreboard / Match Progress – indicates scores and match status

HUD elements that can be covered safely:

• Chat Box – player messages
• Minimap – optional, though it’s best to keep it visible

Stream Overlay Guidelines: Do’s and Don’ts #

Proper overlay placement is essential. If your facecam or alerts cover important HUD elements, Eklipse AI may fail to detect highlights.

✅ Recommended Overlay Setup:

• Place your facecam in a corner away from HUD elements
• Position alerts so they don’t block the kill feed, health bars, or ability HUD
• Make sure all critical HUD information is visible at all times

❌ Overlay Mistakes to Avoid:

• Facecam covering the kill feed or health/armor bars
• Alerts blocking the scoreboard or team/utility HUD
• Widgets overlapping ability or weapon cooldowns

💡 Tip: Always test your stream layout before going live to ensure HUD elements are clearly visible.

✅ 4. Set Stream Visibility to Public #

Eklipse AI cannot process private or unlisted streams. Make sure your stream is set to Public before going live.

✅ 5. Use Default Language and HUD Settings #

For optimal highlight detection in CS2:

• In-game language: English
• HUD and kill feed: Default style and colors
• Avoid mods or custom overlays that hide or alter HUD elements
