Never miss an elimination, victory royale, or building highlight from your Fortnite stream. Follow this checklist to set up your stream correctly so Eklipse captures every moment. Create a Fortnite montage or share clips instantly with the Fortnite clip maker online.

✅ 1. Confirm Fortnite Is Supported #

Eklipse only works if the game is supported in its system. Check the Eklipse Supported Games List and confirm Fortnite 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 Fortnite, highlights won’t be captured.

Facebook Gaming #

✅ 3. Keep Fortnite HUD Elements Visible #

Eklipse reads your in-game HUD to detect highlights. If these elements are covered, clips may be missed.

Must stay visible:

• Elimination Feed: Top-right corner
• Health/Shields Bar: Bottom-left corner
• Weapon/Inventory HUD: Bottom-center
• Scoreboard / Match Info: Top-left corner

Safe to cover:

• Chat Box: Bottom-left corner (optional)
• Minimap: Top-right corner (avoid if possible)

Recommended Stream Overlays: Do’s and Don’ts #

Correct overlay placement is critical. If your facecam or alerts cover Fortnite’s HUD elements, Eklipse may not detect highlights.

✅ Good Overlay Placement

• Facecam in the bottom-left corner that doesn’t block the health/shields bar
• Alerts positioned away from the elimination feed
• The inventory and scoreboard are fully visible

❌ Bad Overlay Placement

• Facecam covering elimination feed or health/shields bar
• Alerts blocking the scoreboard or the inventory
• Widgets overlapping the weapon or item HUD

✅ 4. Set Stream Visibility to Public #

Eklipse cannot process Private or Unlisted streams. Always set your stream to Public before you go live.

Step-by-step:

1. Click your profile icon (top-right) and go to Creator Dashboard
2. In the left sidebar, select Settings → Stream
3. Scroll down until you find the Public Stream option → Enable it

✅ 5. Use Correct Language and HUD Settings #

For the best detection accuracy, keep Fortnite on default settings:

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